im having fun with this car.. just ordered a TD05 and PFC and now more problems happen..

driving along(car is a Type M R32 GTST btw), and was at the lights.. in first, took off normally, jumped into second and the car started jumping. didnt hear any crunching or weird noises from box/clutch, more like it was ECU?

basically, its like ive lost all boost!

i would get to 2500-3500 before the car would jump and idle weird... normal idle went from 700 to about 1300rpm... i would have to go from first to second, and stay below 2500rpm to be able to drive it back..

any ideas what this could be? :S i want this fixed before GOR!!

its a standard Type M R32 manual gearbox, wtih nismo short shifter.. thats it... only other mod ive done recently was front mount but i checked the piping and it all seems alright?

Check under the oil cap to see if the oil is milky.

Also check the water in the radiator to see if its oily.

Check the dipstick also, see how the oil level is, and how good the oil looks.

Is it over heating at all?

the first set of issues sounds just like AFM... could be dirty or need resoldering. if you have someone with the same one, borrow to test, else search the forum for +solder +AFM. i just did mine its not hard.

bubbles in the radiator liquid could just be some air escaping the system.. did you replace your coolant recently ? does the car lose water ?

Maybe fuel pump? This happened in my r33 and it was the fuel pump.

Don't think a dying fuel pump will make too much variance on idle. In my past experience a dying fuel pump makes the car slightly hard to start, hesitates in the rev range and also pings if its turbo.

The more you think about it, the more it sounds like an AFM issue.

time to have a little play right now.. i hope it is AFM... we are going to clean the air flow metre, and check all hoses and piping... if its a dodgy afm, no loss, im getting a Z32 :P ive been persuaded that its air flow metre/piping so ill see how it goes and get back to you :D

  • 1 month later...

hey, i had the same problem with my r33 s2,

after i just got my apexi neo afc fitted, 2 days after it did the same thing as u described!!!

i had to reset the afc to drive..and it was fine..

went to the tuners 2 days later, found out my 02 sensor was dying, or dead already..lol

needed a new one..and has bein fine ever since...

so try disconnecting the 02 sensor..

and c if it makes a difference..

but i think my afm is on its way out having trouble starting wen cold..bein cold latly for the last 2 days, and my car struggles only wen very cold..i think either to do wit my afm, or im to lean for idle..lol

but i cleaned my acc valve the other week..look lik brand new inside..and idle has bein really really good..

i cleaned my afm, wit electical contact cleaner,looks cleaner

and i cleaned my acc valve wit carby cleaner..and keep on wiping in it! takes a while..but makes a hell of a diff.!!

so try doing these, and check ur o2 sensor too...

just checked the radiator while car was on (car now sits there and idles from 700, and slowly SLOWLY VERY SLOWLY goes up and sits on 2000rpm), and there are bubbles?

gasket? :P

This exact same thing happened to me on sunday night. I had just put a 3" cat back on and was going for a spin (my pc had just broken to zzz)and the car started stalling and playing up so i pulled over and fiddled with the AFM wires until the idle returned to normal (i had just put on pod filters) i also had what looked like froth coming out of the radiator (as opposed to bubbles) but the car wasn't overheating and was dead on center

Only problem with mine is now it's making a noise (not overly loud, probably about as loud as the injectors but a bit less harsh), screw driver indicates it's coming from the head, so idk what happened but i'm guessing when the AFM frigged up it over stressed something and something broke or was badly worn (it still drives ok)

Just my luck, 5 days till i can finally drive it and it farks up along with the pc and the job i quit on friday ._.

Thats your car going into R&R mode (limp mode) so you can drive it home without detonating the engine. You'll need to reset the ECU and do a self-test diagnostic, this will tell u whats broken i.e. as above 02 sensor etc.

I believe :P

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
