Today I finished putting back all the bits after changing an exhaust manifold. Went for an initial test drive for about 10 minutes and everything was fine. Came back, left the car running and went to go to the bank, about 30 seconds into the trip I changed from 1st to 2nd manually (is auto) at about 4k revs when it sorta coughed then kept going. It kept on getting worse and was trying to stall, got about another 100m when it finally did. Tried to restart but was coughing and would stall again, tried to limp for a bit but no good. Switched it off and on again, same thing. Checked under the bonnet to make sure everything was still where it should be, reset the ECU then tried again, no good. Holding the throttle steady it still cuts and jumps up and down the tacho. Battery voltage 12.5volts, 3/4 tank of fuel, replaced fuel filter about 12k ago, replaced spark plugs about 1.5k.

The car is a 95 series 1 r33 gts25t auto.

Any help or suggestions will help, the car is stranded!

damaged / broken air filter meter perhaps? try borrowing someone else's working air filter from another r33. i think the r33's go into limp mode (wont rev above 2500) when the afm can't sense airflow properly. failing that could be the auto box is on the way out and it was just a conincidence that it occcured now? i'd try another afm first

hope this helps

It revs above 2500, don't really have anyone with an r33 that I could test it with (am in geelong). Thinking maybe fuel pump, or tps or something weird.

Will have another look at the afm plug and make sure its making a connection.

Thanks for the speedy reply.

Thanks for the tips but looking closely with a torch, it was one of the pipex coming off the intercooler that popped off. So glad it wasn't something serious, its bin a long day. I lost the GT badge I just bought :-( along with all the other mechanical troubles....

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
