Hey all,

Ive been having some problems with my GTR and Ive tried everything on the forums relating to the problem and its still occuring. I cant trust the car enough to drive it down the road in fear of having to get it toed home.

The problem consists of mainly No power, Cutting out, Not starting after cutting out.

The car has been at my Auto Elec for the last week and he has tested my Ignition module and CAS, (bench tested) also done a fuel pressure test on my fuel pump. All came back peachy. I also got my AFMs reconditioned a week ago.

My Auto Elec basically said to me he needs the car in the shop when it is completely dead and wont start again. He told me its not worth buying parts that 'could' cause the problem, for the obvious reason being money. I cant wait for that though as i depend on a car to get to work etc.

If anyone has had this problem, something similar or even knows of some1 that has had this problem please throw me a bone. im at the end of my ropes..... if i cant fix it ill be buying a commodore :)..... maybe not lol

cheers joel.

I had this problem with my 32 gtst, while driving it would cut in and out of boost, turn it self off. Had 3 different mechanics and auto elecs on it and still couldn't solve it. changed ecu, all sensors, fuel pump.

Then i took it for a drive with michael at turbo tune and he fiddled around with the tps sensor and it ended up being a faulty tps. We got one from jap land took ages put fixed the problem. I'd give that a go.

Im sure youve checked it but while its running, move all different parts of the loom, especially near teh cas, ignitor pack etc...a bit of vibration can pull wires in the wrong direction if they have a bad connection...so while its running move around the engine bay and lightly move the loom around...could find the problem.

Hi, had a similar problem when I bought my R32 GTR. Both AFMs and coils were causing the problem. Opened up each AFM and resoldered the 4 connections, then used silicone on each coil pack to make sure they weren't arcing. Oh yeah, get copper spark plugs and gap them to 0.8.

The AFMs were causing it to run like absolute crap with no power, cutting out, etc. The coils/plugs were just a slight misfire.

Cheers,

Matt

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
