hey guys,

I seem to be having a strange issue with my R34 GTR, at first I thought it was coil packs so i pulled them out and couldn’t see a problem with them (looked for cracks)

The problem is intermittent and has a couple of problems which I feel are related to something.

Problems:

- Car is stuttering between 3K RMP and 4K, after it hits 4K the car revs smoothly. I can hear the stutter through the pod filters... almost sounds like the BOV is stuttering or something...

- Sometimes when I put the foot down to 100% throttle the Boost, Revs and speed do not change and just sit there...

could it be coil packs or AFM? I haven’t really started looking yet.. I think ill first clean the AFM, anyone got some cleaning tips?

Cheers,

Dom

I had a similar problem which was fuel cut at high revs with black smoke , then eventually became misfire intermitently !

You should take the pods off and spray the AFMs with carbie cleaner , clean pods as well .

Then if problem continues as mine did , replace Coilpacks , i got some genuine Nissan packs for $236 a set , or you can get splitfires , this should help .

Visually looking at the coilpacks does not really say anything , mine looked perfect externally but were stuffed at 65,000 km .

Hope this helps !! :rolleyes:

Don't use carby cleaner on AFMs!

Why not , does carbie cleaner leave a residue ?

K33P UP , i would have a good look at your AFMs , no power after 3k rpm could be a dry soldering joint inside your AFM .

Theres plenty info on this problem on SAU

thanks guys, ill take a look. if i cant use carby cleaner what else is good to clean the AFM?

i guess if it keep happening after the clean i might buy new AFM first and work my way to coil packs.. sometimes it drives fine for a few days but then plays up for days..

I also have a red ( ! ) in the cluster sometimes and only goes away when the speed goes back down to either below 20kmph or 0.... even if i drive and the light comes on i drop the car into neutral to put the revs back to 1,000 rpm... related maybe? or could that be a problem with ABS? as its the same light as the hand brake

Super cheap auto have a MAF/airflow sensor cleaner spray. Use that to hose out the sensors.

Before you go buying coil packs, I'd suggest pressure testing the intake system from the twin turbo pipe to the intake manifold. If you have a lose clamp or split hose somewhere you'll find it. The miss could be simple over-fueling as a result of an air leak.

You mentioned you could hear the BOV stuttering through your pods? this sounds like what happened to mine and it ended up being the o2 sensors.

This was after I swapped the spark plugs and cleaned the AFM's Still a good idea to clean the AFM's like people already mentioned though.

See my report here:

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
