33 gtst - clutch and full exhaust (bellmouth)

Had issues for a while when I fill up tank with fuel and start the car it won't idle correctly and hunts (sometimes stalls)

This issue I was always a bit whatever about it. Hit the throttle and she settles ok.

Major concern is:

I have had a very intermittent issue where the exhaust will pop when I decelerate with no throttle and then touch the throttle it will pop no matter how many times I go on an off throttle. Sometimes it will get so bad it will pop whilst decelerating down revs without touching the throttle.

Through the revs doesn't miss a beat.

Did it with 2 different motors in it. (blew motor) Only things that remained on change of engine was afm, tps, coils and loom. (fuel pump of course)

Cas, plugs, fpr, injectors all changed.

I got consult to find O2 sensor sitting at .3 when cold then when at temp sits around .1-.2V. Had a spare sitting around so tried that and it just read 0.0-0.15V. So I Bought O2 sensor and found readings Fluctuated from .28-.80V. Which a mates car also did. Got better fuel consumption of course.

Car still popped intermittently.

Tested for vac leak and all good.

Tested tps voltage and all good.

Also I originally had exhaust studs snapped so gathered that would cause popping. Changed all studs and gasket. Still popped intermittently.

It was very intermittent so hard to diagnose but of course now I am in QLD on holidays it is doing it a lot more then normal.

I have found that when I'm low on fuel it doesn't pop at all no matter how much I cruise or thrash it. I pull into servo and put fuel in and I pull out to check if it pops and it does.

So I am thinking fuel pump but why or can u guys think of something else?

Sorry for massive read but wanted to give as much info as possible.

I also understand if u all are not in the mood to think as it is Easter and u may be drunk or hungover.

Also check tps setting.

Did u keep the charcoal canister or remove it? If u removed it wat did u do with the lines? I had a mate route his breather line to the inlet manifold and wondered why it was running rich on decel and accell

Stock bov not blocked.

Exhaust wrap isn't needed for flames lol. It's stock and people think its off tap cause it blows flames.

Charcoal canister lines were put on as they were but will gO over them in the morning.

Checked it couple times as that's what everyone thought it would be and didn't believe I checked it right. It is set at .43v and reads normal on consult when issue is happening.

I'm going to get stuck into it now and see how I go.

One way to check whether or not its the TPS is to turn the ignition off whilst on decel and see if it makes any difference. If everythings working as it should it shouldn't make any difference. Just make sure the motors hot first

Yea that's still the same with ignition off.

I have vented charcoal canister to Atmosphere and it hasn't popped and carried on today.

Will hook canister back up tonight and see if it pops (of it does) then i will undo it to see if it fixs it.

Also found fuel filler fitting loose which is why fuel leaked last DECA.

Just did manifold gasket as I had 8 snapped studs lol. All new genuine parts. Reused gasket to exhaust which was fine.

When it was popping I thought this was due to fix it for sure but didn't :(

    • Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?
    • 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!
    • 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
