i have recently had an R32 imported and it has the general little problems that need to be fixed, as they do.

i was driving around last night doin about 60 in 3rd not accelerating or anything and the car just cut out. i put the pedal to the floor and the car would kick in and out jumpin all over the place, so i put the clutch in and revved it to the shit and it came back good.

drove around for about half an hour no probs but the it did it again in fourth.

only does it randomly and it has me worried. it has been doin it all day today.

need some help if anyone has had similar probs.

i tried a search but couldnt find anything.

all advice appreciated. thanks...

i've heard a few stories about air-flow meters going bad... not sure if this is your problem, maybe it needs a service - plugs + oil + filters?

My R33 misses under power about once every 5 takeoff's, very occasional but the bloke at Tilbrook has told me it is almost certainly the airflow meter faulty. The other confirming factor for Mr Tilbrook was that i only get 260kms from a tank! Not Good!

thanks for the reply guys.

well if he told you that 260kms out of a tank is a factor, well mine must be pretty shot because i drive resonably sensible and only get 320kms out of a tank...

might pick up a second hand one from the import guys i got the car off.

it was fully serviced when i got it imported. whatched them do it. got oil and fuel filters, iridium sparkies, all oils new pod etc...

thanks again i thought i was up for thousands...........

it really had me worried

i think i found the problem.

pulled my air filter off and my afm today to replace it with another one.

i looked at the afm inside on the sensor and it was covoered in this black stuff.

turns out it was the oil from the air filter. got a K&N pod filter, when i put it on u have to spray it with this oil stuff from a can. i think that this has sucked through and dirtied the afm. i put this other afm on and it hasnt played up as yet. kept the old on and am going to clean it and keep it as a spare.

does anyone no how to clean these. the link to this in the diy / faq section doesnt work...

thanks again guys that helped me with the problem.

Use carbi clean or throttlebody cleaner. These have always worked well. Contact cleaner works fine but I think is a little more expensive. I have never known any MAF meter to cause an engine to stall while your foot is on the accel. Usually at idle they stall. Sounds to be more like a fuel or ignition fault.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
