Hey guys, recently my r33 gtst series 2 has started to stuggle a lil on cold starts. Revs fluctuate a bit but it sorts out and idols fine then all is good :)

Ive also noticed that the last week or so ive been getting exhaust soot on my rear bar? im not sure if this is all related or what

Tonight i went to go out, car started stuggled a lil like it has been but was then fine, drove around the cauldersack before the car started to jolt and stall! :down:

Now when i try to start it the engine cranks over revs to about 1100rpm then cuts out. Sometimes it will rev a bit /\/\/\/ but then cut out still?

Im not sure what the problem is :) tried searching but couldnt find a similar problem.

Please help guys

no need to reply! got it running this morning, somethings up with the AFM. About 6 weeks ago i re did the dry solder joints and its been running fine ever since.

This morning i disconneceted it and the car started fine first go :down: pluged it back it and now its working??? not sure if it just wasnt plugged in properly at first or not?

i imagine if that was the case it still woulda started though(considering it started when i took it out!!!) Will just have to keep an eye on it.

Cheers

Ok so car is not good as i thought! wont go, starts drives a bit and revs are just all over the show.

I redid al the solder joints about 6weeks ago? ive just taken it out and im looking at it atm and it looks fine. all the joints are nice as!

what else could it be? spark plugs? :s sorry im a newbie

Cars now starting without the AFM in it...but try driving and it jolts when u get anywhere near 2000rpm

do others agree with b1 mr fanny?

i need to get some contact cleaner 2moro. The car actually gets to about 2500 before it starts to 'misfire' not sure wat word to use for it. So is that how it works? when the afm isnt in the car can start but not rev over X? it starts fine without the afm everytime. starts with the afm just struggles more but in both cases u cant rev over 2500

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
