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

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
