Problems With My R33

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

      Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...

      That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?

      I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.

      If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
