Hey all :)

I have a problem with my skyline. Only occasionally I will start it and begin to drive.. then when I'm accelerating it seems to lose power and slightly "bunny hop" the bunny hops are not aggressive. it just doesn't seem to be able to get to higher revs. It does happen when it's cold but by the time it's warmed up it still has the problem.as I said it only does it every now and again. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

No mods except for a coke can in the blow off valve (bought like that) :P

Don't know the service history from previous owner. Has had a complete full service. Was happening before I recently got it serviced.. mechanic changed the fuel filter and spark plugs (thinking they were the cause) but problem still persists

It happens at any revs. It happens whenever I accelerate

Found this thread and am bumping it because I have a similar problem. I'll describe it in more detail though.

This happens occasionally, and only early in any drive if it does. Not like right out of my garage but 1 or 2 minutes in. I will probably happen at a frequency of about once every 3 times i drive the car.

Once it happens it will happen until i let it sit out of boost for a while and it will be ok. I even did 5 runs at autocross after this, problem did not crop up.

How violent it is depends on how much throttle i'm using. If I hold it down as i'm trying to accelerate and not let it if it reminds me as if someone who is just learning to driving a manual is driving the car. Off-boost it doesn't do this. It only does it at RPMs in which the turbo is building or holding pressure.

Same recommendations? I don't have another AFM to try otherwise I would but I could install my powerfc and put in a Z32 AFM.

I had an r32 gtst back in 2004 which would do that, the car would lurch back and forth violently under acceleration. Turned out to be a really dirty fuel filter, wasn't allowing sufficient fuel to the rail so the car was suffering fuel starvation. Upon reflection I'm surprised I didn't destroy the engine, must have been running ultra lean during those periods.

Did it do this all the time or only occasionally like it's doing for me?

I would think if it were a fuel filter it wouldn't just stop and be fine for hours.

      Grind them off, drill them out. Repair any rust on the other side. Start again from scratch.

      Power steering pump r32

      Thanks Mate, I did know you could do that but i know there is a pump out there that you can bolt on and it all lines up. I was told about it and then forgot the model, I figure if i am pulling it apart i will just put a new one on

      You can also remove the veins from the HICAS portion of your existing pump.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      Trying to swap the rear subframe on my R34 and can't remove the L-shaped stay brackets between the front subframe mounts and the sill/chassis. I'm in the UK so rust is a problem. I've used loads of WD40 and then Tunap 103 for days beforehand. I backed off the bolts forward a bit, backward a bit repeatedly for ages to try and avoid snapping. They have all moved a few full turns. The one I've spent most time on has come loose and I can turn with fingers, and it will pull down and push up 2-3mm. But it won't come out. I can tighten it back up and loosen it off again repeatedly but it still won't come out. I assumed there's a captive nut inside but if that's broken loose then I can't understand why I can always tighten the bolt back up - I'd expect it to just spin both ways. Any ideas what's happening here? I can't visualise what's inside there to cause this.
