Hi,

Having a few issues with my 1993 GTR32. The engine is fine and runs well but every now and then (mainly on the last cruise) acts weird and stuttery. Tonight on the way home from a booty call I heard what sounded like popping or bubbling from the engine. I mean you could hear it over the engine. I was thinking that it was the radiator but the temp was fine so drove home sedately.

Lifted the bonnet with the engine running and could clearly hear this popping/bubbling sound but it was coming from the fuel rail near No1 and No2 injectors. Pulled the Injector harness off each one and car slows idle but popping noise doesn't go away. I thought that if it was one of these injectors "missing" that it would go away. Too hard late at night to keep going at the rest of the injectors but I am very concerned that one is on the way out.

Car has been running fine and will even get up on the boost but has been stuttering every now and then and the boys on the cruise say that I was shooting flames when pushing it. I thought it was the Apexi PowerFC that had dropped the tune but maybe it is this popping fuel rail sound causing the stuttering. Fuel economy is about normal still and maybe its time for new fuel filter and sparks.

Anyway if anyone has any ideas, I am very handy with a spanner, so throw them out there and I will try to diagnose the issue when I have some more time tomorrow.

Thanks

Bart

the bubbling and popping noise is more often air bubbles in the coolant rail that runs along next to the fuel rail. it's most likely air in your cooling system, pocket of coolant are boiling because of it, hence the bubbling noises.

bleed the head via the bleed screw and see if that helps.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
