:D

HI. ive got an R33 and for the last 8 days ive been having probs with excelleration. When i take off the car feels like it is pulling back. It is really hard to get ay boost and when i do it comes in dangerous short bursts. I thought it my be fuel tampering (scabby servos) so i let it run dry and went to anoher shell but its still happening. I'll be drving and will try and put my foot down and get no power then all of a sudden, i get, as i said, a shor power intake and it is quite dangerous cause it will happen when im right behind another vechile.

So if anyone out there has any suggestions i would more than appreciate your help as im so worried about my princess....

Thanks in advance

I had similar problems with my last car (silvia turbo). Cleaning the air flow meter helped (take it out, run some metho over the element that sits in the middle of the afm (do NOT touch any wires with your fingers), let it dry fully then put it back in the car). Not sure what the problem was exactly. It seemed to do it more in hot weather or after the car had heated up a bit.

The reason cleaning my afm helped was because I was using an oiled air filter (k&n) and they tend get oil all over the element in the afm. I changed back to a dry air filter and had much better results. Cant say if the afm was the problem. I suspect the problem may have been elsewhere and just made worse by the afm reading incorrectly.

Other suggestions might be to check the fuel pump?? dunno.

Does it seem to accelerate ok up to when you'd hit boost? Does it stutter or just really bog down and you get nothing? In my case the revs would build up slowly and it would seem to pick up a little but it was terrible. And only after 15-20 minutes or so of driving. Often I could turn the car off then back on and it would be fine for a couple of minutes.

Hi, It might help if you list any mods (if any) on the car that you are ware of.

One of my mate's personally imported a series 6 RX-7 & it ran like crap because it was tuned in Japan to run on their premium fuel (108ron?). A simple re-tune on the dyno fixed it right up & it runs beautifully now.

has the car been previously owned in australia or are you the first owner?

Good luck with fixing your car & hopefully someone on here has an answer for you.

So... when you give it half throttle, it stutters? Or it drives normally but with no boost? When the boost comes on, it shouldn't launch you TOO hard on a stocker. What does the boost guage read when all this happens?

How far are you putting the boot in?

If it IS just the boost, and not a fuel or coilpack or whatever problem, then maybe you have a sticky wastegate actuator? You'd have to be gunning it and not just normal traffic driving to generate that much boost that you feel it though.

she did say it happens when shes taking off so its not the common misfiring problem.

it could be your:

CAS

AFM

spark plugs

coil packs.

do the spark plugs if you havent already. take your AFM out and spray with carby cleaner. do my coil pack fix, and try swap your CAS with someone else with an r33.

if you can get your hands on someone else's CAS, then do that first.

if you were in syd i'd be able to give you a hand.

Sounds to me like misfire

Does it happen around 4000/5000rpm onwards?

Check sparks, check coilpacks for hairline cracks, clean afm?

Does "sound" like the common missfire problem that nearly every line owner has.

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
