Hey guys, recently my r33 gtst series 2 has started to stuggle a lil on cold starts. Revs fluctuate a bit but it sorts out and idols fine then all is good :)

Ive also noticed that the last week or so ive been getting exhaust soot on my rear bar? im not sure if this is all related or what

Tonight i went to go out, car started stuggled a lil like it has been but was then fine, drove around the cauldersack before the car started to jolt and stall! :down:

Now when i try to start it the engine cranks over revs to about 1100rpm then cuts out. Sometimes it will rev a bit /\/\/\/ but then cut out still?

Im not sure what the problem is :) tried searching but couldnt find a similar problem.

Please help guys

no need to reply! got it running this morning, somethings up with the AFM. About 6 weeks ago i re did the dry solder joints and its been running fine ever since.

This morning i disconneceted it and the car started fine first go :down: pluged it back it and now its working??? not sure if it just wasnt plugged in properly at first or not?

i imagine if that was the case it still woulda started though(considering it started when i took it out!!!) Will just have to keep an eye on it.

Cheers

Ok so car is not good as i thought! wont go, starts drives a bit and revs are just all over the show.

I redid al the solder joints about 6weeks ago? ive just taken it out and im looking at it atm and it looks fine. all the joints are nice as!

what else could it be? spark plugs? :s sorry im a newbie

Cars now starting without the AFM in it...but try driving and it jolts when u get anywhere near 2000rpm

do others agree with b1 mr fanny?

i need to get some contact cleaner 2moro. The car actually gets to about 2500 before it starts to 'misfire' not sure wat word to use for it. So is that how it works? when the afm isnt in the car can start but not rev over X? it starts fine without the afm everytime. starts with the afm just struggles more but in both cases u cant rev over 2500

Wells just thought id let everyone know that i gave my AFM another clean! redid all the solder joints again. this time it seemed to actually work!

cars now running better than ever in some ways atleast :cheers:

With the afm back in its starting fine! Not sure if anyone saw my other thread but ive had troubles with the car backfiring over 5000rpm....afm fixed that. :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 😛

      I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.

      It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)

      But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.

      GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
