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).

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
