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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
