OK, im sure heaps of people have posted the same sort of questions im about to ask, but just bare with me. Ive skimmed through other threads, but they havent really coverd my problem. I just got my gtr 32 three weeks ago. Got it home, and i was sure the fuel pump shit itself, because it didnt seem like it was getting fuel. So before changing the pump, i changed the filter, cleaned the tank out and little things like that. Didnt fix the problem so i bought a walbro pump and put it in. It fixed the problem to a certain extent, but it still seems like it doesnt get regular fuel. Problems i think it could be... Stuffed fuel pressure regulator... Stuffed afc's. Also ive been told that maybe the 02 censors could be dirty???? doesnt sound right to me. It sometimes doesnt get past 2600rpm. which i was reading that usualy is your afc's? But mainly it drives good then cuts out and when i start it after a drive it strugles to keep idle. Other times it drives like a dream. This is my first nissan and i wouldnt have a clue where to start. So it would be absolutely great if you guys could just help me! i really need this. Its killing me having my dream car in my shed not being driven. :)

Thanks.

Check:

All vacuum and boost lines,

Sensors and their connectors.

My Dad has a VL Commodore and the AFM was loose so maost of the time it ran good and occasionally ran like a pig. When I first got my car, one of the knock sensors was loose so it was going into safe mode half the time. I also found that my boost gauge was not working due to the vacuum line off the back of the inlet manifold being cracked. By replacing the hose I now had no vacuum/boost leak and my guage now works. When I fixed the knock sensor the car runs like a dream.

So just look at connections to all sensors and listen out for those leaks.

Good Luck :headspin:

hmm, i still havent fixed the problem, but ive been out of town. My friend either has somthing you plug into your ecu or he knows how to read it, well he's gonna check the diagnostics anyway. Thanks for your help. I just hope i can hurry up and fix the problem and its nothing major.... hmmm..

Try getting the injectors cleaned but I think your problem might be more Air flow related.

It is very unlikely that it will be a regulator problem but don't rule it out. I think I have replaced like 1 reg to a hundred pumps.

yeah, its my airflow metre, well the top one. I hooked some kind of absolutely cool device in. its a hand controller for the computer, i plugged that in and it told me straight away that there was no response from airflow 2. which happens to be the top one. Still trying to figure out wether its the wiring or the airflow metre itself. I guess now im on the look out for a gtr airflow metre. Just standard, no point in upgrading if they are just coming out in 6 months time anyway..

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
