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. :)

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
