Wondering if anyone can help me diagnose my datascan logs.

Car is a series 1 R33 GTR, totally stock including air box.

Fuel filter has been changed within the last 5000km.

Iridium plugs 13000km ago.

I'm getting an occassional stumbling on very light throttle.

I've logged some data with datascan, enclosed. To view a

graph of it, if you don't have datascan, you can pull it into

Excel as a CSV file, and graph the relevant points.

(File was saved as .txt because forum would not allow .log)

I've also enclosed a screenshot of part of the data.

In the screenshot, as indicated by the checkboxes,

top graph is RPM, AFM1, Speed

bottom graph is AFM2, Throttle, Timing

As you can see at the vertical line in the graphs, the car

is under very light throttle, constant 40kmh and both the

AFMs are cycling like crazy, and the A/F ratio is going

cycling between lean to rich very quickly.

I've already cleaned out both AFMs with electrical contact

cleaner. At first I thought one of the AFMs would be having the dry

solder problem, but surely not both at once? Is there some other

factor which could be causing this cycling? The rest of the AFM parts

of the graph look ok, I think?

Assuming the AFMs aren't both stuffed (it would be quite a coincidence!),

could it be some kind very mild surging happening which is causing

the air in the AFM to accelerate and decelerate really quickly, giving

those readings? If so, what could be causing the mild surging? Injectors?

I know about the AFM repair post, and I'm able to resolder the AFMs, but I'm

just not keen on opening and ruining the two nice and original AFM boxes without

some better proof that both are misbehaving at the same time! Surely if it was a

dry solder problem they would not give the exact same readings at the same time.

Just looking for someone with an experienced eye who can share ideas. Let

me know if there is any other data that I should log. Supported datascan fields are:

    • Oh ok that makes so much sense. Thanks for clearing it up!
    • And these modern "environmentally friendly" EV vehicles also run on the same smoke! When the engine, wiring, or batteries let it escape it also stops running!
    • Yeah - I found the same information too.. 30% open is like 85% of flow etc. So it's probably going to be minor if not completely imperceptible. I also have a larger pod filter here, will swap that on and see if there's any difference. The hardest part is finding a place to uh, test this. It's quite noticable just how much having ducting to the otherwise completely open pod cools the intake temps down. It's better boxed, or shielded but driving for 30 seconds really makes it plummet to near ambient temperatures. I recall in the past when I was a RB land and had a nice flowing airbox -  - Then I took the lid off and put a pod there, and gained 9 psi of boost and about 60kw from the restriction I didn't know I had - with the controller at same duty cycle. However finding people using over the radiator intakes having similar KPA drops at WOT on built setups makes me think there restriction could be the exhaust or potentially the headers. Either way though, there's no real estate to play with and nothing that can realistically be done about it. The original dyno plot without the airbox, and the larger pod had a better curve. It was later I added the ducting and airbox, and a smaller pod to make it fit in there...
    • That's not completely truthful now is it? Any flex fuelled factory cars also had the option to run on steam.
    • Yeah so I guess your mechanic would know turnaround better than me....but I would have thought you had access to same day or overnight rack rebuilds there....any big city here in Australia has that service.   There are a couple of o-rings and seals involved, I guess the risk is the part is specific not general. Other option is if you can have it on stands in your garage for a while, steering rack removal is pretty simple (2 mounting brackets, 2 ball joints (separate by undoing the nut to the top of the threads, put a pry bar between the steering arm and control arm to put pressure on it then medium force on the side of the ball joint or top of the nut with a hammer to break it free) and then the trickiest bit is the splines to the steering rack (not too bad to undo, one nut then it slides out, but mark it first so you can reassemble it straight)
