Hey guys my R32 GTS4 is being a bit annoing recently, it's cutting out at low rpm at low speed or sitting at idle. Thing is it only does it sometime, usually when it's cold. Except it's not really stalling as such, before my connections to my AFM were a bit suss but ive rectified that problem (although it has somewhat come back, occasionally surging and cutting power - ie AFM not reading etc properly) but i'm about to look at this now. I'm hopeful it's just the AFM, but if anyone has experienced similar problems I would love to hear from you, even if it's to put my mind at ease. (enough to worry about let alone a very annoying cutting out habbit my car seems to have adopted). Thanks in advance

Cheers,

Rhys ;)

I had a similar symptoms and it turned out to be water in the intake from when i drove through a really huge puddle during a storm. went away... eventually

Hey mate would you be able to say where exactly in the intake, i did notice that i had a bit too much oil on my K&N panel filter when i gave it a recharge and there was some residual oil in the actual air box which might be similar to what you have said.

Cheers

the mechanic said that the water had been sucked straight through my pod filter. im lucky it didnt stuff the whole engine because water doesnt compress that well lol

Haha yeah water isn't the greatest thing for your engine. Cheers for the comment. Have a top one.

Found a post suggesting it could be the grounding wire to the fuel pump so i'l give that a go, sorry to regurgitate the same query guys. But will be back here if fixing the grounding wire idea is incapable of rectifying the problem.

Cheers

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
