hey guys im new to the forums, ive got a 96 33 gtst some simple mods fmic 3'tbe mbc running about 10 psi.

recently i have been getting a problem while the car is under full load. boost will wind up to about 10psi and the car will hesitate and almost cut out the a moment later kicks back in at full boost. almost like fuel is being delivered at incorrect pressure or not in time.

am i right to say this would be a fuel/pressure related problem rather than a boost cut or computer issue?

would it be as simple as a new fuel pump and fpr

any ideas would be really appreciated

thanks guts

could be rich and retard - do a search for that and R&R to see if descriptions match yours.

could be fuel pressure related as well, only way to check is with a guage setup and take it for a drive, all std mechanics should be able to run a check on that while you drive the car.

wow....same car and problem here......my car is at TGS Performance as we speak, getting a new Denso Fuel Pump. (<>$450 fitted)

I'll let you know how I go.

Cheers.

see thats what direction i was heading in, the way fuel is delivered (or lack of) points towards fule pressure issue possibly from pump malfunction or failure. another idea was to check lines to see if blocked and also install fpr. i picked up a turbosmart fpr and am going to get a walbro item which are necessary modifications anyway and see if there is a difference.

ive just been converted from owing a subaru rs liberty so am fairly new to the rb25. if ecu was going into r&r mode then would it throw a code?

im pretty sure the r33 dosnt have r&r mode which only happen if u touch the standard boost solenoid wiring but these days u c so many skylines getting around with it disconected and then running high boost!

the r33's certainly do have R&R and it feels nasty when it cuts in.

it is air flow based not boost reading.

so if it is r&r mode then how do i go about diagnosis/ fixing?

ok so car is now running wastegate pressure and problem is still occuring. thinking of just sourcing pfc (which is logical mod anyway) and seeing if it rectifies problem. anyone know any good pfc tuner in western sydney (im in castle hill)

Hi, just an update after getting the car back (as above).

It was a heavy duty Bosch (in-tank) pump they installed (don't know why I said Denso earlier)...car now picks up smoother and more linearly (not in stages as it use to)....but still hits the 'sudden stop' syndrome when using higher gears and pedal to the metal......(Jolts badly).

When in a low gear (1st 2nd) no probs...very quick.

I have just gone out and taken the bleeder valve off my car (back to stock now..around a boring 7psi, not 11-12)....will test drive and see what happens.

Looking forward to seing if the 'black soot' returns to my rear bumper bar.....like it use to!...

But I do recall a little while back that a split was found in my IC piping, that was fixed and all was great....might have to get it all checked out again, I don't have the back for it right now.....hopefully the CT scan on my lower back I had this morning will finally find the answer!....to that problem anyway.

Anyways...I'll come back after a drive, if I can, shortly.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
