Hi all,

My car has been rather idle lately as I've been overseas on a few extended work trips. I started my car last in May, and while it seemed to be running a bit rich, things seemed fine for a casual drive (except the battery was low on charge) and I did ~20 min run to the shops after checking all fluids etc.

I have it booked in for a general service and tune (car has ~115K on the clock, 5k but 1 year since last service, 10k since new plugs) so I decided to start it up tonight - surprise surprise, it needed a jump (battery still under warranty so no major drama there if it's toast). However, after idling for ~5 minutes, I decided to back it out - as soon as I went over 2000rpm in reverse, it started to surge/stall at a frequency of around one surge per second. The revs were bouncing between 800 and 2400rpm and the car generally sounded awful - even when putting back in neutral the idle was rubbish. So I turned it off and rolled it back in the shed.

I have a PowerFC, and when I had a quick look the Injector duty seemed too be bouncing from 0->10% and the timing (which had been sitting on 24deg at idle when cold) was seemingly between 10->35deg.

Can anyone please offer advice on where to start diagnosing this? I am hesitant to drive it to the workshop in this condition as it's a good 30 minute drive to get there...

Any and all help appreciated!

Thanks and cheers

This is just a guess, but AFM?

I guess that could be reasonable, seeing as the one I have is from a Z32 and may be older than the car... is this likely to be dangerous to the car for a short drive? Temps will probably be around zero when I'm driving so I guess I shouldn't be at too much risk of overheating :blink:

Take it 100M down the road and back to see what it's like. If it is the AFM i think it will have trouble reving past 2000-3000rpm?

Don't blame me if you have to push it back home.

Have a look at this aswell.

Also remember it could be something else.

Thanks to all the suggestions - I was confident it wasn't bad fuel as I've not seen that allow the car to run OK at higher revs when running like crap at idle.

Got it into the shop today, looks like the issue was mainly a damaged O2 sensor plug + wire. Running much better now, just a few other minor things to address before I can bring her home!

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
