Hi all

just needing some help.

i have an R33 GTR that was put away for nearly a year at the painters and when I got the car back it would run really rich (standard ecu, so the run a bit rich anyway)

but this thing is running super rich and poor Ung fuel in once it got warm , to the point that last week when I drove the car , any lift or feathering of the throttle resulted in massive backfire through the exhaust.

Drove a little further and the car idled at 1200-1500 rpm till a few minutes later it stalled and wouldn’t restart.

Had it with the mechanic for a week and he cannot find the fault be confirmed it just pours fuel in once warm to the point it fouls plugs in around 500 meters of driving.

any help on this would be appreciated as I am totally frustrated trying to work it out

symptoms of f**ked Air Flow Meters.

My old 33R did the same - would drive fine when cooler - once it was warm it would start doing random misfires, shuddering etc.  Replaced the AFM's and was back to driving like new.

I would guess they became dirty / flowed sitting in a dusty paint shop for a year.

Assuming you still have AFM's that is.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
