i have an R32 GTS-T and my stalling issue is when u punch it, then put your foot on the clutch the revs drop so low it stalls!

does any 1 know if

-adding a new ground to the fule pump will fix it? and can this kill the pump?

-a new o2 sensor? and AFM?

-vacume leak?

-a tune?

-cloged fule filter

anything i miss?

thanks,

What I would do is find someone who is able to run some diagnostics on the car to see whether there is a specific sensor/switch/actuator thats sh!t itself. Either a workshop or someone who can datalog using a CONSULT interface and who knows what they are looking at.

You might be able to isolate the problem quickly and easily, with minimal headscratching.

One aspect of the ecu's operation that could cause stalling is if it fails to activate decelleration fuel cut recovery rpm control.

Say if you take you foot right off the throttle to stop at the lights the ecu stops the injectors while he car slows.

As it comes to a stop the injectors start operating again and the ecu holds the idle at about 1300 or so until the idle stabilises then it drops back to normal idle.

Sometimes, maybe when the ecu doesn't get the correct signal back from some sensor or other, this recovery control malfunctions causing either stalling or fast idle problems.

I'd like to see any explanations of possible causes of this. eg more detail on how decel. fuel cut recovery works or which sensors could be involved.

While I was typing my previous post I was thinking what sensors might cause a problem.

It occurred to me that the car should have a clutch pedal switch.

I went out to the garage to see it my r32 had one and there was one but it wasn't connected. I looked at the loom that was near it and I found a plug tucked back into the loom.

The wires reached the switch and it plugged straight in.

I don't know why it was disconnected but it looked deliberate.

Now I want to test drive it and see if I've fixed my longstanding crazy idle problem but I'm parked in for the night.

I'll check it out tomorrow if I get time.

I took it for a short drive this morning and it's a much smoother car to drive.

Before I put the plug into the switch the idle would come down in steps when I stop at the lights 1400, 1200, 700 over 5-10 seconds.

Now it drops straight to 700 and stays there.

It has also fixed the problem of the revs dropping too low during gear changes especially on the overrun when the fuel cut operates.

I've owned this car for nearly three years, I can't believe I didn't pick this up sooner.

One thing that puzzles me though is that the way the plug was tucked into the loom looks as though it was factory so maybe it has been this way from new.

Have a look guys and see if your clutchpedal switch is connected and let me know.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
