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.

    • Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.
    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
