Situation: workshop with good experience with Skylines and all their associated problems. Has Nissan Conzult software and 4 channel scope.

Vehicle: Untouched R34 GTR with 55,000km on the clock. standard everything!!!!

Problem: running rich like you wouldn't believe at idle and light throttle cruize.

Work done or checked: New Air filter, cleaned AFM's, replaced one dead O2 sensor ( thought we had it but no )dropped exhaust to check for blockage, return line off the fuel reg into bucket to check for return fuel line blockage > ok, New plugs, new coils, checked and flow tested injectors > Mint, checked fuel pressure > mint, checked TPS sensor > mint, checked factory blow off valves for leaks etc etc > mint. Used a can of brake cleaner looking for air leaks > got high :) but no leaks found. No fault codes, reseting ECU makes no difference. Checked fuel pump voltage regulator function > mint. Checked factory ECU for any mods > none.

Losing many hair follicles by this stage.

I believe all we have left is the ECU but this would be a rare fault.

Has anyone had experience with a R34 GTR with this problem, I realise the ECU is a much more clever unit than the earlier R32,33's and I think its almost like the engines going rich like a fault condition exists between sensor inputs making the fuel settings pig rich for safetys sake but I'm buggered if I know what.

Only odd thing is that the car goes fine when cold in the morning for the 1st 10mins then it all goes belly up once its warmed up.

Any ideas?

Well i would have said fuel reg, but you say its right.

Was it just checked @ idle, or driving on the street?

At idle and free reving, unfortunately we don't have a 4WD dyno to run it up on.....

Does anyone know more about the fuel strategy and limp modes on the R34 GTR'S and what activates them...

Just a thought, but try running it without the O2 sensors plugged in for a while. Mine is supposed to eat them (OK 260rwkw on stock computer) and runs best without.

Also could be a leak in an IC hose as it will sense air going through and fuel for it, but not be delivering the air.

Have you tried dumping the fuel from tank.......If the car has been sitting for a while

the fuel can go off.

Was it driving fine and this happened or has it always had this problem.?

Cheers :P

I had a similar problem with my r32. The fuel reg was checked many times and was found to be working alright. But the problem was that it was intermittently working. It would be worth while trying it with a different reg...

Put the gauge up under the bonnet so you can see it from the drivers seat, go for a drive around the block and slowly come up onto boost.

You certainly dont need a dyno to check that, its very easy and basic to do :rofl:

Slap it on, drive, see what it does, i think you might be pleasantly surprised to find it isnt happy.

I'll wait to hear back... but if your only idle/free rev that wont show a stuffed reg all the time

      Pre-empting heat management  1. The Kraken manifold will be ceramic coated 2. Just purchased some peel and stick heat shielding stuff from car builders, I'll cover some of the firewall behind the dump and a little on the cam cover, this will be done prior to installation as I have ample room to get where I need to now before that realestate has more bits in the way, I'm also planning to modify the OEM heat shield to go back on, but that won't happen until after installation so I know where to hack it up, I'll also cover it with some some peel and stick to neaten it up after the hacking 3. As the dump is stainless with a flex joint coating isn't really a option, and wrapping isn't recommended for a stainless dump, so once it is installed I'll grab some shielding from car builders to cover the dump, as it has some stand off, it "shouldn't" cause any issues and it "should" just keep the radiant heat away from " melty engine bay stuff" Not for heat management, but I've grabbed some more black crinkle coat to paint all the shiny intake pipes, I'll pick the pipe work up prior to installation and use the paint booth and big oven at work to cure them, I'll then wrap them with some bubble wrap so they stay nice during installation

      a31 chassis pinout/cluster wiring layout

      By imonpcp · Posted

      YO- have been searching and searching for an a31 chassis plug pinout, or someone who knows which wire is for tach.  ceffy was flooded past dash during a hurricane.  having an electrical gremlin appear. tach is wonky reading consistent with a short, and on occasion the right side of my speedo lighting will flicker just for a second then go back to normal.  if no pinout available does anyone know if the tach harness opens or branches anywhere behind the dash? im suspecting a possible root behind the radio as there are more shorts in that area on the accessory loop.
