hi guys just got my r32 last friday :)

89 r32 gtst, fairly stock only mods are k&n air filter and blitz 3 inch cat back

and a silly amount of gauges

apparently wen it hit 60.. on about 4,000 rpm in 3rd gear.. it started to shake and wouldnt go up..

until it shook for about 3 seconds then it continued :(

previous owner had a boost controller running which was taken out for rwc

wondering what could be the problem.

any help would be much appreciated

cheers :)

ryan :)

With the rb30det on the rb20det std ecu I couldn't see a rich and retard until the friggin thing pinged..

It would ping, go slightly rich, drop 10degree's from ign. timing then recover, power would start to climb than BANG fuel cut. :)

Easiest way is to throw it on the dyno for a power run, give you an indication of afr's and start from there. Cheap as chips.

I lost count on the number of times I posted the same thing.

As Dave with the bad hair up there said, probably the coils and/or spark plugs.

It might be cheap to go on a dyno, but it’s even cheaper to check the coils and plugs.

You have yourself a 17 year old car basically.

It has an engine that has been heated and cooled almost every single day for 17 years.

The plastic and rubber bits in the engine bay are bound to be brittle.

So do this easy/cheap possible fix.

I personally think that everyone on SAU (who doesn’t have after market coil packs) should do this as a preventative measure.

Here..

Post number 5 in this thread..

I will do this on my next skyline the weekend I get it even if it doesn’t have any misfire/stutter/hesitation problems.

And when I do, I will take some damn photo’s on how to and post it here.

Yes well I guess I assume others will also check plugs and the usual bits before hitting the dyno.

I always do plugs, check coils, check for vacuum leaks, check all ic piping clamps (slowly they are being replaced with t-bolt), replace fuel filter. Common sense really.

Oh and if its being tuned ensure there's more than half a tank in it. :laugh:

bahahaha...

I am your elder mate..

in probably more ways than 1.

it's funny.

I joined here when I got my silver R32

then I sold it and bought a VR4, then a S14, then a Barina (hahaha.. yes after the 200 was pinched), then the R32 gts4 sedan, now no car at the moment and I'm still here..

LOL

back on topic though..

plugs and coils Mr Reds...

first of all thanks for replies guys :wub:

my mate took it for a drive today, change to the right tyre pressure,

chuck in the boost controller.. seems to run fine now

ill probably get it checked and and dynoed by mechanic to be safe

thanks alot of the help/replies guys.. :)

      Unless things that you want to do include reference to time. Simple Boolean logic is only good for digital inputs or analogues that have been thresholded into digitals. But unless you also have a timer function available (which would more ideally be located inside the program, rather than being forced to implement a timer outside the ECU and bring it in as a seperate digital for every time delay you want to implement), then you can't do some of the things that you might want to do. My PLC ladder logics are obviously littered with program blocks, because that's easier than building it all in ladder gates, but the most frequent of those program blocks is a simple timer, because you actually can't otherwise do that in ladder at all.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      Log voltage. I'm suspecting the alternator. Or even maybe a bad earth somewhere. ie, seeing as it is rev dependent, I am thinking it is alternator dependent.

      Yeah so N1 and any other larger than factory pump are pretty famous for pumping the sump dry...obviously we don't often get to spend 20 or 30 seconds at high rpm/full noise on the road so I'd still be suspicious that is what is happening here.

      You are also getting pressure dips on gear shifts. They're just not dipping as far, but they're dipping quite below the amount of oil pressure you should be seeing, for how much RPM drops.   It quite little could be the oil pressure relief valve is starting to stick open a little/is slow to close.

      Can you log battery voltage, and TPS, and put all four of those into a single image (even as split graphs)?   The oil pressure drops aren't following RPM as such. I'm intrigued if you may have a ground loop between different sensors. With the engine not running, log your sensors and for example cycle the throttle pedal. See if any sensor values flutter or move about. This won't be a perfect test either as the ECU won't be cycling all of its actuators like it would be while running. What EMTRON do you have? Do you have a link to the wiring guide for that ECU?
