R33 Rough Idle And Stuttering

Hi Guys.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction of solving such a seemingly insignificant problem.

Car: ECR33 GTS-T 186XXX km's, running 10PSI with bleed valve, Simota Pod filter, Gearbox Oil and Engine Oil + Filter changed less than 500kms ago.

When stepping on the pedal from idle lightly, the engine stutters roughly and then raises smoothly. The injectors tick/ tap like crazy and seem to have gotten louder in the last 1000kms and wasn't rectified when changing the oil? - if that matters at all.

When cold and gradually accelerating from 1000rpm to 3000rpm the car feels like it jutters forwards sometimes, like inconsistant power and is spasmodic in nature and minimal.

I don't have any experience with altering timing etc. but from what I have read I think this may have something to do with it. Also, the injectors are original and I have run Nulon fuel system/ injector cleaner through with a slight difference. Plugs have been cleaned and are not fouled up. Coil packs have been cleaned up and sealed using epoxy resin to cover cracks etc. with no misfire on boost :O I have cleaned the AAC valve and this has done nothing at all.

According to the previous owner, the O2 sensor in the dump pipe has been replaced - it doens't look like the original, although I am sure that the sensor in the cat has not been replaced.

Please help anyone! -

but below are just some fix.....

try cleaning ur iacv..using some good carby cleaner/throttle body cleaner.....

that made alot of difference on most people skylines...

and also try cleaning ur afm out..using a good electrical cleaner....

other than that theres not much else you can do...

check ur spark-plugs...make sure there regapped to 0.8mm...

make sure u dont have any vac. leaks...

and have u got the standard blow-off valve?? atmo bov causes idle issues...

and last but not least get a tune...

'bumble_bee' - Thankyou very much for the reply. I will check my bov - apparently it has been modified in some way and I will make sure I check the plugs as well - they are at 1.1mm. I will be getting a tune done too I think :ermm:

If anyone else can help, I would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
