Ok GTR owners and experts. I am new the forum and have had my R32 GTR for about 2 months.

While on a long (1hr) drive I noticed on acceleration I had almost no power. The car surges and I can her the recirculation valves cycling opening and closing while accelerating. Also noticed sometimes the Hicas light flickers on and off.

Car details:

1993 RB26 GTR 5 speed manual.

Stock except for

Aftermarket radiator

Dual stage Turbosmart boost controller (set to 10psi).

Diagnosis so far.

Replaced PTU (upgraded -yellow jacket) - No change.

Checked Timing (22 deg BTDC).

Replaced sparkplugs - no change.

 

Anyone out there had similar problem and solution?

About to check fuel pressure.

I suspect ECCS or Fuel pump controller. I do not want to throw money at the problem without a proper diagnosis.

Thanks for any assistance.

Michael.

Thanks Ravi.

I will check voltages of AFM when cold and try to check when hot.

the Voltmeter is reading  a steady 14V. So I cannot see it being a voltage or charging issue but I wil keep an eye on it.

Changed the fuel filter today then drove 300km in the car. Did 100 Km with no problem the other 200 km with the problem. No acceleleration, missing and surging with boost fluctuation but not overboost.

Remember all is well when cold but after an hour of driving the problem occurs.

Michael.

Well I think I found the problem. While checking fuel pressure i moved the wiring to the injector connectors and got a change on no 6 injector wiring. On closer inspection the injector plug was half off. I pushed it in all the way. Now there is no change when wiring is moved.

Need to drive it to check but i think this was the problem.

Fuel pressure idling and under load was in spec anyway.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
