Hi All,

I have a bit of an issue I can't put my finger on and I am hoping the SAU community can help.

I recently imported a 33 GTR and when I drive the car and keep it at a steady 3500 rpm there's a miss. Below and over 2500 rmp the car runs ok. Having said that the fuel consumption is very bad and there's plenty of back fire in normal driving.

I have done my home work and searched on this site and Google and the below have been helpful but not solved my issue.

What I have done:

  • Changed spark plugs to NGK BCPR7ES which I chose after reading a thread on SAU
  • Changed the fuel filter
  • Changed the CAS
  • Changed the pod filters to airbox
  • Changed AFM
  • Changed BOV's and checked piping was on tight
  • Changed the coil packs and sealed them with dielectric goo as the YouTube video suggested

The car sounds a little rough on idle but I am not sure if this is because the cam timing as the in was set to 0 and ex 2 degrees retarded. I noticed this when I did a full service on the car and I changed my timing belt. HKS cam gears came as a surprise. (the car was missing before the service)

The only thing I haven't changed is my injectors and fuel reg as one of the topics said that possibly could be the issue.

Before I start removing the fuel rail, injectors and reg is there anything else that could be causing this issue?

All your input will be greatly appreciated as I am stumped!

Thanking everyone in advanced.

Most likely a vacuum/boost leak.

Last time i had a miss it was the igniter module, in my case it was above 3500 but sounded like the wide spark gap or faulty coil pack issue.

In your case with backfire it sounds more like a Vacuum or boost leak, you need to check your hoses and pipes first.

Thanks guys!

I think you might be right about the vacuum leak as I believe the brakes are not as good as they should be. I have found a workshop that has a vac leak tester (think it's called a smoke test) and have a booking on Monday.

Having said that though I used carby cleaner and sprayed around hoses but I didn't notice anything.

Will keep you posted on the results/ solution.

Dead or failing o2 sensors do all those things...

Hi Trent,

Thanks for your response. Does the engine light come on when an 02 sensor fails? Currently I don't have the warning light. Also, if I plug a diagnostics tool will I be able to tell if the O2 sensor is failing?

Thanks.

.. r33 GTR missing at 3500rpm!

2 questions:

- Where did it go? I assume it came back/

- Do you have a picture of the flux capacitor install?

Cheers

Justin

LMFAO! :yes: I'll pay that one.

Just unplug them and see if the miss is gone. This is called open loop.

Oh I already did this a few weeks ago and the miss was still there. :unsure:

What do you mean by brakes not as good as they should be?

As in making hissing (or bubbling) noise when it comes to complete stop as you'd felt on the pedal?

Do the brakes get better with a few hard stops or do they fade? It is worth changing your brake fluid (any new fluid but something like Motul best). Otherwise a change of pads might be indicated. They could be track pads which don't pull up well when cold or they could be just rubbish pads (have a read of the brakes section for some suggestions) - I bought Pagid but they are quite expensive and there are other types that people like.

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.

      Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
