Just wondering if anybody can help me or if anyone has encountered a similar Problem with their R33 Gtst Skyline.

After I drive the car constantly, meaning visiting various places and switching the car on and off, it becomes very rough and it lags. What i mean is that the idiling is really rough and will jump from 1000 to 3000 back and fourth, until i turn off the car and let it stand for about 15 minutes. I have cleaned the injectors. Also when this happens and i continue to drive it without letting it stand switched off, it is really lagging. I press down on the accelarator but it does not go how it should. I have spelt petrol fuems while i am in the cabin but whenever i ask whoever is with me if they smell it they say they cant. Has anyone else incurred a similar problem or know of anyone who has it would be really appreciaited if you could contact me and help me out. I really like driving the car but currently am afraid to in case it cuts out anywhere when i am out as it does.

Could be your AFM (air flow meter). Either way, smelling petrol inside the cabin is never a good thing..that could indicate a leak somewhere or your engine running extremely rich. If I were you I would take it straight to a mechanic who knows what they are doing. Could save you money in the end.

Sounds very likely it could be that...although then again it could be anything. Apparently that happened in my car with the previous owner (ethanr33), so he used it for a good reason to whack an Apexi S-AFC in - of course with the additional power benefits.

Common problem?

Hey everyone,

At last I see people with the same issue as I :P

Ismail82 I know how you feel, but mine doesn't hover as much as yours (i.e. around the 2-3k rpm mark).

Doesn't anyone know of a good and reasonable priced place that can do the dyno tune or the Apexi S-AFC as I too am getthing the same problem as Ismail82...

I'm located inner city area but willing to go anywhere that does a good job...

I cleaned the 02 sensor with oven cleaner, as recommended by my mechanic. As of today i realised that cleaning it works only for three weeks as the same problem reoccured today. Time to change the 02 sensor and probably the Air Flow Ceonsor with a S-AFC as recommended by others.

Hey all,

I left the car with the auto electrician for a full day. He hooked it up to the computer and ran tests to find that their are no faults with the car. O2 sensor is fine Air Flow Meter is Fine. He reset the computer and ran the tests again and again everything was fine.

He was confused and so am I. How come it would idle rough like that and become sluggish and yet everything registers as being fine. Does anybody at all have any ideas of how to rectify this problem through their experience or do they know anyone I could contact to get this sorted out.

At the moment i am driving but every now and agian it happens and it is so annoying. thanks to all

I'd still suggest getting it on a dyno, they can monitor what is happening to the car much better that way. It is most likely a fuel related problem, so they will be able to tell if it is too rich or not firing etc.

It's well worth the money.

Definitely get it on a dyno for a diagnosic run as has already been suggested. Get them to check your air-fuel mix, fuel pressure and whatever sensors they can.

I went from 95hp and really lean, found my coolant temp sensor was dead, went back to 150hp (with a badly slipping clutch) and all is well again.

Apart from the clutch.

Your problem may not be and probably isn't the coolant temp sensor, but it's an example of how a good dyno diagnostic run can pick up these things.

Sounds like the same problem that I had? I cleaned out the auxiliary air control (AAC) valve, and it worked!(reading these forums can be helpful after all)

Its located at the back of the plenum chamber (inlet manifold) there is a maroon electrical plug (brittle) and a hose which need to be removed first then there is four ten millimeter bolts that also need to be removed before the whole assembly can be (careful if you want to use the orignal gasket again) removed from the car.

then there is two screws that hold the solenoid on, once this is removed the remaining assembly can be cleaned by useing carby cleaner (I used kero and a compressor to dry and clear any blockages) also make sure that the spring moves(smooth) and the valve works.

Reassemble in reverse order with a bit of sensor safe silicon with the original gasket(or you could make another one it depends on weather the gasket comes off in one piece) hope this helps!

It really is quite easy!

The stuttering might be spark plugs, have them gaped to 0.8mm this helps (platinum/iridium plugs also are a good choice for turbocharged engines)

      49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
