hey guys, i have a r32 gtr which has been running a bit weird latetly.

at first it was occasionally about once a week, but now its getting more common, like at least everytime i drive it.

cold mornings its fine, once it starts warming up is when the problem occurs.

i first noticed it when i parked my car, let the turbo timer do its thing then just as i was walking away it started spluttering at idle, did that for 5 seconds then regained normal idle. it also did this while waiting at a set of traffice lights (even while i was rolling upto them) blip the throttle a few times and it sometimes goes back to normal idle.

why is it doin this?? its VERY annoying, ive even swapped the idle position sensor and still had the same problem.

also say im just driving down the road, it will even splutter (like its out of fuel?) nd have no response on throttle. then as im trying to accelerate in gear (while still doin speed limit, slowly gettin slower) it sounds like it misfires. sometimes this goes on for 5 mins and i cant even drive it, and other times its over in 10 seconds? then back to prefectly normal.

even if you hold your foot in the same spot on the accelerator pedal, it will cut out, accelerate, cut out etc..

i seriously have no idea whats wrong with it.. fuel pump? something to do with idle control? but that wont help the problem while at speed? it could be 2 different problems.

if anyone could help that would be GREATLY appreciated

Cheers.

Also check the cam angle sensor, you can just unbolt it and have a look. Mine had broken teeth causing this, replaced with $100 second hand CAS and worked fine.

^ When I changed the turbos it started fine, misfired after 20 mins, started feeling like you were turning the ignition on/off etc. I checked afm's, cleaned injectors, filter, ignition module, etc. Replaced the CAS with a mates, still no go, changed back to mine, worked fine. Turned out the plug for the CAS just needed a wiggle/twist. Dunno if your prob is the same but,

Coils: I'd unplug one coil to see if it sounds different/makes it worse. Check each coil, takes but a few mins.

AFM: I'd simply get AFM cleaner and clean it anyways, if it's the stock one. Few bucks, worth it.

CAS: Wiggle the plug/Unplug and reseat. Borrow one from a friend before spending money on replacement.

Fuel Filter: Cheap, but nasty to replace if you have big hands.

Plugs: How old?

cheers guys, its hard to diagnose cos its not always happening, just sometimes desides to do it.

wiggled/unplugged the CAS - same

its not the coils either, checked them

plugs are probly due for a change, but that would make it run shit all the time? or not?

but when i un-plugged the AFM it started to run shitty, exactly like the problem i explained above.. then after a few seconds it regains idle but wont rev over a few thousand revs, (not crisp anyway)

is there any sort of tests for AFM?? to see if they working correctly? or faulty?

thanks, will try to find an igniter and see how it goes.

but how do you know if the AFMs are dodgy? any way of telling? or just have to swap nd see?

just swapped the AFMs with another working pair from another GTR, seems to be working perfectly fine atm.

hopefully this is the problem! nothing worse than not knowing what the hell is wrong, hate guess work haha

need to find a set of AFMs now, or find out which one was faulty if not both.

thanks alot guys!

Cheers.

Id replace both. If you do try to buy a set of nismo ones, they are more expensive but have the same characteristics of a Z32 meter which is good if you make some more serious mods to the motor.

Yeh I was looking at some nismo ones, still not sure yet.. Either quick and cheaper fix with STD ones or upgrade to z32 or nismo and get it re tuned. I do wana upgrade the engine later down the track tho, but my pockets arnt deep enough at the moment hah

May go for the cheap fix first then upgrade a bit later on

Cheers mate

fair enough.. looks serious! haha

i just got HKS pods, lookin to change to the Apexi setup.. will get onto nismo ones soon!

but in the meantime will std AFMs from a Aus delivered GTR work on an imported GTR? i was just wondering if they are diff?? probs a stupid question but am just curious?

cheers

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
