hi all,my r-33 is acting up and dont know why???

a little while back my battery died and while i was recharging it i drained the power out of my car by pressing on the brakes so it would reset the ecu.

put the fully charged battery back in and took it for a good drive and everything was running perfect.

yesterday i took it for a drive and i have noticed is that everytime i start the car its taking a while for it to kick over and when i got back i pulled up at my house put the clutch in and it almost stalled and i gave it a little rev and it started idle hunting and kept trying to stall.....any ideas? the last time it was idle hunting was when i had a bov but i took it off ages ago and the car is stock except for 3inch exhaust system.

the car is due for a service,needs new fluids,timing belt and spark plugs.

sounds like it would be your plugs mate

agreed plugs + possible shitty contact on your ecu....

shouldn't take long to crank... by the second yank on the starter should fire.... My plugs are shiz atm and she still fires within 1-2 seconds.

Check the contacts on the stuff under your parcel shelf from the boot.

Could just be the ecu re-learning shizness of the fuels in auz.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
