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

Wells just thought id let everyone know that i gave my AFM another clean! redid all the solder joints again. this time it seemed to actually work!

cars now running better than ever in some ways atleast :cheers:

With the afm back in its starting fine! Not sure if anyone saw my other thread but ive had troubles with the car backfiring over 5000rpm....afm fixed that. :)

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
