Help! I have purchased an R32 GTS25 and am experiencing some engine problems. These problems include; occasional missing, occasional stalling and the occasional hesitation (by which I mean when I am accelerating the engine almost hiccups, it cuts out then comes back in accelerating). I have taken it to the local Nissan Dealership who originally diagnosed it as a faulty CAS. So I got that replaced and it didn't do too much, just made these problems occur less. However they still do occur... So I took it back they performed another diagnostic check and the DTC came back OK....

How do I fix these problems!! They suggested coils (which I replaced with "newer" 2nd ones 2 months ago), Igniter, AFM or the ECU?? Which would be the best plan of attack? Or is there something they missed??

Cheers Rich

did the coils make any difference at all? there is always the chance that they were no better than the ones you replaced. the ignitor is also worth looking at (if it is a serious 1 r33)

if possible, if you have a mate that also has a r33 you could try swapping parts with his car and seeing if you can isolate the problem part

No cat converter so thats unlikely haha, and no I also replaced the fuel filter about 2 months ago aswell so again unlikely

Yes the coils made a slight difference but I mean it wasn't like it was a game changer as the problem is still there. No, no mate that I could swap parts with, but will look into the igniter as yes it is a series 1 RB25de

iv got a very similar problem wiv my rb30 iv replaced all the same shit including distributor cap and rotor , leads n AFM and the power transistor next 2 the distributor. some1 has mentioned problems with the actual throttle body not sure though. when it plays up can u smell unburnt fuel?? mine stinks of it wen it stars randomly running like shit

If I do (most probably) end up replacing my AFM what would be the best replacement? As am browsing through trademe and to me they are all the same thing just different colours :/

As long as it's green sticker it should be the same. Double check the part number on yours matches the one your buying. 22680-02U00-?

UPDATE:

Now my car doesn't start at all :/ It turns over but doesn't want to start, so I replaced my ignitor and resoldered the joints on my AFM (to try solve the original problem) but nothing changed, it still turns over with no motivation to start. Will be taking it into an auto electrician tomorrow hopefully.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
