hi guys

so i bought my r34 gtr a month ago and after a week noticed slight hesitation while cruising at 120ish, now a week later some days the car is sweeet pulls hard other days i can feel the hesitation. then driving back to work after lunch it was almost undrivable for a couple of minutes, could only put like five percent throttle on other wise it would completely miss and be hopping down the road ( it was like someone was giving it %100 throttle then nothing, all within a second. then after a couple of minutes it came right.

seems to do it when engine is warm

its now done this a few times but had a day in between with no problems, now a list of things ive tried

i read alot on here but couldnt find anything i thought was my problem. my ecu is only giving me code 55 which is all clear, i checked hoses for leaks , i forgot to do inlet gasket but i will try that, i cleaned afm's , chucked a new set of spark plugs at it, ngk platniums which are 1.1mm gapped,

been told it could be water in fuel tank but im not sure

any replys will be greatly appreciated

afms were getting dirty due to the air filter seal around the outside had a chunk missing, ive already replaced the filter as soon as i seen it and cleaned the afms but yeah il gap the plugs this weekend, and il look into the O2 sensor, thanks

put the afm back in, car was fine until it warmed up then did the exact same thing, but this time the ecu threw a code, 12 which is afm, so either it was afm or i damaged something in the afm and its that now aswell :( haha going to pull them both out recheck everything and solder if i need to then clear the ecu and try again, cars symptons were the same though so i am leaning towards a faulty afm

i do want to put an powerfc or something in it but i live 600kms (perth) away from any decent tuner so id have to raise a bit of money and go there for a couple of days and then somehow get around while they had it ...

anyway update: i took both afms out, resoldered the plug and sensor connections on both cleaned them and put them back in, its better now the car hasnt hopped (like a complete cut of power) for a couple of days but it still has hesitation, doesnt have the pull it used to just lacking a bit of power, the ecu is also no longer throwing the air flow meter code after they were soldered again

any suggestions at all anyone?

thanks

just discovered today that the hesitation is constant when the engine is still only just in vaccum and when you make about .1 bar of boost it starts pulling again if this helps anyone

just incase anyone follows this in the future the problem ended up being 2 problems at once haha

a bad solder connection on the afm caused the car to hop and cut power, dont know which connection it was just soldered up every main one,

secondly it still had hesitation after fixing the afm so bought the consult plug off ebay for 25 (highly recomend getting one) and noticed straight away the rear 02 sensors voltage was just staying at .4 or something and the other one was actually reading and bouncing around with different revs on so replaced the rear 02 sensor and problems solved.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
