When accelerating in second gear form 60 to 100 sometimes theres a slight flat spot at the 80Km mark.

I have a 93 R33 manual Exhaust blow off valve.

I thought this may becauce of the exhaust and/or blow off valve

but I noticed this on another skyline I test drove a dead stock 95 r33 man.

I have only owned the car a couple of months and I am new to turbo cars. Is this normal? or do I have a fault?

Probably just the way the stock fuel maps are setup in the ECU - if you wish to reduce it you will need a method by which you can adjust the air/fuel mixtures at particular revs... most use a S-AFC, piggy back ECU, or aftermarket ECU to do this. Hope that helps..

If you get a boost controller you will probably need some sort of fuel cut defender or you will get an even bigger flat spot. Do any electronic boost controllers have these? My Profec B doesn't, the car came with a HKS fuel cut defender as well and it works perfectly.

Mines got a bit of a flat spot too, sort of surges abit, its running way too rich as it backfires sometimes too. But sometimes it will pull all the way, but when it gets warmer (motor, airflow) it gets more consistant. First im going to try a cold air intake, as when i pop the bonnet and put my hand over the pod, it is very hot.

Yepp - this is very typical from the R33's.

You should see my dyno run !! Big dip in power when the ECU pulls timing and dumps fuel at about 4-5000 rpm :)

The S-AFC will help. It fools the ECU and shows the ECU a reduced air flow rate, therefore the ECU doesn't pull as much timing blah blah blah.

has happened with my rb30 as well hehehe

what it sounds like is mainly ur afm

im not too sure about the right setting for a rb25 , but with a rb30 , the air flow meter , needs to read a set ohmage of 382ohms , this measurement is taken from the 2 outer most pins on the afm , where the loom plug connects to it.

if its out it dummys info to the computer which is not correct and makes it run rich/lean etc , causes flatspots and hesitation etc etc etc.

also things like malpassi rising rate regulators can do it too , as boost hits , the fuel pressure rate rises at whatever rate the reg is (1.5:1) etc and that sudden fuel dump doesnt immediately get burnt , bit of a dull spot.

Robo's Yours sounds exactly the same as mine.

Have you tried a smaller gap on your plugs yet?

Unfortunatly I live out in the country and I am the only one in town with a r33 gtst so I cant swap the air flow meter with someone.

Anyone else had this problem and solved it (cant afford SAFC).

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
