Firstly, hello Melbournites, my name is Adam and i've moved here from Perth last week. i have a little problem, my r33 is a sick backfiring fuel guzzling got-no-power farting mess at the moment.

o2 sensor has been changed, wiring has been checked, new plugs etc etc... 3 different places in perth have no idea what's wrong since it's a sporadic problem (ALWAYS brought on by driving on boost for a few minutes)

i'm living in heidelberg.

anyone recommend any shops that would be good for this sort of thing? i've found a few places that look likely in the yellow pages but they are all miles away.

thanks heaps in advance guys

my fuel bill and my sanity depend on you!!

M.I. (Mirror Image) Automotive in Bulleen always serviced my R33, I would highly recommend them. You could almost walk there from Heidelberg. They'll also chuck the car on the dyno for free after the service to see what it's making, tuning is obviously extra.

Yep have a SAFC and the same problem happens when it's on or when it's in "omit" mode, so we've ruled that out. fuel pressures are ok, seems to be something electircal coz it cuts out for a few seconds on the freeway then comes back to life. still makes good power on the dyno when it's behaving, which is becoming less and less frequently. it's an intermittent problem, making it even more annoying.

*sigh*

anyways, wish me luck, and thanks for the help guys. and say hi if you see a WA-plated silver r33 around!

      Hi all,   I have been a member here for years and am back to owning an R35.  It's my car and thought members of the community might enjoy sharing my journey.  I am definitely here to join the conversation.  If sharing this content isn't appropriate or it belongs somewhere else, I am happy to have it deleted or moved...

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      Data looks rock solid? I'm assuming you jabbed the throttle twice OR once? the TPS voltage moves up and down twice, however you've mentioned you did it once.

      Having not watched the videos, I'm unsure, but this may be better suited to the importing thread?

      Update on this situation: (Forgot to put in my previous post that I bought another brand new pressure gauge and fuel shows the same 50psi) I've deleted all the aftermarket immobilizers and turbo timer shyt and placed all factory wiring back to normal. The problem is still the same and nothing changed, but atleast it's a bit more tidier under the steering wheel. I've also siphoned out all the old fuel and then poured new batch of BP98 fuel (about 15L) into the tank. Nothing changed. Still the same idle. I also changed out the MAP vac line with a new one and, still the same.  So 2 days ago, I thought fk it. I'll just change out the fuel rail and injectors with another set that I know worked well in my brother's R34 a while back. That other fuel rail has the exact same Xspurt 640cc as what I have right now. So I changed it out to that other fuel rail and injectors (new O-rings) and injector harness. Put everything back together, started the engine, 464906286_1624569924763105_5179888796065901094_n.mp4   and yeah... still the same 50psi and idle problem. 🫠 I can also hear each of injector's solenoids running when I put a screw driver to it and have the other end to my ear. I might get a noid light just to confirm pulsasion but yeah, very strange that both fuel rails and injectors put out 50psi.  31-10-2024.csv I've attached it here. I started recording, then started the engine and let it idle with no throttle, then at the end I applied a little throttle and then stopped recording.    So, now idk. I'm going to see if swapping out the brand new R35 coils to my old splits fires will change anything. 🤷‍♂️

      Hey mate, nice work on the car. Just a quick note, people generally don't like it when you use the forums to dump and run to advertise your YouTube content. If you're gonna stick around and join in the conversation then great, but if not this might not be the best place for you.
