Hi guys,

Just after some help for my r34 gtr..

It was fine last time I drove it and has been parked in my shed for the past 3.5 months while I have been working away. Today is the first time I have driven it since and it started all fine, drove it for over an hour all good, washed it at the car wash and as I was parking it up to shammy it dry it was hunting up and down almost to stall from 950rpm-609rpm (power Fc). I have since driven it home and all was fine when driving, only at idle it does it.

I put the a/c on the problem goes away and I turned the a/c back off and the problem was fixed for awhile i turned the car back on and the problem was there again.. so I decided to clean my z32 Afm's and no difference in the idle.

Could it be stale fuel causing this problem?

I don't think it's the afm's ..

Hi Choyda,

It's only a brand new fuel Walbro 255l pump installed by my tuner 5 months ago

I hope it's not the pump.. But then again it has been sitting for a while..

Not really running overly rich I would just say normal

With a PFC there's often a problem with the hot start and not with the cold start.

It tends to happen when the car has been standing for at least half an hour to a couple of hours after a run. It can take a few seconds after hot starting for the PFC to catch on.

Your tuner might just adjust the idle for you within the narrow boundaries of what a PFC will permit.

Hope this helps.

    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
    • I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe 
    • One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
