The engine light started flashing at me when I turned the key too on in my 32 gtst, wasn't like that last time I drove it. It stalls when I touch the accerator and struggles to start, I havnt driven since, only moved it from where it was parked, And holy shit it has no power to even move it, I did some research on how to check the ECU fault codes but didn't have any luck when doing so (i might possibly be retarded) im keen to get this sorted ASAP

Any help would be awesome as I'm ripping my hair out trying to figure this shit out myself >_<

I'll answer any questions as best I can...

Mods are:

Exhaust

Gtr FMI

Coil packs

Pod filter

r33 series 2 turbo and dump pipe

Running 10psi

Stock ECU, AFM etc

Its in limp home mode. Disconnect the afm and see if it runs better.

U need to try again to get the fault codes. They should tell u which sensor is farked

Where are u located?

Replaced the AFM, disconnected the battery for 10min, reconnected and still playing up, if I touch the throttle and gradually bring the revs up it doesn't misfire (much), but if I stomp the throttle it cuts out for a second then spits like a mofo, and shoots fuel out the exhaust.

I'm located on the gold coast..

dude i got the same problem with my stagea. ive been looking around on the net and i from what ive found so far, it could be AFM or the o2 sensor. im planning on replacing my o2 sensor tomorrow if i can find a shop that has one. im also on the gold coast so if i fix my problem, id be happy to help you with yours

Awesome :D, well ive ruled out the AFM itself (replaced with a new one) could still be the looming? And I replaced the o2 sensor about 6weeks ago with a second hand one from nizzpro, whether or not the o2 is gone again I'm not sure, Nizzpro stock brand new o2 sensors for $80 or second hand for $40. Let us know how you go, i just don't want to dump It into a mechanics hands just yet if its a small problem for them to charge me labour for unscrewing a couple things :/, could be a coil or igniter? Possibly an air leak? Under boost sucking air that doesn't go through the AFM? Or leaking air pressure? Really starting to niggle me haha

Another thing I noticed, after resetting the ECU, and simply turning the key to on (not starting the car) the engine light spazes out straight away so leaning more so towards an electrical issue..

hey mate i have an issue similar to this,

i have same car, car runs fine in neutral and revs to about 5K than mild backfire, it was in a dudes yard for ages but ran fine got it nearly home and it started loosing power really bad!

now it does not have any power when in gear to move a meter forward or a meter back. it just looses revs and stalls when clutch is released, umm its pretty stock just a pod filter,

i ran 10 liters of high octane with injector cleaning fluid and it has not helped i thought it was possibly clogged injectors this did not work, i need help aye im pretty shit with cars

any help would be great!!

Cheers man.:cheers:

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
