Urgent Help Needed

Hey Guys,

Recently the GTR has been runing really rough, this started happening when I was out of town (of course).

I have come back yesterday and with some proper help have found that my air flow meters have been playing up. I have had many stops on the freeway and the car stalling and only reving to 2500 rpm. And then all of a sudden all is ok. This problem is really starting to get on my nerves, and with some thinking with Verms have decided to see if there is anyone willing to help me by donating 2 working air flow meters for us to check if this is indeed the case as told by the stock ECU DTC.

To make matters worse I am leaving on posting to Melbourne on the weekend so all this is very urgent if I am going to be able to make it on time, if indeed at all.

I am also willing to buy a set off someone as if this is the case I will needed replacements.

Any help here will be very much appreciated, and im sure a dinner will be thrown in if you are willing to help me with coming down and helping (and lending the AFMs) as this is really important for me to meet this posting.

Thanks Guys

i dont have any afm's but have you tried cleaning them? they can get oiled up and wont send the correct signals.

Motoguard Electrical Contact Cleaner works well, $8 from autopro.

We found the code coming up with the airflow meters so first thing we did was clean them with contact cleaner.

Though that might have fixed the problem but its still doing it.

If anyone has a pair of them we could borrow to confirm that they are the problem.

When idling they read on the power fc hand controller around the 1000mV and when it started playing up dropped to 500mV.

I'll swing past on my way home today and grab them if possible!

Perhaps the boys at ESP can help. Glen has his red R32 GTR sitting in the display room.

Paul has some FS - $200 each with plugs and they were hardly used.

2 x AFM's (Z32)

Call them first and if that Fails then swing by mine on your way home.

You fcuk them - you buy me a new pair too

Im nearly 100% sure paul sold 1 so only 1 available.

I thought you werent running afm?

Im hoping someone has a pair thats they aren't currently using to make things easier.

If the possibility is there for alex to possibly buy them so he is able to get to melboure on the weekend to start course!

My AFM's are still on my GTR eventhough I'm not using them.

Saves me making up pipes and they're always there - just in case.

Plus if I get pulled over all looks as it should :thumbsup:

PS. If it is your AFM then I expect oonly 1 is failing. Hence 1000 to 500 ?

Keep the fuzz happy :P

All it needs to do is get me to Melbourne, so if its one or both that are stuffed I'm going to either find them or find away to drive it.

But any help is good help. I would even consider borrowing one and posting it back to anyone who is willing.

Thanks guys for all your help. One of the AFMs I got off Paul is faulty, but I have now found my good one and both are now working well. And it was nice to meet you too Paul, thanks for the tips for future upgrades for the GTR. Melbourne here I come!!!

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
