ive got a new fuel pump on its way im hoping this is the fix. will install it when my hand heals up as a open burn and fuel dosnt mix to well. at the end of the day if i can fix the problem yourself you always feel that much better about youself. weres the fun in taking your car to a mechanic and saying fix this as you will learn nothing other than to rely on other people

Just a little update on my problem

Fuel filter got changed the other day and their was that much crap in it. I removed the fuel pump thinking their would be a bit of rusty crap in the tank after seeing the filter but as it turns their was a crap lot more than i thought to a point that only half the under side of the filter sock thing was able to let fuel through. So if all goes well when a new tank and the pump get put in i hope its going to be all sweet.

Hey man did you know what was wrong in the end.. i have the same problem in my r32 gtst also. ive changed my fuel pumps, and also the spark plugs. the coil packs are stock but i have checked for cracks and all.. any idea if it was the fuel filter?

thanks niran

Remap and coil packs. Guarantee this will fix it if you've replaced everything else.

hey bro, yer i changed coil packs still no good, even changed ecu's lol, it comes as the car warms up i was thinkin maybe i have a small solder crack with the joins on the air flow meter?

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!"

lol you said it man.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
