Hi All,

Ive had a bit of weird issue lately with my rb25 in my stagea. Ill be driving along randomly not under much load or anything and all of a sudden everything cuts out/goes real jerky like its running out of fuel or something. It tends to recover then be fine..... How ever over the past two days i actually had it completely turn off and i clutch in then clutch out and it restarts itself.

Today it cut out completely and didnt want to restart. Then it did after a minute or so.

Plugged in ecutalk and im getting MAF fault codes and CAS fault codes.

So im guessing i should replace these?

Ive seen different cas's on different rbs, what to i need to get?

Sam with afm how do i know what will work with my car?

Cheers,

Chris

I'd be checking your fuel system:

pump - is it an original? is it working OK

earth to pump

voltage at pump

FPR

fuel filter

before I started on anything else.

maybe even get a mechanic to test the fuel pressure? takes all of 5 minutes to do, easy as.

before you go into solution mode

whats changed recently?

when did it last not behave like this?

it would be odd for all of a sudden for the CAS and AFM to fail instantly at the same time

It has an after market fuel pump and it's not that old neither is fuel filter.

It's been on and off for a bit didn't change anything on the car and notice it coming on but it's just got worse overtime....

I just finished work (dj) and before I left the carpark I cleared the fault codes with my laptop. As it was showing codes 11 (can shart position sensor and code 12 (mass air flow meter) in ecu talk diagnostic. Had not one issue on the way home. Wonder if this will be the end of my hiccup?

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
