hi all,my r-33 is acting up and dont know why???

a little while back my battery died and while i was recharging it i drained the power out of my car by pressing on the brakes so it would reset the ecu.

put the fully charged battery back in and took it for a good drive and everything was running perfect.

yesterday i took it for a drive and i have noticed is that everytime i start the car its taking a while for it to kick over and when i got back i pulled up at my house put the clutch in and it almost stalled and i gave it a little rev and it started idle hunting and kept trying to stall.....any ideas? the last time it was idle hunting was when i had a bov but i took it off ages ago and the car is stock except for 3inch exhaust system.

the car is due for a service,needs new fluids,timing belt and spark plugs.

sounds like it would be your plugs mate

agreed plugs + possible shitty contact on your ecu....

shouldn't take long to crank... by the second yank on the starter should fire.... My plugs are shiz atm and she still fires within 1-2 seconds.

Check the contacts on the stuff under your parcel shelf from the boot.

Could just be the ecu re-learning shizness of the fuels in auz.

    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
