I have an R33 Gtst s2 and a few weeks ago i went to pick up my girlfriend from the airport and since i live in ballarat it is a long drive there and back so i filled up my tank almost full and since then the car has been surging, i never normaly put that much fuel in the tank and its usually half full as a maximum cos i dont drive much so i thought it might have something to do with filling the tank full cos it may have had some crud buildup higher up on the tank that isnt usually disturbed but it could be anything really, i filled up at the usual place and i put the 91 octane stuff in cos the car runs rich so since it wastes alot of fuel it makes sense to put the cheaper stuff in. Anyways i have just put new plugs and a fuel filter in and it didnt fix it and i just put some injector cleaner in it and im going to give it a big long drive tomorrow. It seems to only surge when im accelerating so if im sitting on the freeway its good but if im just getting onto the freeway and accelerating upto speed it will surge, does anyone have any hints on what could be the oroblem or can tell me what i can check next

I'm assuming standard ECU, injectors, pump, AFM, boost.

You should be putting 98RON fuel in. Otherwise, the ECU retards the engine because it'll ping.

What spark plugs did you put in? Gap? It could be hitting R&R (too much boost), could be bad AFM (replace/solder fix AFM), could be bad fuel pump. First thing I'd do is drain the fuel tank and put 98 RON fuel in.

yep. problem is 91. 95 is fine. 98 is better.

for now disconnect you r battery for 24 hours, to reset the ecu. it swill remapp itself and may get out of trouble for now.

but id start adding 98ron as soon as possible.

once all the 91 is gone reset the ecu again to remap for better fuel

as a start.

as niz said above you could have a problem too.

ECU doesn't remap shit.. it has a pre-defined ignition & injection table.. the only closed loop is the idle & knock feedback.

If you insist in running 91RON, just retard the base timing like 4~5 degrees so at idle it's at 11 degrees BTDC

UPDATE

after changing all that stuff it ended up being the injectors, they were clogged from running that cheap 91 octane crap, i put a bottle of injector cleaner in it and its all good now. I only started putting it in a year ago cos the car is running so rich and dumping most of the good 98 out the exhaust so cos of that i used 91 and that dirty crap clogged up everything.

Let this be a lesson to anyone else running rich and thinking of putting the cheap crap in cos its spittin your good unburnt 98 out the rear, its not worth it, get your car tuned instead cos it will save you alot of headaches

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
