hey guys, have this problem with my r32 gtst, ill be driving along and change gear, then when i go to accelerate again the engine gets to about 2500rpm and then dies back down to about 1000rpm before kicking in again. it doesnt happen all the time only every now and again, doesnt matter how much fuel is in the tank or what temp the engine is. also if this happens and i come to a stop the car is idling at around 2000rpm, and if i turn the car off then back on again it seems to go away most of the time. ive talked to a mechanic and he said its probly the computer but then i talked to another mechanic and he said i may have to put the fuel pump (bosch 040) on a seperate relay circuit as there may be too much current running through the computer and it cuts out. would li8ke to get it fixed asap as i dont know if its doing any damage to things. mods on the car are splitfire coilpacks about 8 months old, front mount from a supra about 18 months old and the fuel pump about 6 months old. any info would be great thanks Dale

Sounds like an Electrical Problem

Where u located

and Have you got access to the Diagnostic software to check the sensors and check whats happening in live mode

Last time i had this problem.The coil pack earth was loost and cutting the engine in and out but as for the hi reving sounds like vacum leak.

have you got a boost guage.What vacuum you running,Have you had the car on a dyno.

havent had the car on a dyno trying to fault find it. it doesnt happen all the time but ill check the earths on the coilpacks tomorrow. als o was watching the boost guage tonite and it was happing right as the turbo started forcing air in, ie as soon as the guage hit '0' bar. ill go through it on the weekend and replace all the vacuum lines incase its something like that. thanks again

anyone have anythin more to share?

when you say afmeter is fine, how did you check it?

it is common that skyline afmeters intermittantly fail, due to break in the elec's inside the afmeter. pull it apart carefully and check the solder joints.

cheers

I had exactly the same sounding problem. It was intermitant, and turned out to be the AFM. As DVS32R stated, the solder in the connector box gets dry socket and lifts off every now and then. This is exactly what mine had done.

You can open the box with a stanly knife and resolder, but easier to get a new known good AFM.

There is a tut somewhere on the site on how to opon em up and resolder.

Good luck

Hey mate

my car is doing the same shit like cutting out at random times and the car comes to a haul even. it gives the shits so much, had it on the diagnostist twice n it said AFM error. got a 2nd hand AFM off a dude on the this forum n i still had the same problems and error code. dont know how good the actual AFM i got 2nd was. but my cars back at the dealers at the moment getting looked at so, hopefully someone will shed some light on this

      The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more.

      R32 GTR Lost All Interior Power to IGN Accessories

      By Kirby7887 · Posted

      Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.

      Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
