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

Where the TPS sensor is?

cheers matt for the thought, ive had both AFMs reconditioned and my Auto Elec checked the coil packs :)

im hoping its not a new ECU but if it is it will be a great weight off my mind lol

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
