Hi all, first post.

ive got an R33 gtst and it seems to miss under full load from 5 to 6 grand, I had the coil packs repleace ($1400) bucks, but it still does it. ive had a boost controller fitted and a k&n pod filter. Currently running running roughly ten pounds boost. (but i dont have a boost gauge so can't be sure). Also have a 3inch exhaust system, except for the cat which is 2.5' hi flow.

Any ideas as to what the problem could be?

Firstly check your spark plugs. How many kms has it done... has it had the timing belt and all that done... give it a good service and see if that helps.

If you running a standard ecu then you probably still have the boost cut enabled... which I think is set at 8 or 9psi (If somebody knows exactly then please let me know).

Try these first.

If that does not work then you might try a smaller gap sized plug... that worked for me.

im currently experiencing the same problem, it went away with new plugs, but it has since come back, i have done about 1000ks on the new plugs and when i removed the front 3, the first and the second plugs looked a bit used (black ring round it ect) the 3rd looked pretty much unused... no ring or marking..

it only happens when i go flat stick with more than .7 bar (10psi)

boost cut doesnt occour till something like 13 or 14 psi

I had this problem with the stock ecu... got hold of a power fc and problem hasn't come back untill I put stock ecu back in to test something else. I don't know what it is... maybe fuel delivery from the ecu seeing as boost cut is apperently at .9bar (14psi). I did also change gap sizes to .8mm.

I would redcomend that you run stock boost untill a boost guage is installed. When I first installed my bleed valve (which I'm not using any more) I still had the boost guage sitting in the passenger seat nect to me... took it for a drive and it really flew. Installed the boost guage and was actually running 1.4Bar which is WAY too much. The factory boost guage didn't even make the 7+ line.

Dan you whinge like a bitch, how much did i charge you for that bleed valve? Yeah thats right nothing. Lesson learnt boost gauge first then bleed valve, it went good though didn't it?

Anyway i think you car is brushing the boost cut, back off the boost until you throw a proper gauge in and then there are several ways such as fuel/boost cut defenders (around $ 200) and various other modules to get around this problem. Or do a Dan and get a powerFC.

Not Whinging Rhys... just giving experience... I actually thought it was quite funny and an interesting experience... ie. Learnt that stock boost gauge is shit and bleed valve (which I appreaciated and still must get back to you) was more sensitive in my car than yours. did go REALLY hard though!

leaning out at 10psi - no

cant boost skylines on std cooler - wrong

needs a fuel reg - wrong

its got to be something to do with ignition if you are in fact runnin 10psi. this means checking coil packs (done), spark plugs, and ignition module. however if the spark plugs are uneven in colour it may point to a blocked/clogged injector which isnt spraying enough fuel causing pinging, but youd hear that...

is it missing on idle and all the time, or only in high rpms? what gap have u got your plugs set to?

On only 10psi it won't need an adj. fuel pressure reg.

The standard ic's are fine to run 10-11psi on the r33's and on the r32's around 12psi. I made 152rwkw on 12psi.

When going to a fmic i noticed ever so slightly more lag and that holding 3rd and fourth out didn't seem to feel as flat.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
