No more problem for me :) Thanks for the tip boostmeister!!

Turns out my problem was the fuel pressure dropping. When it would get really low the car would try to stall and when I tried to accelerate there wouldn't be enough pressure, so it took a while to build that up, explaining the hesitation.

Put the earth from the fuel pump into a new place in the boot and straight away had a constant reading on the fuel pressure gauge. Took the 180 for a drive and it worked perfectly for the first time in a few months!

The pump is pretty stuffed and must be on its way out if this has happened... it's all good though as a bigger and better Bosch pump is finding a new home in my car :burnout:

Guys, this might sound stupid (sounds like it) but how do you access the fuel pump and the earth wire (R33 GTST). Also, where can i get a fuel pressure gauge/tester, to see if pressure is actually dropping when I'm taking off from first gear??

To date, possible causes are

1- Fuel pump

2- AAC valve (whats that?)

3- BOV

4- Computer??

I know my problem is not 3 & 4... working on 1 & 2 if I know how to. Thanks all

Will this fix work for 33's

i have an aftemarket ecu and the problem is still there some various tuners have not fixed it.

I have just bumped the idle up for the mean time so the car does not stall ... but when the a/c is on its a bit ifish sometimes have to hit the accelerator to keep it going.

I've had the stock BOV before (vent back to turb) and the car still had the same problem. I think its a fuel pump thing... I've got a microtech, and that suppose to have fixed this stalling problem. Not quite.... Sending the ECU back for check at the moment. WIll keep you up to date.

Cant believe so many ppl have this problem! Cant really enjoy the car this way..too dangerous. Just imagine taking a corner, dropping it from 4 to 2nd gear. The car then stalls and the steering wheel locks up (power steering shuts down when car is dead). Result - oversteer and down the cliff *shudder*.

with the higher idle the fuel diff is no difference .. our car (bubz+Mark0) was shit before the idle change and its still shit :)

so the idle is heaps better now i run the car at bout 1000rpm on idel.. and while it still drops it does not stall at all now.. ;)

when there is a proper fix i will do it but till then this makes the car nice and drivable.

Even with the aircon on the car does not stall now...huge bonus ;)

I have heard of a few people doing the mod that boostmeister has said. They report great results .... speaking of more power when changing gears and getting back on the throttle... because there is no point where the fuel pump goes back onto idle mode...

I been meaning to do it for a while , might do it this week.

Also changing a fuel pump or doing any fuel sytem mods on a r33 is a ***ing nightmare. Im so glad i bought a r32

To fix The stalling problem with your cars, all u need to do is disconnect he battery, press the brakes pedal till theres no charge left, then reconnect battery, and take ur car for a hard run up your street asap, this will rest your ECU and advance the timing a little which = no more stalling and a more responsive car!! :P

Well, I've got my microtech ECU back, and the guys have the retuned it so that the volatile idling (up and down between 400 and 800rpm, especially with A/C on) is fixed.

However, the car still loses a lot of fuel pressure on take off from first gear..ie rev drops dramatically on releasing the clutch. Wonder if the guys at Tilbrooks can fix this anomaly...

Hey cowboy .. who did u send you ecu to ???

i have a microtech aswell and have the same issue as i said above my temp fix was to idle a bit faster so the car dont stall when the idle drops.

What sorta setup you got there and what ecu (model)

    • Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.  
    • Welcome Adam. Car looks great!
    • "With a 1.5-WAY, the LSD is effective only during acceleration."
    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
