It's a CA, that in itself is a problem from the start :D

Dunno if any of you cats remembers the drama I had with my sil end of last year (and my numerous threats to burn it to the ground :) ) but there are some new developments in the story.

Turns out a mate of mine has had a dead ceffy engine just chillin at his for ages, so I was like wicked I've found a harmonic balancer to replace my seemingly fked one. Got him to make sure the one on there has the same set up as mine (with a V belt in the middle of 2 4pk belts), turns out it has the same balancer as my old 32 motor. Which is the same set up as EVERY other RB engine I've seen.

All of this leads me to belive some fking asshat has possibly whacked the wrong balancer on the front of my engine, thus the reason why it's wobbling all over the place.

Plan is now to chuck my old 32 motor's balancer on the cef motor currently in the car and see what happens. If I'm lucky it will spin true, and I'll go rip a fat skid. If I'm unlucky it will do as the one on there now and f**k around, in which case the vehicle is under threat of death by fire once again.

wish i could catch these idiots.

Ring up, sound keen, talk some shit, get details.

Use said details to organise a good old fashioned beat down Forward said details onto Police...

... then watch them try and defect your car for the mods listed in the ad :)

Just a heads up guys a scammer had pics of my 32GTR up on carsales wish i could catch these idiots.

Had it for sale on there a while ago they must have just copied the old add?

when you see a 32 GTR for 7k it always sounds to good to be true.....

theres a story of scams like this interstate, GU IV Patrols (usually around the 35k mark second hand) going for 8k. sucks balls

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
