hi guys..

so i picked up my new to me r32 gtst yesterday... very happy with it, even though not as tidy as i had hoped

driving through sydney... no worries.. has the little stall out problem like all rb's but no dramas otherwise.

get it on the freeway though... cruising back to newcastle at 110kms/h... it would cut out... exactly like it was running out of fuel. hitting the throttle wouldnt do anything but i could get two throttle pushes in before it would come good, and then it would do it again... and then it would come good for a while longer.

in the hour and 30 min it was on the freeway, it did it about 4 times.. temps and pressures are all ok, it happened in 5th gear, up a slight hill, but even on a descent... and just as it was coming up to atmospheric pressure.. not boosting or vacuum. aka, 0 on the stock boost guage.

the car is stock apart from a pod, 3" turbo back exhaust, and a hybrid fmic. thats seriously all it has.. no boost controller, no a/m bov.

i dont know much about the car yet and im not as familiar with the problems of an rb20 like i am with the rb25, but the service history is up to date, and from what the previous owner said, he has got any problems fixed up asap.

i have a few ideas as to what it could be.. afm, bov leaking, air leak somewhere, overfuelling due to fmic, coilpacks, plugs, earthing problem, ecu problem, or even battery problem.

but its late now and i cant be stuffed looking at it, so i figured id put it on here and check the responses, then have a look tomorrow.

cheers

yeh ill check that too, thanks.

the problem isnt soo much what it is... its the randomness that it does it.... if it did it every time it boosted.. or every 40* day, or when its raining or anything... as long as its consistant... but this is not, i drove it out to east maitland and back, bout an hour trip all up... didnt make a peep... same running conditions as freeway.

grrrrr.... i hate these intermittant problems!!

cheers

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
