Hey guys, ive got a 94 R33 SKYLINE, and when wot, after around 4500-6000 rpm, the car may give me a sudden jolt for a split second, and then go again, then maybe another 1000rpm and itll do it again, this is when im giving it WOT.

What exactly is this im experience, i think its surging but cant be sure

its an r33 gtst (series 1 rb25det)

mods:

3"exhaust to split dump pipe

FMIC

apexi pod filter

stock ECU

boost tap running ~12psi

i have a bosch 040 pump aswell, that has yet to be put in.maybe the car needs a tune now?

Could be missfiring? whats your plug gap?

Id put in the new pump and check again.

Also how much fuel was in the tank

Very Much sounds like Factory fuel/boost cut Mine did it at about 10psi with the stock computer....my head nearly hit the steering wheel at 4000rpm.

Stock ECU + 12psi = thats your problem

Back it off to 9psi and you'll find the problem will go away.

Just the normal issue when using a stock ECU. Furthermore, you should not be running 12psi on the stock turbo :thumbsup:

Alright, ill try that and see what happens:), thanks guys.

Is it a limitation of the stock ecu, and should i get the fuel pump installed anyway?

Um...my coils are gapped at .5mm to stop the missfiring, which i knw sounds ridiculous, but its the only way for it to stop!.

Ive since ordered splitfieres which should be hopefully arriving soon.....will gapping back to 1mm with the splitfires increase performance on the same boost?

Can someone explain the surging to me?

I am having real problems with my car at the moment is freaking me out i was just meant to go to work in chatswood and turned around and went home i was scared! I have r33 s2 stock turbo @ 12psi mech controller, fmic, turbo back zorst, pod. Its been fine pretty much had it at 12psi for over 6 months. But it gets this sort of stuttering during acceleration/spool, typically when i DONT put my down enough for high boost, which can be REALLY alarming sometimes and the car jolts. Its freaky. It only got serviced 2000km ago. It happens mostly in 2nd, but a bit in 1st and 3rd and can kinda tell some other times too just alot more subtle. Its also idling a tiny bit funny i think.

I was thinking my fuel pump, its stock and car has 99k kms? Now im thinking afm? Or boost controller? I dont know. If my 12psi was a problem logically i would think i'd be experiencing the problem max boosting but thats not the case in the least.

take it off, clean it with electronic contact cleaner.

You can also use degreaser.

when I did mine, I only had degreaser.

so I took it off the car, degreased it, washed it out with slow running water.

Got the wifes hair dryer and dried it out completely.

put it back on the car and it was fine.

Some people also have a problem where the internal connectors have broken off and need to be re-soldered. that is also easy.

but try the cleaning first.

if you bother to go get electrical contact cleaner, you don't have to wash it out and it dries by itself.

you can probably find it at places like Tandy, dick smiths or Jaycar.

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
