Help Needed With Diagnosing A Problem


Recommended Posts

Hi, ive had this problem on my car for the last 3 months and havent driven it because of this.... its a new engine and when i first dropped it in ( 4 months ago) it used to have alot of umfff even if i tapped the pedal in 4th gear u used to feel it.. now.. it just sits there.. if i put my foot down it goes alrite to about 4 and then just sits at 4k rpm and just feels liek it wants to due but if i do half throttle it will rev higher.. it just feels liek its back burning like sputtering.. btw its a rb25 r33 i have changed afm, new coilpacks, new spark plugs, new fuel pump, new ignitor module, new coilpack loom and thats about it.. i couldnt think ov it being anything else. need help please

did it start doing these things before or after changing these things? Im assuming you have a S1 if you replaced the external ign. module, did u get the right AFM (S1 & 2 are diff). Whats the gap on your plugs etc.

lol yep, my mate has a s1 also so i just swapped every part in the fuel delivery system. except for the fuel filter which i'm swapping over tonight and the o2 sensor which i will also do tonight. apart from that im all out of ideas and beginning to think its the engine.. um i duno what gap the plugs are.. i just wound them down. and also thinking mayb a blocked cat.. just eliminating things one by one

um its got a highflow turbo, with a r32 stock actuator so 10psi boost, split dump pipe + 3.5 inch exhasut, cooler pod filter, and thats about it, it used 2 pull reall reall hard but now i cnt even get it over 4k rpm under full load.. the o2 sensor is farked i think also.. coz the wires are liek electrical taped 2gether so i'll see if thats the problem later tonight

the stock turbo at 10 psi on an RB25 makes it hit r&r.

a highflow turbo with the same boost will be even worse.

The sparkies might help but in reality, some sort of tuning is required.

but it used to run beautifully and then one day something happened and its doing this now.. mayb not 10psi but 7psi..because it could be a r33 actuator i'm pretty sure it is because it would hit r & r..

hey there a mate of mine had a similar problem the air intake pipe was too soft and sucked in or collapsed under boost, replaced hose between afm & turbo hasn't had a problem since hope this helps.

had similar issues with my 32, rb26det, when we changed the turbo to a garrett 3582 external it was out flowing the stock afm and would start spluttering as the injectors went full duty. it would be okay till about 3500 4000 rpm then would run like dogs balls.

we lenghthened the intake pipe from turbo to afm, changed the afm to a z32 and had a fitting for the recirc valve plumbed to it facing directly back into the impeler on the turbo and solved the issue.

you should at least get on a rolling road and get it tuned properly. it was worth it in my case anyway.

i jsut took the car for a quick spin now... i noticed a few other problems..

after a few minutes of driving the the hicas starts playing up and goes on and off repeatedly and the steering is fkt.. also car wont rev above 2k and it seems liek all power it lost and then just dies off by itself.... oh and also the lights start flickering and the rev gauge goes up and down and flickers this is just before the car turns off.

sounds like a bucket of shit. lol..

so all this started happening after the new engine went in?

go back to where you got the engine put in.

if you put it in yourself, it is now time to go to a place that knows skylines.

some things are better left to the experts.

I would try dropping the cat, check fuel flow/pressure, easiest way is to stick it on a dyno, but to make the most of your setup, your eventually going to really need to get same management. Is it running 10 or 7 psi, it makes a big difference to diagnosing the problem. When it seems to stop, does the boost gauge (im assuming you have one) drop into vacuum, or stay in boost.

or you could try RE Customs in westall/springy..

A strange idea for something to check as everything is turning on and off, is your alternator in good condition? I only say that as i have experienced similar probs in cars before which turned out to be that!.. Just a thought seeings engines have been changed etc..

    • I am going to chime in here and say that is very bad advice for a built motor, making decent power of 400kW+ Especially if the rings have been gapped on the looser side. The more power you make the heavier you need your oil to be to be able to maintain that suspension between the moving parts, if not you'll have journals and bearings making love and grenade a motor. Remember that all moving parts inside the motor aren't ball bearing and are journal bearings and require oil to separate the surfaces from contacting.
    • Yeah I noticed this just now. No doubt she will be running smoother next start😂🤣😂
    • ENR34 manual transmission transfer cases are 33100-23U00 which is shared with all of the R32/R33 GT-Rs and GTS-4s. And the C34 Stagea. Do not bother with automatics, that is a huge effort to swap and the car will be worse for it. And an automatic transfer case does not have the right housing for the shifter which comes out the back of the transmission and goes through the transfer case. I already posted my response on reddit but if you didn't see it there here it is: You have almost certainly damaged the transfer case, the only question is how badly. Nobody can tell you how bad without more information. If you have a giant hole in the transfer case pissing out all the transfer case fluid then you need a new one. If it's not that bad then the only question is whether you burned up the clutches. Drain the transfer case oil and inspect for metal on the drain plug magnet. Small black filings are normal. Big chunks of metal or a ton of black fuzzies not so much. Fluid should be nice and red. Any other color isn't great. If the color is reasonably red and there's not a bunch of clutch material discoloring it or anything like that you probably got away with insubstantial excess wear not worth trying to fix. If you have to rebuild or replace the transfer case keep in mind you have to pull the transmission to get it off.
    • As promised………… the first start. Rough and a few bugs to work out. Still she lives att.1cnTUvrWxiOZUFbg0S43m1VFUdDhxGBq3UU53bvtkww.mp4
    • Can I suggest a 15W50 oil is too heavy. Its a brand new engine - you should be able to run something like a 10W30. Shove some steel wool into your catch can  - more technically "oil/air separator" - so that the oil vapour has something to condense on.
