Ok first the car is a S2 R33 GTST with front mount, 3" catback & pod. In the last couple of weeks, there have been a couple of cases where I accellerate hard and around 4-5k rpm the engine has hit a limiter.

The limiter feels like a fuel cut, if you have ever been to the speed limiter in 5th gear (~5500rpm) its a bit like that. Happened this morning in 2nd around 4-5k rpm...

Anyone know what would cause this? I'm pretty darn sure it wasnt the 7k limiter.. its a bit faster then that.

Cheers,

Ryan.

Just stock boost. It only lasted 1 second at the most... definately not the rev limiter.

I've hit speed limiter (fuel cut pretty much right?) in the non turbo and its similar to that, much quieter then a rev limiter. Like a low fast rumble..

Talk to paul and Alistair. See what they say. I dont think it will be warranty though.

If you do want to get them from Slide, let me know as i need to order a set for for an SR aswell. We can do 1 order and try to save a bit of freight :)

Cheers

I'd be checking all your silicon joiners.. I had a hose clamp pop off (just the clamp not the silicon) and when it got to about 4k it felt like it hit a wall.. took me a bit to figure out as it wasn't like when the hose popped right off (when it popped right off it wouldn't idle and pumped HEAPS of black smoke).

the split fire coilpacks are easy as to replace, yeh you have to take off that black cover, its about 8 screws that require an allen key,

under that is the coilpacks, just have to unclip the wiring loom they are connected to and then each coilpack has 2 screw holding them down,

just take the old ones out and pope the new splitfires in, easy :P

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
