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.

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.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
