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

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.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
