V36 250gt hesitates when taking off from stop

Hi everyone first post here and I really need your help!! I'm located in Auckland NZ.

My 2007 v6 250gt (vq25hr engine) hesitates when accelerate from stop with light throttle. Rev goes up to around 1200rpm and suddenly drops to around 900rpm then up again to normal. Car would shake and lose power for a blink of time. It ONLY happens right after the car is warmed up, say after 5 to 10 minutes of driving. No problem at all when engine is cold and the symptom goes away after another 10 minutes drive.

I started noticing the issue after I cleaned throttle body and replaced battery.

So far I have put new battery in, cleaned throttle bodies and MAF sensors, changed air filters to kn. Reset ECU by disconnecting battery and releasing remaining charge by pressing bake pedal. I have also done all the relearn processrues. But none of them made any difference.

There is no CEL or code. 

I have even swapped two throttle bodies and MAF sensors but that didn't help neither.

I am having bad mileage too at 7.2km/l when driving moderately in city.

Any ideas??? I have read so many posts and don't really know if I should have a software update or change the exhaust valve or ???

I'm so frustrated:(

Thanks!!!!

This sounds like something similar to what affects some early V36s where the engine coolant has warmed up, but the oil isn't yet fully warmed.  the VCT is quite sensitive to oil viscosity and doesn't function correctly while the oil is still thicker.  i think there was an ECU update to extend the time after warm up before the VCT starts functioning, but it can be hard to get updates for JDM vehicles once they are outside Japan.

 

Perhaps try a different type of oil..

Hi Somicii, thanks for the reply! Yes I suspect it's the VTC as well.  I have opened the VTC cover to remove any jam or gum but it turned out all clean. I'm currently using 5w-30 and will change to 0w-40 which is thinner in next service. I'll post back how it goes with different oil.

cheers!

Vacuum leak? Check the intake pipes aren't cracked or loose.

Hi mate I have checked all pipes there's no sign of leak plus idle is stable and once car is fully warmed up symptom goes away immediately.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
