Hey guys,

I haven't driven my R33 gtst for about a month and it's just been sitting in my garage,

The perol was dangerously low so I topped it upwith $20 which got about 1/4 of a tank.

I went for a drive today (just before) and it's running REALLY rough!

It is really lumpy and when I accelerate there is hardly any power and it feels like it is gonig to cut out.

(I thought at first it was the car about to die due to no petrol but still have the problem after I filled up)

When it's idling it has the same issue, for eg) the REVS go up and down between 800-500rpm.

Just wondering what I should check for as I'm lost as to what it could be :P

Thanks in advance

Couple of questions for u.

Is the oil milky??

does ur coolent look like it has a slight oil patten going though it??

if u take off the centre cover were ur coil packs sit, and look at them while the engine is running at night time can u see sparks jump or it look like a pretty christmas tree??

the petrol u got wasnt from a "no Name" petrol station was it??

i only ask these questions because i had a very simular issue with mine about a year ago. i hadnt driven it for about 2 month started her up and felt like a truck that was 50years old..but i kept on driving it for a few weeks then my head gaskit went. once that was fixed she was fine..

yeah could be a number of things

but i would personally check the most obvious things like spark plugs...make sure they arent rusty... then check the coil by seeing if there is spark at all leads..

check if fuel filter is blocked, sometimes the symptoms of blockages cause irregular idling and drives like shit.

by the way does it rev past a certain limit??? does it cut out?

if it doesnt then it may be in limp mode.....

try reseting the ECU

hey buddy as everyone said it could be a number of things the first thing to do is figger out what type of a miss it is it can only be fuel ignition or mechanical and may be isolated to one cylinder or spead over all.....

firstly if you can compession test each cylinder if all good its not mechanical eg: head gasket or burnt valve

next see if the miss is isolated to any cylinders by briefly disconecting the injector plugs one at a time if you disconect a injector plug and the idle dosn't drop thats your dead cylinder if the miss is located to one or two cylinders its more likly to be a ignition miss plugs coils ignitor ect

if the miss is spread accross all cylinders then its more likly to be a fuel problem so start by checking pressure flow and fuel condision if all this meets specs then it may be a sensor usualy the air flow or coolant temp have this effect

sounds to me like a fuel poblem like water in fuel take your fuel filter off keeping your finger over the bottom fitting so it stays full of fuel then empty it into a clear glass and blow throw the filter in the reverse direction of fuel flow into the glass if theres any water rust or dirt its no good

i hope this helps its only a rough gide but once you figger what type of a miss it is you will have a much easyer time finding the cause CHEERS

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
