car is being weird atm guys.

sometimes it would just cut out when accelerating & when coming to a complete stop, it would die. id try to start it right away but it would just keep dying. if i give it some gas it would struggle to rev and just die as soon as i let go of the pedal.

if i leave it off for 5-10minutes then i can turn it on and it would be normal again.

when it first happened, i noticed my TPS was cracked cause of my strut brace hitting it, so i thought that was the issue so i changed the whole throttle body unit. but it still occurs.

i thought it was my fuel pump that was faulty so i bought a brand new walbro but it still happens.

any thoughts ??

checked the manual & no luck.

nothing in there about cutting out intermittently :blush:

tried resetting ecu & done ecu diagnostic test.

found one hose off the charcoal cannister that came apart but plugged back in and still happening intermittently :blink:

grr cars..

my CAS has a mitsubishi logo on it, is that meant to be?

i got one from a wrecker as i thought that was the problem initially..

i unplugged the afm plug, started the car & it idled sorta roughly and fluctuated so i guess it means the AFM is dirty..

strange this happens cause i tried it before and it worked fine..

anywho, im gonna clean the AFM.

any idea how to clean a rb20/25 afm??

do i rip the mesh off or something?

contact cleaner/carby cleaner is very similar

its just an organic solvent, usually containing some petroleum product, ethanol, methanol, ethyl acetate, acetone or isoproyl alchohol

dont use meth - it can 'melt' some plastics

if you have denatured alcohol that would work - or some original nail polish remover (non of this fancy non smell stuff as residues will remain behind)

Yes i know super cheap and repco have it but if you noticed i posted it late at night meaning they would be closed and only places open are woolies or petrol stations..

i ended up using degreaser, washed it & blow dry.

worked a treat.

update:

turned out to be the damn AFM.

the one i got from the wrecker to test it with was faulty as well thats why it didnt fix the problem.

what i did was opened up my afm, noticed the solder joints were sorta apart so i resoldered it back up & 3 days on without a single hiccup :happy:

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
