My car has a million problems need help solving one my old r33 did the same I just sold the thing without fixing it this one does it all the time

Problem

When the cars hot after a while I don't mean running temp more like drive for half an hour. My car seems to all of a sudden loose power after a quarter throttle

Things I noticed are the exhaust note hangs sounds like the car is struggling (which it is) it sounds like it's slowly revving out but takes forever

Natural instinct makes me back off but if I keep the throttle down it really goes nowhere!

Since I have been swamped with other things it's been put off for a while until I get the cars other issues fixed

It's really annoying and I can't overtake anyone with the power of a charade

While I'm writing a thread does anyone know why it idles high? 1100 rpm.

Thanks in advance

Yeah I'll just replace is. Is this in reference to my idle issue or nugget when hot issue

(Please note that my thermostat is new and the car gets up to "running temperature" quickly it's drives longer then say 30 minutes sometimes longer before it does it.

(It is accumulative so if I do a lot of short trips it still does it)

Both - Idle and Nugget

Edit: Basically the ECTS (Water coolant Sensor) is sending poor info to the ECU which is getting info from other sensors as well.

By the way it should cost around $40-50 and you can change it yourself

20+ years old car now man, things start to get old/worn/brittle. Start slowly gathering parts and replace them (e.g. coilpacks + harness + from performance-wise, throw new BCPR6ES-11 spark plugs in as well).

Having a standard engine is a bonus, less shit to worry about when diagnosing.

I miss my black GTS-t :(

The larger the gap the better/bigger the spark therefore better the burn :)

With a stock car running average boost your best off with 1.1mm on your spark plugs.

When you modify and wind up the wick wait until you get issues prior to reducing the gap down.

There wont be any issues running a smaller gap with new splitfires BUT it's not optimum. See first line ^^

Cheers sinista sounds like a plan I'll give them a shot

And cheers got that jiffo

I'm not the smartest with a multimeter so how exactly do I set it up to measure the ohms and I'm obviously unplugging the sensor correct?

    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
