Hey all,

I seem to have a problem with my S2 33 GTS-T. The Bosch 040 in tank suddenly has gotten REALLLLLLLLLLY loud. It's never been this loud before and only seems to be getting louder. Previously to getting it tuned (3 weeks ago), you couldn't hear it at all. It got tuned with new injectors and I'm assuming the PowerFC is asking it to flow more so it's louder. Loud being the whiney noise you hear when it works.

The car cannot boost at the moment. It was fine after the tune, however I took a drive up to Newcastle and on the way back it started spluttering when I boosted it. At first I thought it was the clutch slipping so thats been changed for a new item. Now it's still doing it. Basically on stock boost or any boost, the car runs fine but when it tries to boost at 4-4.5K rpm it starts to backfire, and the engine cuts in and out. The same feeling you get when you hit redline except it sounds like it's backfiring. Doesn't matter what gear it is, as soon as it starts to boost same thing happens.

Does anyone have any ideas or questions which might enable me to sort it out? The only thing I can think of is the fuel pump? It was boosting fine after the tune. Two days after the tune I took it to Newcastle. It's since been off the road due to me waiting for the clutch and installation and now it seems the problem is still there.

Any points would be greatful. I'll be taking it to a workshop soon but just interested to see if anyone has anything to add :P I only drive it back and forth from the station but I'm worried more driving could potentially cause damage to it.

Thanks all for reading :no:

Probably the classic dying coil packs.

They all do it.... in fact mine is doing it at the moment too. You'll most likely need to go get yourself a replacement set of coils - unless it turns out to be something else that's causing the problem

Same problem struck me; my 040 got REAL loud and then I started to lose power a week or so later. Turned out the pump was rooted and the power loss is due to the pump not maintaining adequate fuel pressure. Changed my pump and all was sweet. On a side note, my 040 was less than a year old and was in really bad condition when I removed it from the tank so I am now a little dubious of bosch's quality control.

i've heard quite a few horror stories about the bosch fuel pumps, but then i'm sure heaps of people have no troubles with em. I wouldn't get one though.

Gus have you by any chance tried hitting it with a hammer?? That works for me with things....

sounds exactly like it.. outta the tuner's shop and it was moderately loud.. but not as loud as it is today.. mind I ask what you ended up changing it for?

    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
