What Is My R32 Gtr Doing?

Anyone have any idea on what the GTR is doing?

There is a few symptoms:

- exhaust temperature light is on(when it comes on it does the stuff below)

- on idle it struggles to stay at a stable rev and conks out

- when driving it feels like engine drops power for a split second (driving along it feels like tugging on the handbrake quickly) numerous time while the exhaust temperature light is on

Faulty sensor? But I didnt think the sensor does anything besides lighting up the dash light when the exhaust temp is too hot...

If I cant diagnose it I guess I'll have to leave it to the tuners to figure it out since I'm booked it for a dyno run touch tune etc anyways....

Its got a de-cat pipe in there though... it even did it with the standard cat which I had on for Vehicle Inspections for awhile - didnt drive it around too much when I had that on.

It only did it a few times ever before I put the standard exhaust/cat back on for vehicle inspection(roadworthy) and then it seems to be more frequent ever since, even after I put the aftermarket more high flowing exhaust on with the de-cat pipe.

coilpacks and spark plug has been changed, injectors no...

Why would it only happen here and there and only briefly though when the exhaust temperature light is on?

Seems to be more worst today as I took it for a drive, come home park it up, went elsewhere in another car for about half hour come back turn it on and it started doing it nearly straight away and conked out, drove it down to the car wash and it conked out as I left it to idle and hose the car down, turn it on drove it home(its only a 1 minute drive per way), went into my driveway and turn it off as the engine was struggling to have a stable idle - then needed to move the car about 15 minutes late so turned it on and it was still doing it doesnt stay stable and wants to conk out unless I keep my foot down on the accelerator so the rev doesnt drop down enough to conk out.

check which light you are seeing and check what it means in the service manual before guessing the cause

there are two lights that come to mind

one is the ENGINE CHECK LIGHT or orange ENGINE logo

the other is the EXHAUST OVER TEMP or RED CAT LIGHT

which one are you getting and check what it says in the service manual

ie no point guessing AFM's coilpacks etc if it's the RED CAT LIGHT as that's the CAT TEMP sensor warning

given you have a powerfc when the light comes on, use the hand controller and read what it is telling you

for an online demo and what you should be looking for check out

you want to goto ETC, SENSOR SW CHECK

and then with the online emulator, learn how to work out what is wrong

Ah the PFC hand controller - I totally forgotten about that, took it off for vehicle inspection.

I just hooked it up, turned it on and left it to idle and after awhile it started doing it again so I quickly jumped back into the car and on the hand controller "AF-1" was highlighted and dropped down to 0.00v...

because the 32 gtr only has a cat temp light, not a cat temp and engine check light :D it is PFC showing you an error, looks like youv'e found it already.

if you can't easily get your hands on another afm to try, swap the 2 around and see if the error now apears as AF2

Hope its just a really dirty AFM, which it was - and I've cleaned it out with some contact cleaner earlier. See how it goes tomorrow when I take it out to the tuners for a dyno run check up and tune.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
