Hi all,

So it seems my R32 GTR has presented me with another problem. Not sure if it's electrical or an easy fix.

Anyway, this only started happening tonight after I gave it a bit in 2nd gear.

So what happens now is that in any gear, the engine starts to stutter and will be give me momentary surges in power from 2k rpm up till 3k rpm. It's difficult to make the engine go over 3k rpm.

There is quite a bit of jerkiness that comes with the stuttering and when I pulled over to let it idle the revs were hunting between 200rpm up to 1.5k rpm.

I had my headlights turned off which solved the problem for a little while, but it's returned after I've just test driven it (headlights off again) to see if the problem would occur again.

The car is basically undrivable when it's stuttering. Any ideas?

No real mods. Stock everything.

So ripped open the AFMs. 1st one looked great. 2nd one, not sure if it was a bit broken or not.

Have a look and let me know:

The 2nd from left prong was a little folded back, so I pushed it back into it's place. I want to silicon seal it back up after I resolder all the connections before I put it back in to test the car.

Is this what a dodgy AFM connection looks like though?

Sounds like the AFM may have dry solder joints on the plug connection inside, or a blown cooler pipe perhaps.

Do the AFM solder fix.

Fixed it all up and problem didn't appear on 2 separate test drives. Seems to have worked!

Thanks boys.

      Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead

      Should you buy cheap Chinese tyres?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.

      It shouldn't swell like that, (just looked it up) it should say SAE J30R10

      Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.

      Don't want to side track from the thread too much (don't want to upset the thread starter's run from 2007) so here's some old rusted Nissan Laurels in a parking lot in Nishinomiya, Hyogo-ken:
