Power Loss On Downshifts, Bouncing Idle And Slight Hesitation At Specific Rev Point -R34Gtt


Recommended Posts

Update so far- just replaced my O2 sensor with the NTK R33 sensor- cut off plug n crimp wires- works.

Pics- left one is stock R34 sensor when I bought car 4yrs ago and after a year of use.

Right one is the O2 sensor I replaced yesterday- as u can see running pig rich, also confirmed by spark plug pics earlier.

Havent test driven yet but dont expect massive improvements.

Lookin for a stock GTT fuel reg- wrecker wanted 50 bucks told him see ya later ;)

All this to solve my loss of power, huge fuel use, bouncing idle( havent had bouncing idle in ages), inconsistent running sometimes, not much now though. Main issue is a fair bit of power/torque loss and fuel use- finding it not so easy to spin 2nd now as before- not that I want to.

The power loss at downshifts and also some upshifts is most possibly the bov entry angle and doesnt bother me for now till I get these other issues sorted.

From todays driving I can confirm that now theres absolutely NO bouncing idle and jerky/hesitation/roughness in the 1500-2000rpms band and idles possibly a wee bit smoother- this with new O2 sensor n feedback ON as recommended by Yavuz. The O2 voltage is also in the 0-0.1V band under idle and alternating quickly when driving as it should, generally in the 0.1-0.2V band during low rpm driving- previous shagged O2 sensor would always be at 0.5-0.7V(rich).

But I still have a dramatic power loss as from the last 3 weeks- boosts to 22psi but no power/hard to spin in 2nd even whereas before you could just stab so lightly and spin at will. Before it also used to rev a fair bit quicker, now not. Boost leaks have been tested twice and I've killed myself fixing these. Nothing else changed, base timings 15deg as checked/set with light off no1 plug n also confirmed by power fc readout. Havent touched any timing/fuel maps so cant be these.

So I suspect its still running rich - water temp goes to 76-78C as usual, once went to 81C on a hotter day. So where the hells my power gone?

Bloody AFM again? Buying a wideband in a week or two to check afrs then I dunno next step. Need to have my power back and the fuel economy back (will be tested now Ive replaced the O2) before fixing the bov entry which is the least of my concerns right now.

Your right, would my carbon-fouled plugs be a big part of my power loss or is that more like a secondary thing to look at later?

they didn't look too bad but as XKLABA says they are just a sign of the problem. would still love to see a youtube video of the perceived problem.

Overfuelling. Both plugs n O2 sensor were fouled. O2 replaced. Temp sensor to ECU works n displays correct temps but not ideal - usu 76-78C this winter. I dont blame tune cos before the recent power loss it was running really great sometimes (only 25% of the time) but not all the time, but still overfuelling - poor fuel economy n fuel smell.

So what else can it be- AFM is all my little brain can think of..

when you get your wideband kit do some logging....if its as rich as you say it is then you'll see 10's on the afr gauge.....the fact your map trace on your commander jumps cells still leads me to believe the AFM is a bit bung....

Yeh I will do that. Could you explain the map trace a bit- theres the fuel n timing maps, both 20X20 cells. I assume the car can be at only one specific point at a time on both fuel/timing maps - eg row 3, column 10- means that it has to be row 3, column 10 on BOTH maps and this is what the map trace shows right? It shows that specific point (r3, c10).

My fuel map is shown in 'percent' values I think- the idle cells are generally 098,097,100 etc. I assume that this is a ratio of the stoich ratio 14.7:1 ie 098 is 14.7/0.98=15:1 AFR am I correct?

If thats the case that means I can see from the map trace what afrs its running by noting the cells then going to the inj map to check the afr of the cell? Tedious but

It's one way to look at it but you need to know what correction values equate to lambda values or stoich. This can be done but is usually what your tuner will do when seeing your base fuel map. On the power fc 100 equals 100% of the stock value. There is another page where you set your injector correction factor. Like I said earlier if you can be bothered sending me your recorded values I can take a look for you.... To see if there aren't any blaring issues.

you can download the universal power fc-edit software off the web. download that and plug your values into that, might be better.....then you can just save the tune file and send me that.....but change your AFM first.

See attached fuel n timing maps - seems like an unwanted 'wedge' in a part of the timing map (orange/ yellow)

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
