Help me please. I have a R33 and for a while i was having trouble with it spluttering and idleing bad mainly after putting it under load. So i changed the coil packs that made no difference so i decided to change the fuel filter. When i took the filter off i tipped the fuel out and it was filthy and brown. So i put a bottle on the line and turned the reds on to see what it was like coming from the tank and it was clean. After changing the fuel filter and cleaning the AFM the car ran fine untill today. I boosted it up it made a pop when i backed off it started to splutter and idle bad when trying to drive it it just wanted to come on to boost and kept fluttering ( i have a bov atmosphere/plumbback) i pulled over to check it then everything went back to normal its now driving fine again and boosting smoothly.

The car is pretty much stock apart from exhaust, FMIC and BOV

Any ideas???

Hmmm... When you said pop that definately sounded like a intercooler hose coming off. Maybe you popped another vacuum hose somewhere. Do you hear a whistling or sucking?

Black smoke when it happened?

Car is perfectly fine now?

i checked all the vacume lines and intercooler pipes and double checked they were tight everything was fine.

There was no sucking or whistling noises or anything and it did blow a heap of black smoke once before when i was trying to keep the revs up and i could smell petrol. This was before i did the coil packs and fuel filter.

Its not fine i thought it was untill yesterday. it sometimes hunts for idle and ive noticed the thing that brings it on is when its been bought under light boost after the turbo flutters the car wants to stall then hunts a bit it dosnt do it all the time. Could it be the BOV?

Cheers

if the bov is venting to atmosphere thats more than likely your problem, the way they work means that the car is getting unmetered air (air not measured by the afm) and therefore idles and runs poorly, needs a retune to fix it. if it plumbs back then you have a vacuum leak somewhere

Best bet to find such a crack would be to soap the piping or hosing to see a leak. Do you run a tee or boost cont with a aftermarket gauge? If so u should notice the pai dropping once u reach max psi.

Other option could be fuel pump shat itself, if it smells like fuel afterward

This wert work. Under vacuum you aren't going to get bubbles. He needs to pressurise the intake then soak the stuff.

Failing fuel pump will make the car hard to start and will cause it to pop on boost and potentially even in low medium load without boost.

Vacuum in the manifold. the pipes have a small amount of pressure in them

Lastnight I took the BOV of and replaced it with the gfb stealth as i noticed the one that was on it was open 100% on both sides. I have the gfb one running 100% plumback.

Anyways took the car for a drive gave it heaps and it drove fine held boost and did everything it should.

Coming home from work this arvo about half hour into the drive just cruising didnt boost it up it started to splutter.

it also feels like the car sometimes cuts out completly then comes back to life splutering and carrying on.

the car stalled i fired it up it then drove normal for the last 5min of the trip home

What was the filter on the pump like ?

Have u drained fuel to check quality of it ?

Also check all fuel lines make sure there all good not split or leaking or sucking water

What is the timing set at ?

The filter on the pump was a little dirty it was light brown. i havnt drained the fuel but when i had the filter off i pumped some into a bottle and it was clean.

ok thanks ill go over all the fuel lines.

not to sure about the timming as far as i know its never been touched

The only reason I say check timing is that if ur cad I faulty ur timing may possibly be off if u get the chance hook up to a consult

Hey mate,

I remember reading somewhere recently that BOVs venting to atmosphere might cause stalling issues for skylines. I can't find the exact site where I read it, but here are some links for extra info on how others have solved it. Hope it helps!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
