hey guys

Just wondering if anyone can give me advice on this problem i have.

I have a r33 s2 gtst with 3.5 exhaust, fmic, hks stainless steel pod, stock boost, 60 000km on the clock

The car ran beautifully and 2 days ago i installed a box for the pod filter.

Car still ran fine after this install

Then this afternoon i gave the car a few good runs and it started to make popping noise from the exhaust.

This happens under hard acceleration and only in the rev ranges of 4000 to 5500.

I have read many posts on this problem but i still have a few questions.

1. has anyone else had this problem runing stock boost?

2. do you think that because the filter is getting cooler air now that its causing the problem?

any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Simon

shouldnt be because of making the airbox, all that would do is increase efficentcy a.k.a cooler air better combustion.....

u may be getting a little boost spike due to the cold air but it shouldnt be much on stock boost, hence u can rule out boost cut....

make sure u havent damaged the afm or the plug/lead around the area

thanks dude

i`ll check the plug and afm as well, great care was taken when removing it but will double check

one thing i did notice about the afm was that the resistor wire looked like it had a bit of gunk on it,

do you thing i should hit it with the carby cleaner?

i can see that theres a few of us on the same boat.

Hey Buddy, did you regap your spark plugs at 0.8mm before putting them in?

and what type sparkies did you use?

R33 S2, let us know if the new coils cures it.

I was also looking at a set of splitfire coil packs from hi octane racing for 600, is this price reasonable?

Its coils.. I fixed it with a power fc and plugs gapped to 0.6. New coils coming soon.

the air box issue doesn't surprise me as i run one and had it BAD! It was always worse in the colder night time temperatures.

hey guys

pulled out my plugs today.

the car had a set of hks plugs through it and the tips of the electrode are still pointy and shinny.

had a quick look at the coils and they look pretty good on first inspection.

will have a proper look at the coils tomorrow in the day light.

Also going to put a set of new plugs gapped at 0.8 or 0.9 tomorrow.

So i`ll get the plugs in and re install everthing tomorrow night and hopefully it should run sweat.

If not then a set of new coils are on the table.

Cheers Simon.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
