hi all

Ive had my r33 gtst for about a year now

recently its developed a bit of a problem... when driving an you put the clutch in the revs drop right down to almost 0rpm nearly stalling(it has done on two occasions) and then rises back up to normal.

i am unsure as to what to do and would very much appreciate any advice

it has an FMIC, 3" turboback exhaust, dual stage boost controller (only running 8psi atm), r33 gtr fuel pump, BOV, pod filter, tein coilovers, upgraded coilpacks and other than that is pretty much stock. was serviced a couple of weeks ago and i have recently replaced the fuel filter.

cheers

I had that problem too, but it was because I had a bigger turbo, yours is standard so either as mentioned change bov back to standard or relocate air flow meter (afm) to another position and tune.

From what I know, it is occurring because air is going the wrong direction to the air flow meter ie the engine is sucking air and then when the bov releases, some of it is going back the other way or something like that.

I just changed my driving style. ie I used to put my foot down, reach max boost then clutch in and let the car roll.... instead just put ur foot down and then leave it in gear. it wont do it then.

hey mate,

i had a very similar problem to you - it was doing it intermittently so it was a headache to find the problem.. Anyway, the problem was a Pivot "Air Flow" Control gadget, so if you have anything aftermarket that screws around with air/fuel, maybe disconnect those to eliminate them from the equation...

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
