Hi, figured someone may have had a similar experience, l realise it’s like finding a needle in a hay stack, but having a lot of knowledgeable people is always beneficial. Thanks for the input, appreciate it. l will take it back to the tuner and let him have the problem.

Thought l gave a good summary of issue. Sometimes less is more!

We put a smoke test through the system.

Yes intake pipe to the plenum. From intercooler.

After the hose blew off and the problem became apparent. ii haven’t had it back for a retune.

Yes, plugs changed, several sets now. has had new cooler piping both sides. turbo side to air filter done pre tune. Intake done only a week ago. Still same problem. Car ran perfect after tube, 232rwkw. @ 15psi. drove it 250kms after tune, no issue. Gave it a few short drives and it, again, was perfect. blew the intake pipe to plenum off. once this happened it ran like shit. changed plugs as they were all Fouled. since then it has had the issue. Appreciate everyone’s input.

After the hose blew off and the problem became apparent. ii haven’t had it back for a retune.

Hi, have replaced no 6 injector. compression was around 128 per cylinder. thanks.

Hi, the only thing l am confused with is at to why only number 6 is fowling??? thanks.

Hi Ben, hoses were all good at time of tune. All new and tight. thanks for the thought.

Hi all, l didn’t want to put anything on the forum, however l am unable to work this out and am extremely frustrated, hopefully someone can give me some good direction. the car blew a cooler hose, since then it has developed a miss at approx 5,000 rpm upwards. the strange thing is that it now fowls only plug number 6. all others are fine. changed coil packs around and same issue. new coil loom, same. Car runs, idles and drives fine, as long as you don’t go past 5.000 rpm. running apexi fc. Has had tune. Developed this after the tune. However was running amazing until the hose blew off. Boost is a conservative 15. if anyone can give me some direction it would be greatly appreciated. regards.

Hi all, wondering if anyone can recommend a complete fuel rail kit to suit rb25det r33 to suit short Bosch top feed injectors. I have been looking at the raceworks aly-029 kit. This seems like it will do the job, has anyone used this kit with good results? Many thanks

Thanks, will look at those too.

Thanks to everyone, appreciate the opinions. will look into the xtreme range, nismo would be great, but funds don’t quite stretch that far...... again thanks.

It is very subjective, the current clutch has not take up point, has anyone installed one of the mantic stage 1 clutches?

Would like some suggestion as to the best clutch for a modest 220rwk r33 gtst. Want a clutch with a positive take up, whatever is in it at the moment has no feel at all. Car is mostly a weekender. regards

No worries, thanks. I’ll look at the Melbourne area.

Hi, can anyone recommend a good tuner in the Geelong region please? Thanks

Shall do. thanks

Hi all, would like to know if anyone else out there has an r33 with an R clockspring with a yellow plug? l have, and cannot find one. A reputable jap wrecker tells me it doesn’t exist! Thanks in advance

Had the paint mixed, matches the car, however is brighter, totally different! any other clues??

Thanks mate. regards

Hi, would like to know if the engine bay paint code is the same as the body code, kl0, without the clear???? it is alot flatter. many thanks

Not this 16 yo, he worships these, he has wanted one since he first saw Tokyo drift. Been saving for a long time, he’s paying most of it

Hi all, l am looking at buying a skyline for my 16 year old son. We have been looking at r33’s predominately gtst’s. With a few drives under our belt and a budget of 8k we are worried that most around this price will either have the dreaded paint fade with a few other exterior issues or lots of kms on the clock or both. l am not too concerned about high kms if the car looks ok and runs well. This has not been the case so far, high kms and crap paint. the question l have is, would it be a better alternative to buy a gts4 with 160,000kms ish but very clean and convert to turbo once my son has his full licence? We have loved the test driving experience so far in gtst’s, is the na going to be that bad????? regards shaun
