Hey guys having some trouble with my 33 it wont idle at all when cold & seems to fuel up at around 4500-5000rpm then its fine for awhile then dose it again

ive read a few pages on here saying coils but i have new spitfire coils & its still doing it

i was thinking afm but i have no idea

any help would be greatly appreciated,

Here are a few specs on the car that might help you guys work it out

S1 R33 GTST

S2 RB25 DET, rb26 crank,forged rods & pistons ACL race bearing and gasket set, metal head gasket.

ported,polished & port matched head

Nismo N1 oil & water pumps.

splitfire coil packs

Turbo smart fuel pressure regulator

Front facing plenum

FMIC

stock rb25 turbo running 13psi

stock ecu

The combination of these 3, plus the different engine internals

There are a million and one threads about cars with stock ECU's and more boost running like crap, Rich and Retard etc etc.

Aftermarket ECU + Tune will = Engine running better

thats exactly why i asked my above question.

but if the car has been running for a year before any problems arrised then might be something else.

but then again he has only had the car for a month so the issues may have always been there

thanks guys, it was running fine all month till the past week now its running crap house as stated above, thanks for all your help

any ideas on a computer to run? i can get a emanage blue would that be a good idea or ? any suggestions would be awesome thanks

You will need a Z32 ecu (no Nistune for R33) - have a look at the Nistune site and read the nistune thread here. Or if you can afford it Link/Vipec . You don't mention it but maybe you already have a bigger (3in - 4in) exhaust but with an aftermarket ecu and exhaust you will be all set for a bigger turbo and injectors and 300+kw!

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
