Good evening,

I need some help, About 1yr ago i did a complete conversion on my cefiro using a gtst front cut. from the start i had an idle issue but only when mashing the brakes to slow down, this would become worse when the ac was on, to the point where it would cut off. lately (march) it started to get worse even when the ac was not on. i did searches and i have cleaned the idle control valve, the maf sensor, plugs are approximately 1yr old. in April i changed the turbo and installed a t3/t4 with a top-mount manifold and also a front mount intercooler. the original problem was never solved but i have seen a steady progression and it is getting worse, even with no AC.

here are the new symptoms.

Starts up good, when the car gets warm the engine starts to search, drops to 3k rpms and lower and then pick back up and so it goes until it would cut off. under acceleration the car works perfect, plus real hard at 12psi, air/fuel shows up as 12 to 13, no sputtering etc. when it is back down to idle it feels like it is going to cut off and then it does, only way to avoid it is if i mash the gas and then it catches itself and idles at 800 rpm until it start to search again. i have noticed that on the wide band that i have it goes from 18 to 22.4 when it searches. i changed the idle control valve (the original one had a spring in it the used one i bought does not) but i got the same issue. idle nice when it starts and as soon as it gets warm it starts to search.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Roger

update, i changed the o2 sensor with one i had from a RB20 non-turbo and guess what she runs really good, so it looks like it was a bad o2 sensor was at the heart of my problem. i would look for a new one to replace it. thanks for all your help i really appreciated it.

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
