i have a 1993 r32 gts-t and latley its been acting like a bitch :rant: sometimes it will drive fine with out a problem then others times it will start jerking after 4000 rpm to about 5000 then it just revs really slowly after that and on long trips the jerking starts to get worse to the point that i cant go past 2000 rpm unless i let the car rest for a bit then off i go and i just seem to have no power it just dies i put the foot down and nothing.

i have changed spark plugs to a gapped .08, changed to splitfires coils changed afm and im about change fuel filter.

what else could it be or should i just take it to a shop and get it looked at and if so are their any good places in toowomba that can look at it, or just take it to brisbane to get looked at

cheers james

Prolly start at listing your mods, if anything coincides with the occurrence... umm etc?

The only mods are a 3inch turbo back exhuast and a hks pod filter

the zorst was put on after as i thouhgt the cat could have been blocked and the pod has been on for ages before the problem

the problem realy is when going up in rpm then it like a really bad miss casue teh car to jerk when i decel its fine then after about 30 min of highway drive just sitting on 100 if i come to a hill the car just dosnt want to acel up the hill. if i let it sit for a while its fine again for a little while. The plugs are gapped .08 and they would be about less than 500km old.

ill see how the car goes when i put the afm that i just soldered up back and see what happens.

What the h3ll is it with ppl avoiding taking their car to a mechanic?? I wonder just how many cars are kept off the road for months at a time cos of ppl scratching around on here trying to solve faulst which could be solved in a hours of a mechanic's time. Especially when ppl have a hard time describing faults on here... you could just SHOW it to a mechanic and say "THERE! THAT! What IS that?? Fix it pls!"

Probably shagged coils/plugs along with running too rich. Fix up your air fuel ratios, regap your plugs down to .8 (lower if needed) check your coilpacks for cracks. This is a very common problem, theres about 10 threads on it if you do a search.

Does the car idle correctly or hunt at idle? Why do u have plugs gapped to 0.8 yet have to boost mods?

0.8 gapping its only "needed" after 10psi from what ive been told?!

If its hunting at idle its coil packs, they will need to be replaced.

How much fuel do you use? this could help us determine if the car is running super rich and fouling the plugs?

If you AFM clean? If not search threads on how to clean it.. there is a sensor which lets the ecu know how much fuel vrs air to inject if its dirty or covered in oil then it will not work effectively and may be making the ecu hit a safety cut of some type, perhaps fuel or air cut.

If your running a boost controller over 10psi you could be hitting either.

Perhaps a visit to the mechanics is in order

with fuel econmy i was getting about 350km to a tank with a mix of highway and city driving but since the problem has started i havnt driven the car much just to and from work and around town. ill see what happens when i clean out the afm and put it back in. A new fuel pump cant hurt either i guess as the car is 14 years old. And should i go back to the 1.1 gapped plugs instead of the 0.8 as im just running the standard 10 psi boost. It does hunt at idle but the coils are brand new splitfires that have been in for under 300km old. would a o2 sensor be apart of the problem or no way. and since moving to millmerran i hanvt really heard anything that would make me trust my car at the local mechanics so any of the qld people out their no of a good workshop in toowomba that would be super.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
