my NA r32 does alot of wierd things. When the engine is cold and the water temp guage is at its lowest, the car jerks and it gets hard to put the car into gear...but after a few mins when the water temp guage goes up even a tiny bit, the car acts normal...

Also the car would randomly jerk. What happens is im driving normally than the car would just pull back and stop accerlating. After it does this, if i try to go past 2500rpm, the car would jerk violently. When i put it in nuetral, the car would idle at 2000rpm. This might be a problem with my AFM or my gearbox, cause a loud knocking sound is coming from my gearbox where when i accelerate the knocking sound will get louder and when i down gear it would get softer.

anyone have any idea how fix these problems?

Definitely sounds like your AFM needs replacing.

About the 'gearbox' issue, one or both of your tail-shaft cv joints might be buggered, or possibly the centre bearing which is located half way inbetween the tail-shaft might be gone. My tail-shaft had huge amounts of play in it and a knocking sound under acceleration and deceleration. It turned out to be the cv joints AND centre bearing all shat itself.

I ended up getting a custom 1 piece tail-shaft made up to resolve all of those problems.

Tailshaft problem? The car has a welded differantial, does that tell you anything?

      It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!

      Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months

      That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.

      I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
