Hey guys,

 

Sometimes when I start my R34 GTT (98, NEO) it sounds like its stuttering or spluttering, but it starts each time. Then when it gets warm and I'm sitting at lights or just idling, the revs will go up and down and low enough sometimes to almost stall (but it hasn't yet). I have no idea what this could be, I purchased a new Z32 AFM and installed it, but the car ran like shit as I'm guessing it needs to be tuned for the new one (so I put the old one back in).

 

Help is appreciated :D 

Yes, well, you can't run a Z32 AFM against a standard ECU without Nistune, correct.

I would suggest that your IACV would be dirty/sticky/blocked, hence the engine's inability to control revs. But all the roughness could be just about anything. AFM (dying, dirty, broken solder joints), CAS (same), injectors (dirty, broken loom plugs/pins), coils (same).  The list goes on.

When I got the car looked at by a mechanic (it had a check engine light) they said the light was from the throttle actuator or o2 sensor. I'm guessing this is related, but what does that mean / what would be the fix? Sheesh

 

The car also idles at 1100 rpm

Link is dead, and the official Nissan mechanic wasn't sure either, he also said 'a retune will probably fix the issue' but I don't think that's true

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
