I NEED HELP!!

I have a 1990 R32 GTS-T and something is wrong with it and I cant work it out...

I've only had the car for about a month now and it was running beautifully when I first got it but then all of a sudden a problem has developed with the boost...when I first got it boost would come on at about 4000rpm on full throttle, but now when it hits approx 10psi the car splutters violently and just bunny hops and does nothing but if I keep my foot down long enough then the boost finally kicks in. (For some reason everything works the way its meant to in first gear, sometimes...) Also if I just drive normally not making boost the car drives fine. and it is using an insane amount off fuel as i'm only getting about 200kms to a tank and it puffs black smoke out the exhaust when I try and hit boost.

Ever since this started happening I replaced several parts trying to fix it including;

- BOV

- FPR

- Coil packs

I was thinking of replacing the Wastegate next..

I've inspected all hoses and lines and they all seem fine, also inspected the spark plugs and are all good.

I'm stumped to what might be causing this problem...any ideas?? ermm.gif

P.S. The car has a Hypergear ATR43 turbo and is tuned to 15psi

Try lowering your spark plug gap if it already isnt , should be running bcpr7es at 0.8, also did this probelm start out of nowhere or wasnt when turbo got put on at and boosted to 15psi dont know if r32 ecus are like r33 stock ones and hit r and r when boosting over 10-11 and if all this isnt the problem maybe check your coil pack harness and regards to fuel if it isnt tuned with a ecu or if it is tuned then its a poor tune to be getting economy like that.

We checked the gap when we inspected the plugs, its at that...and technically speaking it only started once I took it to an aircon place to get a hose replaced for the aircon, then once i got it back it started doing this. I took it back to them complained and asked what they took off to do the job and check them in particular and it all seemed fine...the harness as brand new, no cracks or splits...and i have a nistune ecu installed, i was getting close to 600kms to a tanks when i first got it and no there are no leaks, i have replaced the fuel filter and am running a Bosch 040 fuel pump

Check the voltage on the AFM when you are boosting. If it exceeds 4.9V you may be hitting factory boost cut

...edit.... and when I say boost cut I mean ignition cut relative to boost/air flow etc

I will check that when I get a chance next

As well this car was in with you guys not too long before I purchased it, and reading through the receipts it had some kind of misfiring issue. Is it possible this issue could have arisen again?

If it's idling high, check for vacuum leaks after the throttle body, INCLUSIVE OF THE AAC/IAC. It might be faulty/thrown out. Only way idle can go up is for there to be more air getting in, so if the throttle plate is still closing then you have a leak somewhere behind that.

EDIT: could also potentially explain the lag with boost and then R&R - if boost is leaking out of the manifold after the throttle body, then for the manifold pressure to get to 10psi there would be MUCH more airflow through the AFM to overcome the leak.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
