My series 1 r33 skyline with series 1 rb25det is got a problem. It idled rough on a cold start untill I give it some throttle. And randomly cuts out when driving around 2500-3000 rpm. It also stalled while idling last night. I've cleaned the aac valve and air flow meter. I've changed the fuel filter, air filter, o2 sensor, coil packs and put iridium plugs in it and it is still doing it. The cutting out is random as in, one day it won't do it, next day it will and it varies from one quick cut out to 5 or 6 times in a couple of minutes. It is similar to when a car runs out of fuel. Any help would be appreciated.

The afm I got was 70mm off gtr and not 80mm for a 25. Car didn't stall while idling and didn't cut out like normal but surged when accelerating hard so the problem could be afm but yet to justify that when I get the proper one. I'm getting a z32 soon but have read that I can't connect it untill im ready to put my pfc in and get it tuned.

Ok so I got a hold of a new afm to suit. I plugged it in and the car was idling rough. Drove ok but idled rough for a bit, seemed to idle ok after a bit of a drive and warm. I'm yet to drive the car today but Could it be cause the ecu needs to readjust to suit.

The part number on it says its the same as the old one I had and the guy at jap autos says its the right one. It not a jecs or Nissan one, its just a aftermarket one but is brand new. I didn't want to fork out for a jecs when I am putting a z32 on it in a few weeks when I get my new turbo.

this happened to me also, i replaced my air flow meter, it took about 20 mins to really change anything as the car was still running wierd, after it warmed up and started rolling on the freeway , suburban roads and stuff, i realised i had no power cuts or engine stalls, so it was my afm, Most of the idle and stalls point to AFM, i found one cheap, and genuine , look around!

BTW just fyi, aftermarket ones are CRAP, mate had one on his r33 and it didnt last very long and caused him issues, couldnt start the car and kept dieing on him all the time.

Car seems to be running better now but occasionally has a bit of a rough idle and mainly when cold. Also get a bit of a pop/backfire on down shift and in between gear changes when getting into it a bit. Could this be because its an aftermarket afm?

I wasted 2hrs on the dyno today to do what is normally a straightforward tune.

Then i removed the "z32 afm" brand new from ebay and fitted a genuine z32 2nd hand from one of my cars, tuned up perfectly after that.

DO NOT USE COPY AFM's. This is the 2nd time i have wasted time due to them.

Buy a genuine only

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
