Hey guys ive just recently purchased an R33 gts-t series one.

When i start the car on a cold start it is revving at 1500rpm. After a couple of minutes it slowly drops to 1000rpm. Is this normal? Also at about 5500rpm the car starts to missfire fairly bad. Just wondering if this could be related. What is my best solution to these problems?

Any advice would be appreciated. Matt

you just bought it.

who knows when it was last serviced.

change the spark plugs to start with..

here's my recent service speed hump..

I was getting missfire at high revs too.

pics might show you why..

as for revs, mine doesn't rev that high at cold start so I'm not sure why that might be.

Idle can be adjusted.

and warm idle shouldn't be 1000rpm.

get your spark plugs, oil and oil filter changed.....and if it still continues then i guess check the boost controller sometimes people without knowing connect it back to front and that will cause the missfire as well.....idle at 1500 sounds ok to me and once its warmed up then it should go down to 1000rpm....

1000rpm at idle is too high for a 33gtst. it should be about 650-700rpm. you can easily adjust the warm idle via a screw at the vac idle valve thing at the rear of the plenum. this will probably fix your cold idle too. do a search.

as for the missfire, it may be plugs. if that isnt it. it may be coil packs. do a search. plenty of info

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
