hey, i asked this question in another thread but didnt get an answer so just thought id start a post n ask.

got an r33, minor mods include hks pod with heat sheild, fujitsubo 3.5 cat back, blitz bov.

i want to install a turbotech boost tee and bump it up to aroung 10 psi. been told i need a fuel cut defender but the car will misfire at about 5000rpm and want to know how i stop this? also is there anything else i need to do to safely bump it up??

thanks heaps

Brett :D

PowerFC will not necessarily solve the misfire issue.

Yes, it will get aroung the R&R issues, but I have just installed a PowerFC and am still missing at ~5000rpm with anything over 14psi.

My coils aren't the issue either because I have done a Bosch coil pack convesion and even then I had to gap my plugs to .6

I am beginning to suspect there is a voltage drop to the coils at full load because the miss only happens at WOT. If I give it half throttle it will rev cleanly all the way to redline, but give it full throttle and it shits itself.

In summary, try gapping your plugs to .6

Running a little rich perhaps?

yeah just do it. If it wont rev like it did b4 remove it do a few more mods and than put it back in. you will find it quicker for about a week and then you will be looking for more power :dry:

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
