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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
