when i go to accelerate from either a standing start or between gears the car hesitates, goes lean and kind of sputters a bit then goes back to normal. if i accelerate SLOWLY it doesnt do it, and when i accelerate HARD it doesnt do it, im not sure what it is. i tried checking for leaks in the vac/cooler system with no luck.

i took a vid to see if it would help identify the problem. the gauge on the left is the wideband and you can see the pressure/vac/accelerator position on the gauge on the right.. turn up your volume so you can hear what the car is doing.

well unless he has wired the wideband backwards or some crap, it's definately going lean...

It is a tough one! Maybe there's a small block in one of the injectors? Or the pump isn't getting enough voltage or something? Other then that... I was thinking a stuck throttle body but that wouldn't lean it out...

sorry, shouldve given a run down on the car

its got a vipec ecu, it does it under any load, i tried changing the tune around (the vipec has a 1-100 range) i went from 42 in the cells up to 60 and it didnt change much, im pretty sure its a mechanical issue.

My mistake...I didnt see the AFR ratio thing on the left...Definately sounds like some kind of fuel issue. Highly doubt its ignition ( although I could be wrong )....Has anything been done to the car recently ..like prior to this problem occuring ?...Maybe a vacuum line got knocked loose

Not sure about the vipec ecu but I had a similar problem on my VH41de safari running a link ecu, it turned out to be an acceleration enrichment issue.

i think you might be on to something, ill have a play around with the accel enrichment tables and see where it gets me.

this car has not been tuned yet has it?

not properly, i had it on a dyno after the engine was rebuilt by the engine builder but the new injectors and plenum havent been tuned in properly. i got it running pretty well using the auto tune and the m5, but this problem just started randomly though.

the accel enrichment didnt work. it didnt change at all. i think its something mechanical rather than the tune.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah 路 Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline 路 Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz 路 Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
