R32 Gtr Not Running Properly

Im hoping someone here will be able to help me out.

I was taking a jaunt down a highway pushing it hard in 4th and when i let off the gas the car beganto slow down more than it should normally. I pushed the gas pedal and it just sputtured and slowly reved down.

I pulled over on the side of the road and it then stalled. I repeatedly tried to start it but it would not hold an idle from that point on. If i floored it it would stall, if i touched the throttle a few times lightly it would rev up but missed alot.

I played around with the apexi power fc settings a bit to get it home but it barely made it and sputtered all the way back 7 km.

I got home and cleaned the MAF's out with cleaner and then putthem back in, I took a quick drive around the block and it would rev up and boost fine. I parked it for an hour then went to go back to the plans i had before it did all of this. I made it down the road about 3 km and it began doing it again. I took it back and cleaned the mafs out once more. It didnt help this time.

Now i have the car in my garage. I have checked the spark plugs and they are fine, coil packs look good on visual inspection.

Anybody know what it could be? I have been able to get it to rev and drive but it does not like hitting boost or beign under load.

OK. If you have a boost leak, then you have a boost leak - the car will run like crap permanently, it doesn't start and stop behaving erratically.

It might be the ignitor module for the coils - they tend to become susceptible to heat, and often recover after a you have stopped for a while trying to figure out what the problem could be (they manage to cool off and work OK again).

It could also be a bit of oil blowby - check the insides of the plumbing between the AFMs and the turbos. If they are coated in oil, then that is a potential source of the problem (hence the fact that cleaning the AFMs seems to at least partially fix the problem).

      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.
