hi, i've just recently picked up a series II r33. i've noticed that sometimes when i boot it, it has a really slight stumble at about 4000rpm, then at about 5500rpm. its only very slight but you can feel its not revving freely through the range. sometimes it doesn't do it though.

i was thinking spark plugs but what do you guys think

its got standard ecu, hks filter in the standard box, 3 inch cat back but running standard cat for compliance (haven't got around to changing it) oh and running standard boost.

Sounds like a slight misfire which isn't uncommon.

Change the plugs first. A set of copper bcpr6es or bkr6es will cost about 20 bucks. Or pull out your existing plugs and check that they are gapped correctly. Factory recommended gap is 1.1mm, gap them down to .8 as you will be running a bit richer with the mods you have which will contribute to the miss.

Then start looking at the coils. There's a sticky thread at the top of this section all about them.

How would one alter the gap?

A set of feeler guages (you can pick them up from any auto store) & by lightly tapping the end of the plug on a hard surface, Ie table etc. untill they meet at 0.8mm.

Most decent auto stores would possibly gap them for you if you ask! :(

There seems to be some conjecture about whether or not to gap iridium plugs. I've got some on my desk and would really like to know =D I got the BKR6EIX-11's which as I understand have a stock 1.1mm gap, the recommended gap seems to be .8mm Should I be re-gapping these? The car is stock engine/performance wise just wanted these for longevity and this is my first service so wanted to be sure plugs were fresh.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
