Hey Guys



I have a R33 GTS25T series 1 Auto



when I turn it on it is idling like it is running on 5 cylinders, there is a strong smell of fuel



on 2 occasions it has stalled, i took the car for a run thinking it was a injector but the car was very unresponsive, at first the car wouldn't get over 40KMPH and i had my foot nearly flat, i took it out of drive and into 1st and floored it i pushed it into second and didn't go into second until I got over 6000RPM then it jumped into second.



once I got the car to around 80 it was going fine. then I slowed down to take a corner and it started running sluggish and strong smell of fuel again. until I got over 40



please people I need help :/

  • Yeah mate plugs are fine.
  • i am running on all 6 just sounds like its not.
  • injectors I'm not 100% sure about
  • fuel is BP 98 the usual I run it on

I'm wondering if it could be the Air flow meter does that sound like something the AFM would do? :/

It could be the AFM. If you can get a hold of one to borrow and try out I would do that

If the plugs are fine, the fuel is good and the injectors are firing right (and arent dribbling fuel etc) then it could be AFM

it could also be a boost/vac leak. Do you have an atmo bov?

Same problem here. All cylinders are firing but sounds like its running 5. Have a fuel pressure gauge and far as I guess, they're not leaking down once the car is off since it holds pressure for hours. Compression is solid. I haven't done a leak down test yet but I'm leaning towards a bad igniter or AFM. Let me know if swapping the AFM works. Going to change the fuel filter too.

    • Hey guys I’m chasing a Rb20det complete or bare block need a good running engine as mine has low comp 
    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
