well i have been having the what seems to be like standard r33 gtst issues of late(mine is 1995 r33 gtst standard BOV), i have had it for close to 12 months now !! driving along and the car starts to stutter and like its bunny hopping sort of thing.....we have replaced the fuel pump to a better aftermarket one, replaced the turbo/manifold gasket etc... have taken the EBC out and put back to stock boost, an electronic diagnosis has been done with nothing being found.... we had taken it to a guy that did a dyno diagnosis and he said the coils needed attention ,so he fixed that, then eventually said the spring on the wastegate was stuck open or something so he said he fixed that..... \

now honestly !! the car is in WORSE shape than it was when we gave it to him..we could drive it there and you wouldnt notice anything until you hit about 10 pound say.. but now it is all felt even getting to about 4000 rpm just about undrivable i feel !!

PLEASE can anybody tell who has had this issue, where to take my ride to someone who has FIXED the problem, isnt gonna charge an arm and a leg(ie: reputable)

i NEED to get this done.. i have spent WAYYYYY to much $$ on it already, and needs to be done, its becoming a nightmare that is stretching all savings to the point where we're starting to sell things we own to pay for these car related things amongst other expenses

thanks for the help

the only time i had stuttering was when i had a busted intercool pipe rubber. OR fouled plugs and igniter.

do a search on how to check ECU codes (with in the forums) should be heaps and that will tell you.

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
