Hey

im having major dilemas with my RB26DETT R32 GTR.

bad idle. no power sometimes.. power curve not smooth. drop out completely. and sometimes goes into safe mode and wont rev over 2500rpm. this doesnt always happen.. mostly after warming up and after comin off the highway.

i usually would pull over shut off and push the plug in and shes good for a while more.

the top AFM plug was faulty so i replaced the connectors yesterday and that worked for a day. but it dropped out again today after 30+kms on the way home.. so i drove it home in safe mode. played with connector.. re insulated it and pushed it back in. now shes fine fine. i even wrapped it with alfoil to stop the heat from getting to it. took it for a qucik blast and so far so good. :starwars:

NOW.

my oil pressure guage shows just above zero! between zero and the first bar!.. :confused: im fairly alarmed bout this. think it is a electric problem.

anyone able to help me please. its no fun driving and lossing power like that!.. please help?.

my question is. why is it dropping power.. ther is a GOOD connection to the afm. could it be AFM fault? and why is my oil pressure so low (idling) not like this this morning.

im appreciative of any help.

mark. :)

my oil use to do that,unplug it and clean the shit out might fix. its abit of a bastard to get 2 under the plenum if i remember right.about the other stuff im not real sure,maybe take it to a good machanic

    • I wouldn't be using the seats a lot since it's on Historic rego and will not be driven a lot, however I also don't want to fork out 3k for something that won't last. Havent looked at BRZ seats, aiming for something of the same era I did speak to him on the phone once, and I do see your point haha. How many kms do you think you drove before they started wearing out? Have you got a link to the ones you purchased?   Thanks for the replies fellas. 
    • I bought my Bride reps from Crank Motorsport. He is, um, a trifle disorganised. I would have to look back at the e-mails to make sure I got it right, but I think he sent me normal fabric ones when I ordered the "Alcantara" ones. So he had to pay for shipping 3x and I'm sure that f**ked him off big time. And asking technical questions where nuanced English is required is a no go. It's simple English only. And....should I have bought the Alcantara ones? Well, as it turns out, they are great, feel great, etc, but the fabris wore through on the point of the waist bolster in <2 years. Must have caught a rip from a rivet on jeans or shorts, or something like that. So now I have to patch it somehow. A bit shit. My fault, ultimately, because it is Chinesium Faux Alcantara, not the real thing, and it turns ot that it has the tear resistance of a soggy tissue. But the seats and the reails are great. I probably should have gotten the R34 style ones, and now that they price is up in that ridiculous sort of number, I could have sold them for a profit!
    • Another recco is to just let it rest for a while and go back and reconnect later.
    • keep an extinguisher nearby? or even better, take it out of the car to charge?
    • 100% hear you. I won't defend them but I will defend my ability to work twice as hard to keep them running. 🤣
