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).

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
