Idle Hunting Problem. No Fuel Filter On R33 The Problem?.....


Recommended Posts

So my skyline apparently does not have a fuel filter and it looks like it has been modded to bypass a filter. It has been giving me idle problems over the past few months when the engine gets warm and have yet found a solution to this day... so i was wondering could this be the problem?? i cleaned the throttle body, cleaned the idle sensor, and cleaned the map flow sensor as well as re-soldering the joints inside & coil packs are good. Any advice would be appreciated guys. May need a oil change but have not gotten around to it.

It’s an r33 s2 1996 looks like it had a engine swap for a s1 engine no idea what year though.

Does it have stock ECU? Try an ECU reset and see if that helps.

No fuel filter sounds a little strange. Might wanna put some injector cleaner through it too.

It looks like the stock ecu to the engine (Rb25det) but it was hard wired to the original wire loom in the car instead of changing the whole thing out. Ill get some injector cleaner and throw it in my tank it and try a ecu reset over the weekend. It seems to mostly give trouble when its low on gas after i filled the tank the other day its been fine to drive home and work but its only a 5min trip so ill have to try a little longer trip after the weekend.

Injector cleaner is a waste of money, does nothing. If your having trouble with 1/4 left in the tank, then you might have an aftermarket fuel pump (walbro, bosch etc), they rarely get installed correctly and this is what always happens.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
