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 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!!!!

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

      And one last super random thought, I remember when SAUNSW had a dinner with Alan Heaphy, and another with Fred Gibson there was talk of the R32 GTR cast alloy uprights failing in racing, and one of the things Fred did when they had to add weight to the vehicle was taken the failing alloy uprights, and have them made of steel. Does anyone remember back to 1990/1991/1992 and WHAT was failing in the front hubs/uprights?

      If you truly want to know how the original failed though, was it a factory defect possibly etc, send it off for investigation. Would probably cost a shit tonne.   The ones that you need to win lotto for, unless you have a good reason for that part to be bolt on, I'd probably roll with getting a few small stitch welds carefully put in place as an extra safety factor once everything is all torqued up tight

      Are you sure? Because I wouldn't necessarily be. Do we even know the material they've made the new uprights from?   Looking at the fractures in the earlier pics, it does to me look like both a twisting, and levering upward action doing the damage, so you're hoping for both compression, and tension. Depending on the bolts, they can stretch (even high grade bolts will) and now you're hoping for the threads themself not to stretch, as if they do, bye bye mating surfaces holding together, hello bolts now going into shear.

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.
