Intermittent Problem With R32 Gtst

Hey all :)

I have a problem with my skyline. Only occasionally I will start it and begin to drive.. then when I'm accelerating it seems to lose power and slightly "bunny hop" the bunny hops are not aggressive. it just doesn't seem to be able to get to higher revs. It does happen when it's cold but by the time it's warmed up it still has the problem.as I said it only does it every now and again. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

No mods except for a coke can in the blow off valve (bought like that) :P

Don't know the service history from previous owner. Has had a complete full service. Was happening before I recently got it serviced.. mechanic changed the fuel filter and spark plugs (thinking they were the cause) but problem still persists

It happens at any revs. It happens whenever I accelerate

Found this thread and am bumping it because I have a similar problem. I'll describe it in more detail though.

This happens occasionally, and only early in any drive if it does. Not like right out of my garage but 1 or 2 minutes in. I will probably happen at a frequency of about once every 3 times i drive the car.

Once it happens it will happen until i let it sit out of boost for a while and it will be ok. I even did 5 runs at autocross after this, problem did not crop up.

How violent it is depends on how much throttle i'm using. If I hold it down as i'm trying to accelerate and not let it if it reminds me as if someone who is just learning to driving a manual is driving the car. Off-boost it doesn't do this. It only does it at RPMs in which the turbo is building or holding pressure.

Same recommendations? I don't have another AFM to try otherwise I would but I could install my powerfc and put in a Z32 AFM.

I had an r32 gtst back in 2004 which would do that, the car would lurch back and forth violently under acceleration. Turned out to be a really dirty fuel filter, wasn't allowing sufficient fuel to the rail so the car was suffering fuel starvation. Upon reflection I'm surprised I didn't destroy the engine, must have been running ultra lean during those periods.

Did it do this all the time or only occasionally like it's doing for me?

I would think if it were a fuel filter it wouldn't just stop and be fine for hours.

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      Isn't there a fitting on the back of the balance tube? That's what the OEM boost gauge uses.

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.

      Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
