I have just bought a 1990 R32 GTR and have had it for two weeks now but only got to drive it for one.

The problem occured when i was driving along at 100 in 5th and the car fuel surged. It was just after i had filled the car up with fuel so initially thought it could have been bad fuel.

I gave it a bit of a strapping to see if i could get it to surge again but no such luck. The car was boosting up fine but seemed to be lacking abit of power.

I pulled up at an intersection and the car died on me. I started it up and it was flooding up and running rough. It wouldn't rev over 3,000 and was detonating popping flames out the exhaust. I babied it home and got to work the next day trying to find a problem.

The car starts and idles fine for the 1st 10 to 20 sec then starts to run abit rough then you give it a few revs and it sounds like its hitting a governer at around 3,000 and runs extremely rough at idle.

I replaced the spark plugs as they were foweled real bad. Problem still occured.

I figured i should start with the basics as it was running so rich and flooding the car up so much it may have been a fuel pressure problem. I grapped a set of pliers and held the car at about 1,500 where it was running really bad and applied pressure with the pliers to the fuel hose feeding the motor. Bingo car instantly ran better and i could now rev it to 5.000 before i couldn't regulate the fuel enough.

I replaced the fuel reg and still problem occurs. Replaced the Map sensor and still no help. Unplugged the AFM individually and they work like they should. I have had the scan tool on it from work and its showing no codes but indicates that the fuel mixture is rich which i already know by how much black smoke the car is pumping out. The others mechanics at work have as much idea about the car as me. I have checked the 3 main causes that contribute to this kind of problem but am lost on what to do next.

If anyone has encounted a problem like this or might know why the car is getting so much fuel please help.

One last thing the car is completely standard.

generally a failing fuel pump should make it lean out, not run rich. and besides, all the fuel pump does is supply the fuel, the fuel pressure reg and injectors are what controls how much fuel makes it into the clyinders. my guess is that there is an issue with an injector or possibly even the fuel return line to the tank. i also wouldn't rule out the AFM just yet. it may be worth plugging in the scan tool when it is playing up and seeing what the voltage reading is. if it is drastically different between the 2 then one has an issue.

it may also be that you have an intake leak somewhere, since that will cause the car to run rich.

No Issues with the fuel return checked that already. When the scan tool was plugged in there was no real difference with voltage for the AFM's. Am looking for an air leak but no luck as yet. Might chuck in some air flow meters just to be on the safe side but doesn't sound like there going to be the problem.

Of all the things to go wrong. Blown off cooler pipe in front of LH wheel arch. Causing the AFM's to give a wrong signal. I dummied up an intake from the turbo's to the plennum cancelling out the cooler and car ran fine. Off with the front bar and fixed the problem. Glad its back and running fine.

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
