My name is Steve. I have a 1997 R33 40th Anniversary.

Its got: PFC, Trust Spec M cooler, PFC EBC, Apexi pod, 18inch Volk Racing Challenge F-Zero's, Denso Fuel pump and 3 inch dump/front pipe into Trust PE2. I am currently making 202rwkw on 12 PSI. However my turbo has a leaking oil seal and a Slide highflow has been ordered. I get my car serviced by RE Customs and will hopefully get down there this Saturday.

I also have a question: My car is currently getting knock when on boost however it is inconsistent. I have turned the boost right down but still get the odd bit of knock when on boost. My question is do you guys reckon this is due to the dying turbo or is it a tuning issue?

Oh yeah I just thought I might add a picture of my dad's 2001 R34 GTR. It was imported with the help of J-spec and was complied by GT Auto. They were both fantastic to deal with. Its regretably for sale. (carsales.com.au)

Welcome Steve!

Think you'll find SAU-VIC a great place to be! Unfortunatly I wont be at RE customs this weekend, but if you become a paid member I'll be sure to meet you eventually at one of the many events going on. Very nice clean 33 you've got there with plenty of good mods!!

cheers

    • 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
