hi guys..

so i picked up my new to me r32 gtst yesterday... very happy with it, even though not as tidy as i had hoped

driving through sydney... no worries.. has the little stall out problem like all rb's but no dramas otherwise.

get it on the freeway though... cruising back to newcastle at 110kms/h... it would cut out... exactly like it was running out of fuel. hitting the throttle wouldnt do anything but i could get two throttle pushes in before it would come good, and then it would do it again... and then it would come good for a while longer.

in the hour and 30 min it was on the freeway, it did it about 4 times.. temps and pressures are all ok, it happened in 5th gear, up a slight hill, but even on a descent... and just as it was coming up to atmospheric pressure.. not boosting or vacuum. aka, 0 on the stock boost guage.

the car is stock apart from a pod, 3" turbo back exhaust, and a hybrid fmic. thats seriously all it has.. no boost controller, no a/m bov.

i dont know much about the car yet and im not as familiar with the problems of an rb20 like i am with the rb25, but the service history is up to date, and from what the previous owner said, he has got any problems fixed up asap.

i have a few ideas as to what it could be.. afm, bov leaking, air leak somewhere, overfuelling due to fmic, coilpacks, plugs, earthing problem, ecu problem, or even battery problem.

but its late now and i cant be stuffed looking at it, so i figured id put it on here and check the responses, then have a look tomorrow.

cheers

yeh ill check that too, thanks.

the problem isnt soo much what it is... its the randomness that it does it.... if it did it every time it boosted.. or every 40* day, or when its raining or anything... as long as its consistant... but this is not, i drove it out to east maitland and back, bout an hour trip all up... didnt make a peep... same running conditions as freeway.

grrrrr.... i hate these intermittant problems!!

cheers

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
