Hi im having trouble with the car and its starting to do my head in, if any one can help it would be much appreciated.

Ill give a brief spec. R32 GTR (r33 engine), HKS gtrs turbos, Apexi power FC, Splitfire coils, Greddy iridium plugs, Tomei fuel pump,

Tomei pressure reg, Sard 555cc injectors, running around 500bhp at 1.3 Bar(when its running right).

The car runs ok flat out under 1 bar boost, it will give a slight pop just before the turbos come into action,

its when i turn the boost higher than a bar and the revs hit 5,000 the power just dissapears and the car starts to pop

and miss its not violent but the loss of power is very noticable. To make it strange you could push the revs on in third with

the car spluttering and as soon as fourth is engaged power returns with no miss.

I replaced the plugs 2 days ago with greddys and noticed a slight improvment(gap set at .6)

More recently with a slight load uphill the power comes and goes but with the o2 sensors

off this problem is all but gone.

If any one has any suggestions please help this is really starting to annoy me ive run out of things to check

and the moneys running as thin as my patience.

Thanks, Kieran

Hi thanks for the reply ive checked for boost leaks and it all looks good the car holds .9 bar without any loss of power,

but any higher and the problem increases with boost.

The origonal spark gap was around .75 but after changing to .6 the engine semed to run smoother in the higher revs.

I havent checked fuel pressure in a while, the last owner said the fuel pump is 5 or 6 years old so this is definatley

worth looking at. I had a run on a dyno and the fueling showed up lean top end i put this down to the map which was

done at a lower boost,

In the next few days i should have a loan of coils, a timing light and a fuel pressure kit

ill post up what i find.

Thanks for the help, if anyone has an idea do share.

Hi ran a fuel test today and found fuel pressure at idle 1.7 bar, with the return hose

clamped no difference and the vacuum removed from the regulator no difference,

adjusting the reg. made no difference until the screw was nearly fully out when

the pressure dropped.

I should have a pump friday but ill check to make sure everything is ok in tank

just in case.

Can anyone recommend a good pump for around 280 l/h with cost in mind.

Thanks, KMN

I found a tuner with a walbro pump hes offered to supply and fit for around €200, too easy to pass up.

The car is running a tomei fuel reg.

I'm living in Ireland so postage and trying to pay you is just arwkward, thanks for the offer.

Ive priced a few good pumps and they work out about €500. I was thinking external pump

but its a lot of work and it means dumping rear seats or subs.

Ill post up what happens after the pump, hopefully ill have a dyno print out and a smile.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
