hay i just left home to day to get a oil filter so i could change my oil and 2min's in to driving the car just started to run like shit missing cylinders all over the place and there was a lot of traffic so i just kept on going got the part and headed home and i tried keeping the revs low and that didn't work so i kept the revs high but not stupid between 3g and 4g and the problem went away. but i think that the ecu could be dumping fuel in to the motor and i think that makes sense because why else would it run fine in high revs. also my fuel economy was shit in low and high rpm

so i think i know what the problem is and now how do i fix it. need help asap because im going down to be racing my car next week

my car is a nissan skyline r33 gtst s2 auto

i was shitting my self there was a cop like 2 cars back almost all the was home and im seating on 1st and 2nd omg very lucky

i just cleaned my AFM with some AFM cleaner it cost like $25 biggest rip off

the car still runs like shit

i have to go to work now will be back working on the car in 5hr

i have checked all of my cooler piping taken it all apart and put it back 2gether and it still runs bad

i now think that the amf is sending the wrong signal or the ecu is sending the wrong signal

does any body know how to check that amf 2 see if it is working without trying somebody else amf because i dont know any body with a skyline

also how to reset the ecu and could this fix the problem ??

and any other ideas for trouble shooting would be much appreciated

im 90% that it is the o2 sensor that is shitting it self so i think i will replace that

because it runs the same when it is plugged in and when it is un plugged

also if u see a skyline in WA that sounds like it is about to die it is me

and the cops in WA ant 2 bad because i haven been puled over even with all of the engine problems

if you keep guessing what the issue is like this then we might as well lock this topic and forget it.

Why ask for help when your not prepared to do what we say ?

Try another AFM. then move on from there!!!!

im 90% that it is the o2 sensor that is shitting it self so i think i will replace that

cocky's! Why does everyone think that the O2 sensor is the be all and end all of problems with the way an engine runs? If you have a dud plug, for example, the O2 sensor, plugged in or not, isn't going to make a scrap of difference to how the engine runs.

i did replace the o2 sensor and the car still ran the same

i have no idea why my car ran the same with the o2 sensor in and when it was out with (the old one)

and then i went back 2 the spark-plugs i pulled them all out again and the one 3ed from the front was pissing out some milky crap and so i checked the oil and the coolant to see if it was a head gasket all clear and no other spark-plugs had this problem so i swapped the shit spark plug out for a old one that i know works until i have a chance to go out and get a new set because i have had it with these platinum ones im going to copper plugs.

well any why the car runs real good with the shit spark plug out maybe even better probs because of the o2

o and by the way "Guilt-Toy" i dont know any body with a amf so how do i test it what go and buy one. not every body has $$$ to throw around

and "blind_elk" u were 100% on the money but the car does run good with a new o2 no stuttering when i am idling so not a complete wast of time

thx for the help everybody i will post pix of the dud plug some time 2day

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
