hey i have a few problems with my r33

When ever i just drive along my automatic gear box just jumps around gears, i dont have any idea how to fix this, aswell it just stalls sometimes, i dont understand that either =\

and my speedo doesnt work it just get stuck then moves back up and then back down, just jumps around

when im ideling it almost stalls then revs back up and almost stalls again

The car is running rich you can smell unburnt fuel out the exhaust, im guessing i need to get it tuned or serviced?

cheers if you can help me much appricated

I think the speedo is the root of the problem, might need to look at replacing/fixing the speedo cable from the gearbox. I've never encounted a Nisssan auto box so I don't know exactly how they work, ECU might be a tad confused about the current speed and selecting the wrong gears

Id say a proper service would be first on the list...its running rich because something is wrong and the ecu is adding more fuel to compensate.. how long since you changed your air and fuel filter...how old are the spark plugs ...these are the basic things that contribute to poor performance.. this is why we service our cars...if all these things are fresh...then the problem is elsewhere...maybe a tired o2 or MAF sensor or something...but if your engine is hunting at idle like it is ,,theres a good chance your torque is all over the place therefor confusing your torque converter causing your gearbox to keep changing gears...

Give the car a good service...all filters, spark plugs and oil...pretty simple really....if problem persists, see a doctor

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
