EurasiaN!

Cheers Messiah for your advice and everybody else who's had an input I think i'll be looking into booking my car in and hopefully getting some issues resolved!

Spotted a silver R33, number plates "GOD xxx". Girl driver on Church St turning onto Victoria Rd, Parramatta. Both gave it a little squirt around the corner in 1st gear before she turned off.

Here's a few pictures of the engine bay and other things. As I said im no wizz with this kind of stuff so half this stuff I wouldnt know what it does But hope it helps in some way at least.. stock coilpacks? Thanks for the tip mate. Will look into it along with coil-packs. Not sure if missfire and backfire are the same terms . But at 5000rpm it feels as if the engine has been turned off then power back on, which is one problem. The backfire is the other problem when shifting upwards, regardless of rev range when shifting ie. 2000-4000rpm still backfires 5/10 times. I think its just a boost controller and after market bov. Will have a look for the ECU soon. How do I know if its after market or stock? Its manual sorry forgot to include. Boost gauge works from time to time, like this morning was showing boost fine for about 20 minutes, hence why I believe its a loose connection, but the boost controller is always at 0, -1, -2 so I think its just not connected? Uneducated assumption though Thanks all for the contribution, just wondering how bad/damage is it to be driving this with the constant backfire though. As everytime it happens I feel im hurting the car just that little bit more . The 5000rpm isnt a real problem as I dont rarely ever hit those rpms but still would like to know the answer.

Thanks for the reply, Car idles not a problem. 1) Not sure what ECU is running, not good with all that jazz, might just take a pic under the hood tomorrow, probably be more helpful. 3) Well problem is the my standard gauge has a loose connection, so it works 1/7 days of the work so dont even know what im boosting. And the boost controller sits at -1,-2 so thats no help either.. but never has it reached -18

Hey guys so I just bought my first Skyline a 1998 R34 GT-T. But overall im no expert or mechanic so I have a few questions (could be stupid) that im pretty clueless about. Any info is greatly appreciated though. So here goes... 1) I've noticed when I hit 5000rpm the engine cuts out, was wondering is due to a rev limiter on the car or has it got something to do with the ECU mapping? (- Noticed in 1st gear im able to go past 5000rpm but have noticed a cut out in 2nd and 3rd) 2) Quite often the car back fires when shifting upwards. This has happened from all gears from 1st through to 5th. Sometimes loud enough to rattle the car a little. I've read the fix could be coil packs, was wondering could this be due to other reasons? And what coil packs should I be looking at and rough $$$, 3) I currently have a Greddy Profec Spec 2 boost controller installed, but it always sits at 0, -1 or -2. I thought this is only meant to happend when the car is idling. So am I right to think the boost controller isnt connected and just currently running stock boost? Sorry about the lack of knowledge, but just want to get a few issues sorted with my car.

i know that comment was from a few years back now, but just found my car on the search then. i recently just bought this car (GM30VR), so hope to see you SAU guys out and about soon!
