im currently having similar problems with mine, especially after boosting it to 9psi. under hard acceleration it seems to be reluctant to go most of the time and will then stutter. i was told it is most definatley my coils, and have also been recommended splitfires. my mechanic said it was because my rea coil was shorting, every now and then when the hood is up you can hear a spark sort of sound which is the short.

hope you figure it out,

will have my coils in a few weeks hopfully that does the trick.

peace

Is there any chance you can let us all no. how you went with the new coils, did it fix the problem or is it still there etc.

thanks

jack

New plugs did the trick :)

hi all, i am have very similar problems with the splurting and hesitation under accelaration have put new twin spark plugs in and had a coilpack replaced when first purchased the car, so i know what a stuuffed coilpack feels like and this certainly is not as bad as that!!

seems to do it only under heavier accelaration, i can gradually feed the accelerator down as the rpm goes up and does tend to miss but have to play with accelerator a bit being careful not to feed to hard or will start choking and spluttering. also get alot of backfiring during gear changes at all types of rpm??????????????

please help unhappy accelarator!!

smidy,

I'm in the process of fixing the same issue in an R33 gtst for a friend. I have changed the plugs and also checked the cat. The issue is most likely still a coil pack, hairline cracks can result in a lesser breakdown issue. larger cracks give a much worse problem. The solution is in a tube of silastic. I'm done for the day on this car so we will glue the coils in the next few days.

yeah my old ones that are soon to be replaced have some silicon like stuff around them, my mechanic thinks it was used to prevent the problem but now just not working, ill keep you all posted when i get my coils in, may still b 2/3 weeks though unfortuantley cash flow has gone.

I fixed the problem now and it was not due to faulty coil packs or spark plugs.

The problem was the boost control valve i was runniing maybe too much boost or incorrect in some way or another , anyway i have takin it off completely and the car is running sweet with full power no hesitations or splurting.

Jack, what mods have been made to your R33?

Sure you weren't hitting fuel cut? if your running 10+psi without a fuel cut defender you will get hesitations/splurting. Also what heat-range plugs are you running?

I was getting hesitations/splurting, fixed it with NGK BKR7E plugs and a wasted-spark setup, car is running mint now with 12psi

Only upgraded and the intercooler and put a blow off valve on it... Im not sure what psi it was running when hesitatiing but it seems that ever since taking the boost valve off and running it stock it works fine with no hesitations.. its has less power but no hesitations. Im running the uridium plugs that they recommend for the skyline r33.

fuel cut defender i dont know what that is, i'm sure that could be the reason for the hesitations. where do i get 1? are they easy to install?

I'm not trying to have ago at you, but it sounds like you don't really know what your doing, I'd recommend you do a lot more research into modifying RB25DET's before you go cranking the boost up.

It probably was the fuel cut making your car have hesitations/splurting, which is a factory safety feature to stop people from over-boosting there cars.

if fuel cut on r33s is anyting like fuel cuts on s13 silvias (i would presume its the same, but i could be wrong), it sounds like a different problem. fuel cut on silvias is almost like violent cutout, its feels different to hessitations/splurting when excelerating.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
