I've searched the forums and can't really find my problem...

For awile now my r33 gtst has been playing up when cold, the car will start but then will stall straight away, or run rough and then stall. But then be ok if i kept trying and warmed it up. It was only doing this sometimes but lately it has got worse and started running rough and stalling even when hot.

sometimes this problem wouldn't happen for a couple of weeks??

The Blitz BOV i have on it was getting stuck open and shut, so i pulled it off last night and cleaned it, put it back on and the car ran fine. So i thought i had solved it, but this morning i went to start the car and the same thing is happening :)

Maybe this was just a coincidence that the car ran fine last night, cause i put back on the original BOV a minute ago and still no go (original came with the car seperate so not sure if its good, but it looks ok)

would a dodgy bov gasket cause problems? ( ie a bit flat or squashed)

Could it be a stuck throttle body, or stuffed air flow meter????

I am a bit lost now and not sure what to check next, somebody please help

I just disconnected the airflow meter and reconnected and the car started fine, but when i rev it it stalls, then when i start it again it starts dropping the revs then reving back up again...

So this could be my problem i think...

A bit strange that the problem usually only occured when the car was cold.

dodgy connecter or dirty sensor maybe?

well i pulled off the airflow meter and the sensor in it was filthy, so i blasted it with carby cleaner then after it was dry i gave it another blasting with electronic cleaner. Also cleaned the mesh on each end. now its running good, so try cleaning your airflow meter if anyone is having similar problems :D

damn, glad that is fixed, time for a beer :)

i had a very similar problem on my NA.

SST went over the whole car and ended up replacing the standard ECU with a Wolf ECU.

i am now getting quite respectable power but still using a bit of fuel and still having trouble with revs and idle... it's all mapped now so i don't use an air flow metre so i have no idea why it's doing this.

any thoughts are greatly appreciated as SST are quite stumped atm.

      Rb25det s1 igniter pin out

      By EndZee · Posted

      Hello, im asking about this guy - coil igniter on rb25det series 1 r33 s1 engine. I need to know if pins on coil side indicate coils itself from 1-6 or it’s firing order so pin nr1 goes to 1st fired spark plug:(1pin-1firing spark, 2pin-5order firing spark, 3-3, 4-6, 5-2, 6-4…)   photo: https://files.fm/f/k9pdug38uq

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Remove it. Certainly from the hub face. I'm not in love with leaving it on the wheel assembly surface either - but if it is common to do so, then....maybe fair enough. It's not difficult. Just time consuming. For the hub face you just need a large enough block and suitable grades of abrasive paper to get it off flat. The same would be true of the assembly face. Just more time consuming, probably needing a lot more care. It's defo going to be easier just to assemble the wheels as is, seal them up, and check them periodically to see if there's any movement or loosening of the fasteners, than it will be to remove it though.

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By dyl33 · Posted

      Hello, I got my wheels powder coated and they've powder coated bloody everything the mating surface and hub (even told them not to lol) anyway should I leave it or remove it. (Would be very hard) I've searched a lot and lots of powder coaters don't mask the mating surface but do mask the hub surface. How bad it powder coat on the mating surface or hub? My question is what should I do?

      R34 Gt Auto Tuning

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, R34 with RB25DE likely has a 4AX01 box in it, which is a medium duty auto ~ with the RB25DET mill, it would've been fitted with 4AX00 (4AX13) heavy duty build (same case, different internals). An RB25DET will lunch on a medium duty 4R01 auto in pretty short order ...to give you some visual idea of differences between the 'medium' and 'heavy duty' boxes, you only have to look at the 2/4 band for comparison...it's chalk and cheese...(plus bigger high clutch, extra pinion in the planetary sets, higher oil pump output, different bearings, higher TC stall speed )... You can control them with just about any aftermarket TCU for electric-over 4-speed with TC lockup clutch (ie; the GM 4L60E and others)...I have a custom standalone TCU that includes MAP sensor (for turbo applications) along with TPS, RPM, and line pressure monitoring...in other words, I don't use any ECU signals...no real need to.
