    R33 Gts Running/idleing Rough

    in General Maintenance

    Posted

    Hi there,

    So a few weeks ago on a bit of a drive my R33 GTS started running very sloppy, it was very gutless and almost sounded like i had a lumpy cam in it or something. Also the sound out of the exhaust was very poppy and i could smell petrol as i was driving.

    It was coming up to a 200k service, thought it might have been a dirty/dodgy spark plug that might have been stopping a spark to a cylinder. Its pretty obvious that only 5 out of the 6 cylinders are working.

    I got a service as soon as possible, changed the spark plugs etc. Took it for a drive with my mechanic around the block and nothing, it was running great. Later that day i went for a drive to the bank and it started doing it again. Just my luck.

    Now this idle/running sloppy thing only starts after the car has been warmed up an about 10-15 mins of driving (which some people have thought of that to be unusual).

    I recently showed a family member who is also a mechanic. He took a quick look over it and said if its not the spark plugs, it could either be coils, leads or injectors. He also gave it a rev in neutral and after a few revs, when it hit about 5.5-6k it did a big backfire.

    I would like to know of anyone who has had the same problem as mine. I have looked around at other threads and others seems to have similar problems but the question never really gets answered i suppose.

    Any help would be great.

    Thanks

    Looks good mate. I myself also have a non turbo r33, except I'm thinking of running a set of 18" XXR 962's. Reckon it'll fit with 8.5" front and 9.5" back, both with +35 offset? not lowered yet btw

    8.5's would fit perfect on front.. 9.5's on rears u may hav to roll the guards. I think if u get a smaller offset they may fit, but the whole offset thing still confuses me, I'm probs not the best person to ask lol, check ur nearest decent tyre/wheel shop.. Theyl be able to help.

    Just copy and fill in the table;

    Skyline model = R33 Series 1 GTS

    Wheel Brand/Model = Koya Driftek

    Wheel diameter = 18"

    Wheel width = 8.5"

    Wheel offset = +35 (Running F&R)

    Tyre size = 235/40/r18 (Front) ... 235/45/r18 (Rear)

    Modifications to fit = no mods, fit perfect with 10mm gap to guard at front and 5mm gap to guard at rear. No scraping or rubbing on front full lock or suspension flex at rear. Perfect size if u don't want to mod or roll guards etc.

    Castor Rods/extensions

    in Suspension, braking and tyres

    Posted

    Hey everyone,

    Went to a tyre place the other day for an alignment an turns out they weren't able to align them because theres no more extension left in the castor rods. He was talking about getting something like castor rod extenders.

    There for a Skyline r33 GTS 1993.

    Any help relating to castor rods would be much help.

    Cheers

    Hey guys. I'm pretty new to this website so forgive my noobyness. I'm not really understanding the whole offset thing.

    Anyway ive got an 1993 r33 gts (non turbo) 4 stud an looking at fitting lenso d1r 18x8.5+35 to the front an rear. Only mods are lowered springs.

    Would they fit without any guard trimming/rolling and without any rubbing on front wheel arch/steering rack etc.

    Just want a nice rim that will sit flush.

    Any help would be much appreciated. :)

    Hey mate,

    Im looking at exactly the same wheels for my 1993 gts.

    Thinking of getting 18x8.5 all round, not sure of an offset tho.

    Did you have to roll the front guards or only the rear? Also do u rekon theyl fit? lol

    Thanks

    Wheel: Lenso/Raiden D1R (Project D)

    Skyline model = 1994 R33 GTST

    Wheel diameter = 18"

    Wheel width = 8.5" Front, 9.0" rear

    Wheel offset = +35 Front, +32 Rear

    Want to correct the camber a bit so may need to do something with the guards if I do that
