Hey,

I've searched the forum looking and hopping to find a cure for what ever is wrong with my car, I've done some things people have listed and so far nothing... This is my pickle...

I pas going to put this down as bad fuel but I've had about a tank and half since then from another BP...

When I'm driving, foot on the peddle just coasting along, and all of a sudden-out-of-the-blue, rev's drop (a lot) , no power, and a little bit of a cough, splutter and a small fit. If I try to plant it it just makes it worse and it keeps on coughing. If I put the clutch in the rev's drop that much it almost stalls. If I put the clutch in and give it a small kick on the go-fast-foot-rest, he's all good.

Ever since this started happening which was about a week ago it feels like it doesn't have the same pull. (I don't know if I've gotten used to the boost or what...)

I've just changed the fuel filter and that was a bitch... I've added a small bit of injector cleaner too and the problem is still there. But I will admit the pulling sensation does seem a bit better.

So here's the question.... Any I dears ?

The more I dears the better,

Thanks in advance

Justin.

OK, I don't know what you mean when you are refering to a " cas " if your trying to say my car has shot its self, then yeah... As for the tacho needle, yeah it drops.

On my way to get some plugs it happened all over again. I just finished changing the plugs and took it for a boot. When I was giving it stick there was a heap load of miss firing going on. And as I was changing the plugs I noticed the air pods are all dirty, like black, dirty. Turns out for some reason oil is coming out from one of air pods...

Not healthy, I know...

I'm not to sure if its all the blow by / blow back gas or maybe one of my turbos have gone kapoot... My old man said something about the PCV Valve might be shot and causing the oil business...

Just what I always wanted... A whole new kettle of stupid fish.

Anymore I dears?

Had the same symptoms on my 33 gts-t, was the cas.. I took it apart afterwards and it turned out that a piece of metal had shimmed off inside and was randomly blocking the led inside of it.

Another thing to check that causes similar symptoms would be your air flow meters. Over time the solder joints on the inside of it go brittle and snap, causing random voltage fluctuations inside the ecu causing you to run rich and misfire under load.

If you're blowing dirty amounts of black smoke (fuel) then I'd be looking at the afm's, if it's just a little random black smoke then I'd say the cas (Retarded ignition as opposed to no ignition at all :P

Wouldn't be overly worried about the oil coming out of one of your pods, I'd say it's actually venting somewhere, perhaps as your father said the PCV valve then getting sucked back in through the pods, causing it to build up on the outside of the filter. Sit down one weekend with about 10 cans of that nice $2 degreaser you get and clean out the engine bay, as it'll have shitloads of dirt & grime built up, and once it's clean you'll be able to spot oil leaks alot easier :)

OK... Check this shit out.

The other weekend I took off the air filters and the air mass meters to give them a clean. WhileI was doing it I noticed in the front turbo pipping a nice little puddle of oil right in front of the turbo housing. I cleaned up as much as I could and cleaned the air mass meters with loads of break cleaner, threw them back in a and went for a spin. It all seemed good untill after a 10 mins or so and the same problem came back.

My thought is... Because all the oil is (possible) leaking out the turbo, going through the cooler and to the plennum / bov's and when it creats boost and back off the bov's let it out (but not all the bost), and so come of the pressure is kept inside the plumbing forcing back and blowing / spraying the air mass meeters with oil and and giving it a faulty reading and there fore giving me the shits. (ya dig?)

I left my car with a mechanic mate of mine for the week and let them play arround with it. They told me exactually what I told them... I appriceate it, but they are like titts on a bull...

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
