Hi Guys,

My r34 GTT when cold idles a little rough. Not very bad, but every few seconds it seems to miss.

When the car warms up it doesn't seem to do it anymore. 

I have also noticed the cars sort of misses when backing off the throttle while driving.

The car is stock other than full exhaust, pod filter and HKS BOV.

Anyone experienced this?

Cheers,

Dean

when you back off and you say it "misses" how do you figure that out? most of them back fire.... also when cars warming up and the normal idle revs are high, it may flutter alittle because i read on the forums here somewhere that its electronically alterd to rev at about 1500rpm when cold and then it brings its way down to normal idle (should be about 700ishrpm).

My idle used to jump around alittle and would sometimes stall at round abouts (very rarely). I cleaned the AFM, changed spark plugs and cleaned the throttle boddy. That got rid of most of the problems but i still noticed it wasn't a constant idle and would sometimes seem to miss. I didnt worry about it coz it didnt stall anymore.

Then i changed the 02 sensor and immediately found that the idle prob was gone completely, just by chance, now i also save about $15 in fuel/ week by putting a new (EL Falcon) 02 sensor for $70.

dont know if it would work for you but it did for me, so i figured for my car anyway that the idle changes were something to do with the car switching from running lean to rich because of the faulty original 02 sensor.

They shoul;d be changed every 40000km nissan recons, if you are getting anything less than 400km/taknk with reasonable driving conditions i would definately get new 02 sensor, i get 450km/tank with pod, turbo back, 10psi boost, fmic with the new 02 sensor, where as before i'd get between 250-350km/tank

no it's not plumbed back and i think the backfiring did seem to start after I installed the BOV.

The idle on cold is a little weird though. It's not when it's reaving high, it's when the revs drop to about 900 before the car is warm and then drops to about 700 and idles fine.

My fuel economy is quite good, i get about 500-550 km per tank.

Maybe I will look into changing the o2 sensor. I did notice though after last night when I installed my air fuel ratio gauge that it keeps jumping from lean to rich all the time. Don't know if it's a faulty connection. When I am accelerating it seems ok though.

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
