Not Revving Past 4k

Hey all

Had a search through other posts but couldn't find any that explained my problem.

95% of the time the car drives perfectly. This morning she wouldn't rev at all, wasn't flat footing it, just normal everyday driving style and she kept cutting out till i shifted into 3rd and than the problem went away. Happened everytime i stopped at lights ie 1st and 2nd coughing and spluttering than 3rd and above normal. Checked that the AFM is plugged in, boost guage reads 12 PSI with no boost spiking running a normal bleed valve.

When i drove home from work earlier today (sore back, don't ask) she drove like nomral. Only happened when i was almost home and gave her a bit, wouldn't rev past 4K and kept on cutting out. Looked at the boost guage and was sitting at 12 PSI.

Got a mate round to show him and car drove normally. Revved past 4K and pulled strongly through all gears.

Also it would seem that my bleed valve isn't working. I have the thing shut so that it should be at the stock boost pressure but she's still reading 12 PSI. Could that be it ???

Finally i recently installed a Hybrid bolt on intercooler kit. 600 X 300 X 76. Now my bonnet won't shut properly as we had to remove the centre bit to install the intercooler. We knocked up a peice of metal to hold the latch in place but it won't pop the hood unless someone is pulling it up and it moves up and down in the wind as i am driving

Any ideas as to these problems?

Thanks

I remember my 3SGTE was so shit, in stock form, it just got worse and worse, till finally, I wondered if it would even make it the short drive to the workshop where I was having an aftermarket ECU installed.

I never thought about it much again because the car was alive and double the power of ever before after the tune. I was half expecting to be told the engine was dead.

I am amazed how many people have problems related to running rich, as I did and don't just get an aftermarket ecu of some sort. SAFC if you have a low budget.

One thing leads to another when you run rich, you'll use more fuel, you'll block up your cat, etc.

Just get an safc and a tune, if not one better and get a full aftermarket ecu, make sure you have NO boost leaks. get rid of you bleed valve if you have it shut.

Now it won't rev past 4.5 at full throttle. Starts spluttering and coughing. 3/4 and she revs to about 4700 but keeps cutting out. At half throttle however it revs out to 7 no problem. Any ideas as to what could be the problem. Installed some iridium plugs today but this problem is annoying me.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
