yesterday my mate took my car for a spin and about halfway through the drive i noticed the car was having a problem down low. Once i got home the car was hunting at idle. I than disconnected the battery for the night and also tested the coils this morning and pulled out my plugs which were very carboned up. I than cleaned the plugs and also did a compression test with ok results and than put it all back together.

I than started the car with no difference whats so ever. I also replaced my z32 afm and recaled my emu to standard. I should note i cleaned out my aat valve about 2 weeks ago and was running fine. I than started the car and noticed idle was slightly better but not by much at all. I than took it for a drive were the car seemed to have issues going over 2000rpm. i than got it home and put some octane boost clean in the vehicle as we have had alot of water around and there has been rumours about water getting into fuel. I than let the car idle for about 30 minutes and found that the car became more responsive untill i went to go for a drive and found it would not accelerate at all. I managed to get it home and left the car sit for about an hour Now it wont even start it will fire up but than die. Any help for be very grateful.Thanks

I reinstalled the z32 afm and the car is running again but still very rough. It also seems to chewing the fuel as well i have a done a vac test around the engine bay and it doesnot affect it at all. I really hoping it something easy but im dreading it the engine

you only just put a bigger turbo, etc on didn't you? have you had a tune done yet? if not then it is probably running rich as anything and fouling up the plugs, and since you are running an emanage the ecu is probably still seeing excess airflow and backing the timing right off.

have you changed the injectors at all (or even just had them out)? may be that one isn't seated properly. could also possibly be a vaccum leak.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
