Hi guys,



Seeing as i had no interest or replies in another section, i thought id try my luck in here!



Been on the forums for a while and just recently (last week) bought a R33 GTR v-spec with a few bolt ons and Power Fc. Love it to bits and im very happy with it.



After owning it for a week i came across my first problem. It had a slight intermittent stutter while cruising along but but your boot into it and it was boosting fine.



Then the next night, it started playing up and wouldn't idle and was hesitate and want to switch off while cruising at low speeds. I looked long and hard through the forums after finally getting the car home which was a pain, we changed the air flow meters as one was pretty rooted and the other looked like it had been replaced at some stage.



This fixed the intermittent stutter i was having while crusing but did not fix the idling issue. We tried to adjust the idle on the AAC but that didn't work as planned.



More research on the forums (thank god for SAU :D), I took off the AAC and to my findings, it was pretty dirty and the spring which is controlled by the solenoid was very sticky. I gave it a clean out with carby cleaner as i didn't really have the time to strip it down into pieces like the DIY thread on here, put it back together and fired her up and set the idle up with the help of the hand controller to get the right revs and it was idling beautifully.



This morning cold start was a bit different. I let it warm up a bit, took off down the street and as i came to a complete stop, it stalled. Started up fine again and i was on my merry way. When the car was warmed up and everything was at operating temps, it was fine and never stalled.



Its got me stuffed. Is there another sensor that may be faulty or do i really need to strip the AAC down completely to clean it up? Is there a way to check for any error codes using the Power Fc?



Any help would be great.



Thanks,



George

    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
    • Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
    • Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.
