Hi Guys

I have just recently bought a 90 model R32 GTR it ran well when i bought it home but now it feels like its starving of fuel about 4000 revs below that runs like a dream but when the turbo's really start to work it doesn't want to rev like it should and shutters a bit one of my mates thats a mechanic said it had a bad batch of fuel so i run the tank out and changed the fuel filter and its still doing it.

Any help on this problem would be great the motor is pretty much standard so is pretty responsive and goes really well to 4000-4500 revs than just starts to play up.

Help please

Kel

where did you purchase this car, private or dealer?

it could be a no# of things, you sure this mate of yours is a mechanic and gave you a half arsed response like that?

so far from what your telling me...it could be:

Fuel pumps could be faulty and not supply enough fuel...

the Ingnition systm could make the car sluggish if at fault.

Check your ignition leads and plugs whilst your there and let us know

I've had a bad batch of fuel a long time ago on one of my previous car and it really was noticeable. I remember past 6000rpms it just wouldn't want to go anymore. But it also affected the entire rev range not just a part of it.

Does sound like a pump/ignition problem.

Did 32 GTRs have knock sensors on the engine ? If it detects crap fuel, the computer will start retarding ignition at mid to high rpms when you're giving it.

before you do any of that stuff check all your cooler pipes for splits and loose clamps. mate had same symptoms, above 4000 shudder no power etc, was a cooler pipe clamp coming loose. When it hit boost it'd pop open, shudder etc, then when you back off it closes again. simple stuff before you mess with the sensors and other assorted expensive bits :P

      ugently need expert / experienced opinion

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There are certain tasks, like replacing head gaskets, where it is very much best to already know what you are doing, and if you are not already an expert, then the next best thing is to have an expert around to help it get done. Little annoying checks and steps that are easy to forget or not interpret the results of properly, etc etc. It is hard to convey that to someone as a lesson prior to taking on a job, because there can be a whole list of "if you see this then it means that", or "if this is what you find then you will need to do these other 4 steps first". All the little bits of knowledge around sealant choice (ie, sealant at all? or no sealant? sealant only in certain parts of the gasket? sealant for this type of gasket but not that type of gasket? etc etc) cleanliness checks and methods, surface straightness and finish checks and methods, etc etc, all combine to mean that people who have done many of the same type of job will struggle less to get a good result than someone who hasn't done it before. I've been around this stuff since forever. But I will still consult with my expert(s) before taking on the big stuff with higher risk profile.

      Well if I end up having to do the head gasket I will certainly find the necessary tools and instructions before beginning... Let's hope it won't come around.   Definitely. Depends on the job but I think "if you want it done right, do it yourself" applies almost every time

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Can you at least move to a location without so many ladders, black cats and mirrors precariously propped up ready to be knocked down? Or buy yourself a 1 ton bulker bag of salt to drag around with you. Just, you know, sling it over your shoulder?

      RB25 Oil Pump Regulator Washer???

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Meh, what's the worst that can happen? If is is supposed to have a washer, and: the spring retainer seals reasonably well on the surface, maybe just allowing a little bleed of oil out, and the spring does not coil bind when compressed that little extra bit, then the end result will be slightly higher relief pressure setpoint, and no other noticeable effects.

      RB25 Oil Pump Regulator Washer???

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Weirdly I see a flat washer on aftermarket pumps but as you said it doesn't seem like new OEM pumps have it. EPC doesn't break out the regulator as a separate component either. I'm guessing if the pump came that way it's safe to use as-is.
