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.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
