A friend of mine has an R33 GTSt 97 model, I drove it the other day and it seems to bogs down once it reaches 2000rpm then the rpm increases very slowly. as if something is holding it back.

he changed fuel filter. and the turbo seems to be boosting fine.

I was thinking the throttle body maybe dirty, what do you guys think?? any ideas

vendetta...that signature would have to be one of the most rediculous things i have read on a car site. makes you look like like an idiot before people even get a chance to judge you...

on the topic of the thread, it could be the AFM or even the air filter if it is dirty and not enough air getting through. Also maybe injectors dirty - run some injector cleaner through before pulling things apart in case its something small. try fiddling with the throttle polition sensor (there's a thread on it) as well as this could be the problem.

Waz.

  • 3 months later...

we took everything apart and the rubber hose coming from the turbo to the pod filter was loose we tightened it but still. when driving it i feel like there is too much air going in or something.

it goes a bit better but still it still feels abit ristricted in power. we changed the spark plugs, cleaned the afm, changed the ecu .

next step is changing the coil packs. any other suggestions.

i still think its a boost leak

check the zaust manifold... sometimes they can crack

but i dont think ive ever heard of a standard one cracking

could also be loose from the block or a gasket is blown somewhere.... check both sides of the equation.... but if its when its on boost id say 90% chance its a boost leak or something similar ahmed

took everything on the right hand side of the engine apart and put it back together, I noticed there is a minimal amount of oil in front of the turbo but there is no shaft play or anything. and defenitly there is no air leak cause i checked everything

the car has improved but still i feel like the engine is restricted its not as free as it should be. tomorrow we'll have a look at the fuel side of things (fuel rail, injectors)

anyone have any other ideas??

I read something about the o2 sensor sometimes becoming faulty where is that located and can that be the problem ?

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
