Hey guys,

Ive got a 1995 r33 GTS-T

Just wondering if anyone has come across a similar broblem as mine....

the car dirves fine for a few minutes, then out of nowhere loses most of its power, the revs drop between 500-1000rpm during idle and it seems like its hunting!

Then 2 minutes later it will be fine again and drive as good as new?!! :cool:

I've been told it could be anything from a faulty injector/fuel pump/spark plug/coil/airflow meter!

I dont want to go changing all these parts as obviously all of them cant be faulty! (i hope)

does anyone have any advice as to what it might most likely be?

sounds like a vaccum leak , during idle if fluctuates thats normally the cause , check all you cooler piping

also how old are your spark plugs? Have you gapped your spark plugs to 1.1mm or if boosted 0.8mm?

yep all the piping is secure and its running standard boost (never been boosted)

i've purchased a S2 airflow meter... as ive been told that is the most probable cause!

I will let you know if it fixes the problem.

thanks

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
