Hi, i've been having major hesitstion and holding back problems with my R33 GTS-t i hav ereplaced jus about everything to try and cure it and ihave gone through all the main things that go wrong with them to cause them to either hold back or missfire!

i checked the timeing the otherday and it was out by about 5-10 deg so i tried to adjust it on the cas to move the timeing along and i got it bang on 15deg! the car ran like newand was great i parked it up didnt touch it till the next morning and it was crap again i checked the timing and it was out again!!!!!

i took the cas off and noticed that the rubber o ring around the end of it was broken and was in half so obviously it well off now when i try to adjust the timing it gets to about 10 deg and i move it a little more and it jumps to about 35!!!!! then i have 2 knock it bac and it jumps from about 25 to about -10!!! i cant get it inbetween!!!!!

any ideas on what coudl be causeing this error???

thanks alot! :laugh:

Be very careful guys.I had similar problem with timing all over the place and performance would change from one minute to the next.Turned out it was the timing belt missing half it`s teeth because the dumb shit mechanic used a mitsubishi belt.

I had mine chaged 10tho kays ago wiht a gates racing one.

ROX best take it to a mechnic could be a numbe rof things from, Fuel pressure, airflow meter, timming.

I go tmy car booke din for a PFC tune and to sort out the CAS issue on the 17th so i will let u know after what the solution was for me. Apparently the cas can go bung and sometimes read 0 or 15 and all over the place. On my PFC the read out ofr timming is fine doesnt seem to move? but i dont know if the PFC actually shows wha tis really going on with timing? does any one know?

i have had this happen on a mates engine before, the CAS had a broken shaft onto the cam, seemed to pull out fine most of the time when i thought it was suspect and checking it, then one day pulled it out and only half came out. split where the roll ping thing joins it. i assume that at revs (got to the point it was doing it at idle) that the timing was jumping around everywhere ... simply replaced it and wammo

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
