Hey guys.

I recently did the switch in my r32 GT-R from Power FC and MAFs to a Haltech Platinum Pro. Had it tuned and it ran a treat at Power Cruise last weekend. Come Tuesday it all went to shit. Every time I come onto full boost around 5000rpm it misfires really badly to the point where I have to keep the revs below that. Strangely enough too as soon as it misses and backfires, my exhaust temp light comes on and stays on til I turn the car off. Pretty sure the sensor for that is in the cat and that was cut out ages ago.

Anybody every experience anything similar to this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Jamil.

The cat warning light is used as the engine check light for the R32.

If your using the Haltech software goto;

Setup > Outputs > Main > Factory Outputs > "Check engine light" and check the setting.

If you need the software it can be downloaded here.

Problem sorted. Bad fuel. Opened the back of the fuel rail to check fuel pressure and found some white pasty gunk inside. Know the servo and still have the receipt for the fuel. Those guys are paying for my injector and fuel rail clean. Glad I have a decent ECU, would have been a much more costly endeavor had it not cut the fuel off.

What was the code? Was it a code for white pasty gunk in the rail cause if it was I need me one of these haltechs!!

    • For the record, I hate the colour. Even if I'll never see it again, I know its in there.
    • This is another issue I'm fixing. This little valve stops all the oil from draining to the sump when the engine is turned off. What happens eventually is that the engine is a little noisy and has the oil pressure light on for a few seconds after turning it on. Basically it takes a few seconds to build the pressure when all the oil has drained. This valve is a non serviceable part and is attached to the oil filter housing, BMW suggests to replace the entire housing if this valve fails.  As it turns out this valve can be removed and that means you can get an aftermarket replacement, which I did. The failure, for me at least is that the valve doesn't seat properly after a while, which I've demonstrated. The new one is a ball end and always seats properly. 
    • Welp don't know if this is good but I can hear a sizzling sound in my battery Hope I didn't fry it. Turns out a bad battery in the multi meter will give a false reading (likely what happened when I said I had 15x volts), swapped the battery and monitoring now. I'm hoping that sizzling sound is just the equlisation charging
    • Yeah I'm happy to talk to whoever, I don't want to take ownership or even manage it if they don't want but I can probably help with hosting on the sau setup. It's a great resource and should be protected.
    • So, got some bits..   New oil filter housing gasket (main problem I'm trying to fix -see leak above)  While you're in there's: New belts, pulley and tensioners.  Vanos oil line New oil drain valve New water pump and pulley  New fumoto valve (all my cars have these). Some of this stuff seems ok now that I've pulled it out but I still have no idea how old it all is.  The belts looked fine and then I noticed this. Like somebody has hooked it with a pick.
