hey guys, have an r33 gts-t, had it for a few months now, it has a front mount, pod filter, and full exhaust, but it seems to be lacking in power, it launches when it first comes on boost, but after about 3000rpm it doesnt seem to be pulling like it should be, it and then sometimes kicks again up around 6000rpm, maybe im just bein paranoid but im sure its something, iv been reading around abit and read a post where the guy had, what seemed like a similar problem, some people mentioned it could be to do with the coils, or the cat, does this sound like that?

thanks guys

Hi.

I realise you are new and all. But a suggestion of good use is the search button.

This type of problem is common, and VERY well covered in a great amount of threads.

Just search for "rich and retard" "coils" "midrange" and you'll find heaps of information

Cheers

i had searched for coils, but i still wasnt sure if that was it, thanks for the other suggestions, i wasnt sure what else to look for.

The boost is stock, same with the fuel system. hopefully il find my answers in the searchs, thankyou.

hey mate, try getting rid of the 2 stage boost that they have as stock. it will be running 5psi up to 4800rpm then jumps up to 7 or 8psi after that. look on the DIY section of sau on how to do it. give that a go and see if that helps.

So if I may… in my own defence… that is why I gave the key search words to use to lend a hand to more information so that one may find lots more information that would be posted in this thread :rofl:

Take it to a mechanic knowledgeable with Skylines. Unless you're mechanically inclined, he will be able to sort out the issue quicker than any number of posts on here and you randomly poking around could achieve. m2c.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
