Had this issue for ages car use to breath like an absolute pig when i was at the lights or just stopping, the rev guage use to move up and down between 600 rmp and 1500rpm and if you took off when it was on a down travle it would stall. Today i changed my air flow meter amd she is as good as gold. A mate told me along time ago that the oil from your filter can some times stick to the wire in the sensor and cause this erratic Behavior . any way just thought id post this up for any one els out there with the problem

Clint, you could try cleaning your AFM too - there are a few tutorials in the DIY threads - and it could well turn out that that would have cured the problem. It's worth a try, and maybe if it works you can either sell one of them off or keep it as a spare in case anything worse occurs in the future. :P

Yeah fair call, a clean could of been alot easier and is still possible but i wanted to upgrade any way. I'm slowly replacing all stock parts with newer after market ones not for the perpose of making an animal of a car but more for the fact that i want a car that is tuned for every day use. Wether it be traffic driving long distance or giving it a hard time every now and then and not have it spit the dummy at me and all of a suddern im shocked that its died on me. I mean you'd have to be a fool if you think that a car thats 10/11 years old things arent gonna break.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
