Hi guys, just wondering if I could get some advice on my R34 GTR. It's a 2001 RB26DETT with only 60k on it (weekend car), and is well maintained (eg., serviced every 6 months with Motul 300V).

Mods

- Garrett 2860-5 turbos (only went in a year ago)

- PWR 700cc injectors (only went in a year ago)

- Apexi PowerFC with EBC addon

- HKS adj cam gears

- HKS split and dump pipes

- HKS hi-power catback exhaust

- Apexi pod filters

- STOCK AFMS

It has stalled twice in the last 2 weeks. It happened when I started the car from a relatively warm start, and with the car stationary and clutch fully depressed the engine was really struggling to maintain idle revs, with the needle bouncing between 300-1200 rpm and the dash illumination going dimmer and brighter. It would then stall. When I restart the car, there's no problems. No problems at all with driving either.

Anyone have any idea what's going on? The only other thing that's wrong is that the boost gauge on the MFD is "stuck" around -0.01 boost.

Thanks very much.

Stock AFMs (same AFMs as the R32 GTR which max out at approx 300kw?) and -5 turbos.. are you sure they're not -7's?

As for stalling, could be many things.. a inlet manifold leak, loose intercooler hose, alternator issue.. any black smoke when it's stalling.. condition of plugs?

Hi, yes they are stock AFMs. Was planning to get Nismo ones, but they are still on order.

They are definitely -5s

The spark plugs should be good... just changed them about 6000 kms ago with the iridium NGK ones and properly gapped.

Hmmmm don't think there was black smoke. Kind of odd that it only happens occasionally and most times never have a problem - very stable idle, and the problem is also completely gone if I restart the engine.

Might have to get my mechanic to look at it. sometime in the future. Damn maintaining a turbo import is expensive :D

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
