Guys,

I thought i'd run it by you all first. As of about 2 days ago my car started making funny noises/jolts when on boost.

Intermittantly, over about 4000rpm with foot on the go-fast pedal, the car would cough and splutter at various points in the rev range up until redline :)

almost like it's running out of fuel then finding it again. all intermittantly.....

do the symptoms described sound serious ? what could they be ?

TIA.

-Kym.

Puckish,

lets not go there again!

Kym,

It could just be a injector is clogged or fuel pressure is not constant. I'd first try some injector cleaner, this should remove any deposits. I would have thought if it was a fuel pump problem then Barry would have picked it up on the dyno, so try the simple things first.

Have you bothered to regap your plugs? What gap are they at and what boost are you running?

He didn't find my still-continuing bubbling noise on boost, so it wouldn't suprise me if there's more problems.

I haven't regapped the plugs yet, that's booked in for tomorrow garage-ala-kym! I'll see what the plugs look like too.. maybe they need replacing. If that doesn't work I'll pick up some injector cleaner too :)

I'm still on standard boost by the way, haven't had any higher than 7psi *sniff*sniff*

Thx for the advice mate :cool:

oh yeh, and nice to put a face to the name also Paul!

Kym,

Gapping the plugs is easy, I have mine at .7mm that way you can be sure of a good spark. It does sound like the plugs may need replacing, if you use octane booster alot then they definately will.

Hope it goes well, keep us informed.

Your car looked sweet last night by the way.....

Your problem sounds like spark plugs.... I think they are ROOTED.... if you are running standard boost (7 psi) you do NOT have to regap them .... but it is advisable....

I dont think the problem is the gap.. i think they just might be stuffed....

if you use ocate booster they stuff really screws up your plugs......

just hope its not your coils ... they are a tendency for going shit on the RB motors......

Good luck Kym

Thanks buddy. LOVED your car too btw :) nice sounding BOV too... luvin it *drool*

After some body mods it'll look alot better (read: ultra-wide GTR wing, some skirts, and a S2 front bar (for FMIC))

Okay, so i'll be replacing the plugs tomorrow. That should help. I'll let you know how it all goes then :cool:

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
