Just lately my r32 has been fluttering while i have my foot is on the accelerator. It does it when i go up hills and on the highway when i give it a bit. When it does it my boost gauge bounces between about 3 and 7 psi. Sometimes it does it when i hit 7 psi and sometimes it does it at about 2 psi.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

the fluttering indicates air going back through your turbo which normally happens on cars without BOVs when the trottle closes. Since you are experiencing this issue with the throttle open you must have a blockage in the piping after your turbo and before your trottle. My guess would be something in your intercooler???

I would be more inclined to check for a blocked fuel filter, fouled spark plug or dodgy coil pack before pulling the piping apart...how exactly does something large enough to block you intake get past the mesh on the AFM and then through the turbo without you knowing about it?

Are you willing to put money on it if you are so sure.

The best way to approach any problem is to start with the basics.

Check the fuel sysetm, then check the ignition system, then check the intake.

If you come up trumps...then start your in depth diagnosis like computer fault codes and other things like that.

Or you could just take the car to a qualified mechanic and he'll do it all for you.

thanks for the replies, ive checked the coils and plugs and they are fine, would i need a fuel pressure gauge to check if fuel was the problem?

plus what is compressor surge?

It does it almost all the time when i hit 7psi in 5th gear on the highway and it doesnt matter if im doing 2500rpm or 3500rpm, its always when it hits 7psi. Could it be wastegate flutter? I have a custom dump pipe.

When I say compressor surge I am refering to compressed air being pushed back through the turbo when the throttle is closed causing a fluttering sound as the air is "Chopped" up.

I was think that since this happens when the throttle is open that maybe whilst travelling up hill something in the intercooler is blocking the air flow.

I realise that this is a long shot as you should know if somthing was in the intake piping but...

I "HAD" this problem with a high flowed RB25 turbo ( T3/T4 internals ) that GCG made up for me. Used to build boost and then start rapidly choofing ( surging ). When I got it back off them after the 3rd time, I just sold it as opposed to trying it out again, purchased a genuine HKS GT25/35 and hey presto............. Problem solved !!

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Strange your posting about this being an issue. Move the harness or change your wheels or run more camber etc. Have the thing not touch the thing so it doesn't destroy the thing.  Short answer, no. Slightly longer answer, the factory fuel gauge is measuring resistance. You need to wire in the FPG fuel level sender into the original factory fuel level sender wiring.  I drew you a picture to explain this one The factory strainer is quite long, reaching down into the bottom of the tank. Safe bet your aftermarket fuel pump has a little baby sized strainer that probably doesn't even point down towards the bottom of the thank.  Solution, move the pump lower down in the tank, or fit a longer strainer, or do both. I did both, I've run my tank down to 5L remaining and the car still drove fine.

      Is r33 gtr steering wheel the same as the gtst?

      S2/3 GT-R is the same as S2 GTS-t The SRS airbags module in under the centre console. The S1/S1.5 GTS-t and S1 GT-R had the module built into the steering wheel. FWIW, I have a S3 GT-R wheel in my S2 GTS-t shit box. Same airbag plug, airbag light goes on then off, meaning all systems are go. S3 GT-R has red stitching, that's about it.

      Dumb question, but why would it matter if the wheel came off a car with hicas or not?

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Hey to anyone that reads this, long time lurker first time posting, sorry if it’s been answered before but I’ve been looking for nearly a year now for answers. ive got a 25det neo in an r32 that works awesome when it works (made 500whp on 21psi) but works 45% of the time, 1st issue there’s a harness that runs under the passengers side front fender that my tire keeps rubbing through and one wire seems to power the fuel pump even though I’ve done the relay “mod” some people like to call it, and when it does rub through it kills the car, yes next time I’m with the car I want to take the fender off and try tuck the harness well out of the way but I’d also like to try and by pass this mysterious wire as well lol, also wouldn’t mind getting power from the alternator as I’ve read it supplies the pump with 13v ? But no idea where to run the power wire too. 2nd issue, when replacing my fuel pump and fuel hanger I managed to break the factory fuel level sender leaving me with no fuel gauge, I’d like to buy the fpg fuel level sender for r32/s13 but the plug it comes with confuses me, I’ve got a detschwerks x1 fuel hanger which has light + pump - level + pump + and a ground, I’m no auto sparky but I’m wondering if I can cut the plug off the fuel level sender and wire the negative to the pump negative and wire the positive to the level positive to get a fuel gauge back ?🥴 3rd and final issue, the reason I want a fuel gauge is because whenever it’s below half a tank, it fuel starves like crazy and runs like a bag of shit even without doing a pull or sloshing the fuel round in the tank, I’d also like to fix this but have no idea what’s causing it, I’ve got a dw420 and a dead head fuel setup meaning the fuel is regulated before it gets to the engine, my only theory is that the return line is to close to the pickup on the pump and when it’s at half a tank the return line is causing the pump to cavitate enough to cause fuel pressure issues, that or the pump isn’t low enough in the tank which I would find strange considering I can’t find a single thing online about it, also if ya wondering how I figured out it happens at half a tank without a fuel gauge, I waited until it started happening and went and filled up and the car took exactly 30 litres every time I tested it, if ya managed to read through this mess I appreciate that and any recommendations , cheers

      ChatGPT is trash and lies about things I would not expect it to lie about considering many things it's wrong about are very easily verified with google. The S3 R33 GTR shares its steering wheel with R33 GTSTs of the same production year. Part number is 48430-26U17. I'm guessing you have to get it from a car that came with HICAS though, the ER33 is 48430-26U18, but the HR33 diagrams note that part number is still leather vs 48430-26U13 which is not leather-wrapped. They all use the same airbags, so if you need another one you can get it off basically any same year R33 or Stagea.
