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).

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
