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.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
