Hi everyone. I have just brought my new GTR 33 and yesterday was driving it around, I went around a corner in second gear and changed a 5 revs, the car then sort of almost stalled, and had no reving power at all it just idles at around 1 rev. I turned the car off and on and the problem disappeared. Again today same thing only twice it happened. I could feel the car getting a little sluggish and then........ back down to 1 revs with no power the car would just roll to a stop! Does any one know what this could be? Do you think it has any thing to do with the boost controller which I have not touched since i brought the car. It has only 12,000kms on the clock.

Thanks

Air flow meter? Was having probs with my gts-t. Every now and then it'd get a bit sluggish and the revs would drop. Stalled a few times, other times I'd get something like engine/fuel cut out at about 2500 rpms - there was no way the revs could get over 2500. Started happening at 1000 rpm last week got it checked out and found out the air flow meter was stuffed. I've replaced it and havent had a prob since.

mickGTR - might be an idea to see if you can find a workshop which has the new Snap-on computer system. I'm not sure exactly what its called but I know its reasonably new. You plug catridges (compatible to the car) into it and then connect to a particular point on the car and it will instantly computer diagnose the problem.

I have been having trouble with my GTS-t,

It feels like it is surging when I put the foot down,

It was boosted @ 12 psi, went in for service And came back with this problem we thought it could be the cpu,

I said it shouldnt be the battery went flat so we thought could lead to the problem, change that still there, so its going in on friday, and we are going to look at the fuel filtter this time.

I have had the same problem, just got my car back from nissan, it sounds like an afm problem, element could be dirty or connection loose, i doubt you would have the same prob i did but inside the connector box on the afm, some the pins inside had their solder snapped off, they were still touching for a connection but it obviously wasnt giving out enough voltage to get a proper signal to the computer, nissan sent it off to get re-co'ed, the test and reco cost me around $120, but could be fuel pump or even igniter module but probly not, if the fuel pump was on the way out it would make some load whining sounds every now and then, and if the igniter module can be faulty when the car is warmed up

anyways hope this can help in anyway

Hi guys. Im having the air flow looked over by a mechenic today. Im not to sure if it will be that though, as sometimes the car runs beautifuly, and others, just out of the blue it will do as I mentioned. At first i thought it might be a problem with the boost controller...... but Im not sure as I dont know much about the mechenics of the car.

Regards

Mick

thats why u see a 12 yo car with 10-50 k k's

yeah i agree with ya ..

either they turn it back or they just replace the cluster ..

have seen 1993 GTSTs with 30k km and average 96-97 GTSTs are having like 100k km on them already ..

maybe they just turned back the first digit on the left side .. :uh-huh:

mickGTR, Yeah same thing was happening to me, changed the AFM on Monday now the car is fine.

12,000ks, sounds abit suss......

When I was looking arond for my car, there was a 98 skyline at the importer with about 100,000ks on it. Went back afew days later, same car less than 1/2 the amount of ks on it....

They all do it!

they dont replace the clusters ( extra expence ) the just turn them back usualy before they come in and almost always before they put them up for sale .

dont forget cars have a hard time in japan too .they dont do as many k's as they do here but always in traffic and not always seviced either.

i've had a few jap engines apart with lopw k's and they have plenty sludge inside , something u dont see in australian engines with very high k's like 300-400 k k's and the are still clean .

most peple here change the oil at least every 10 k k's and a lot of them use good oils .

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).

      Ogura orc1000f vs Osg tr2cd vs Osg r3c experiences, max torque/max hp?

      By WR33KD · Posted

      I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as

      Rusty roof repair

      By Duncan · Posted

      Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By Duncan · Posted

      This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By dingleberry · Posted

      hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy
