hi people, i know some will tell me to search and stuff and ive been searching for a while and had no luck but there is so many threads

Anyway i have a r33 series 1 stock, beside fmic, pod, 3 inch cat back, stock boost.. which ive been having a few problems with.

The car first started playing up a while ago and havent had time to source out the problem until now.

The car used to boost fine all day every day until one day i gave it a bit and it hesitated and than all of a sudden pulled through to redline. Was like this for a while until all of a sudden was driving it and i couldn't come onto boost at all and the car started splattering around 3 grand and couldn't get any higher revs or see boost at all.

Anyway it only plays up when its warm. will drive and boost fine when its cold thou. My brother had the same problem on his series 2 engine and it was the coils.

I have replaced the coils with second hand ones that were working fine and now i can boost the car again til around 4 - 4.5 grand and it splatters and pulls to redline once again.

I than thought of plugs so i went to the local shop and got a set of bcpr6es-11's after i searched on here about plugs. I put them in without gapping em down because im still running stock boost but didn't help.

The plugs that were in it were the hks s40i ones that i searched for and they are a heat rating of 8 while the new ones i put in arn't, could this be a problem.

Has anyone got any ideas?? Any ideas or help will be appreciated

Next will be, AFM im guessing but i dont know heaps about the lines??

Thanks

check the AFM. can u try and isolate which cynlinder if u rev in the garage or does it only hesitate in gear and underload? things that i did, change or swap afm with your brother (isolate problem), change ignitor with S1, check coils, check air flow meter and solder connnections.

it went back 2day to what it was doing b4 at 3000rpm and is only under load.

the tune hasn't been checked but does smell fuely sometimes on idle. and wanna elinimate the hesitation b4 it goes onto a dyno. i pulled the plugs off the coils while running and each time idle changed so im assuming coils are fine, and the cars runs on 6 cylinders!

will get some air flow meter spray and give it a clean and that k&n stuff for the pod and will get a new fuel filter while im at it as i haven't done that in a while.

any way to test the igniter without swapping one over ??

should i try reset my comp to see if that helps ??

hmmmm, well its not coil packs, because once they start going they arnt going to catch up at higher revs,

changed spark plugs,

what boost are you running? i know you said stock, but where are you reading this from? if your boost is spiking up a bit, then there is every chance it could be R&R, because it smells fuely aswell, that also makes me believe this,

your getting enough fuel, so its not that, your spark will be fine, igniter, well normally when a igniter goes it drops cylinders so it wont be that, wont be your ecu either,

might be worth testing the o2 sensor, but im sticking with R&R specially with you saying it hesitates,

way to fix, get a FCD or a aftermarket ecu

autometre boost gauge lets me know. I just checked out my old coils and couldnt see any cracks but they had like a blue burn type mark on most of them, il have to pull the other ones out and go over them again to make sure.

sorry if i have confused you but when i put the other coils in it only hesitated for a second at 4-4.5 but now it does it again around 3000rpm it just splatters and cant see boost....

  • 2 weeks later...

this is really frustrating me now, i have a afm lined up just gotta purchase it but unsure if it actually ok.

cars normal when cold, but once warm just dont go anywhere (no boost) idles perfect and everything else is fine. happens round 2500- 3000rpm. can the afm play up like this only once warm? car will go on to dyno to search for the fault (fuel related) if afm cant fix and there arnt any other opinions.

but does anyone else have any more ideas, fuel pump wouldnt do like this surely?

    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number.
