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.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must me missing something?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
