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

    • Great interview on damper settings and coil selection by HPA https://www.facebook.com/HPAcademy/videos/30284693841175196/?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V&fs=e
    • Yeah, it was a pretty deep dig.
    • The values for HID colour are also defined ~ see https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2006L02732/latest/text  ~ goto section 3.9 onwards ....
    • So, if the headlights' cutoff behaviour (angles, heights, etc) are not as per 6.2.6.1.1 without automatic levelling, then you have to have to have automatic** levelling. Also, if the headlight does not have the required markings, then neither automatic nor manual adjusters are going to be acceptable. That's because the base headlight itself does not meet the minimum requirement (which is the marking). ** with the option of manual levelling, if the headlight otherwise meets the same requirements as for the automatic case AND can be set to the "base" alignment at the headlight itself. So that's an additional requirement for the manual case. So, provided that the marking is on the headlight and there is a local manual adjustment back to "base" on the headlight, then yes, you could argue that they are code compliant. But if you are missing any single one of these things, then they are not. And unlike certain other standards that I work with, there does not seem to be scope to prepare a "fitness for purpose" report. Well, I guess there actually is. You might engage an automotive engineer to write a report stating that the lights meet the performance requirements of the standard even if they are missing, for example, the markings.  
    • Vertical orientation   6.2.6.1.1. The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
