posting on behalf of a friends r33 which has serious problem

mods

rb25det series 1

splitfire coilpacks

cooler

exhaust

10psi

stock ecu

items we have tried and replaced with items off my car.

afm

3 different fuel pumps, now running stock rb25 fuel pump

coil pack igniter

cas

fuel regulator

basically im gonna try best describe what the car does.

sometimes the car will drive fine for half a day or all day then all of a sudden the car will start surging just while driving along at 60kmph or 100kmph

this is when the fun begins, once the car starts surging it will basically just cut the ignition and u have to put ur foot flat to the floor to keep the engine going, thing is the car doesnt rev or go anywhere with it flat

to the floor, u can hear the turbo spooling and the bov goes off a bit but the motor isnt reving or accelerating and thats flat to the floor for about 20-30secs, and if u take ur foot off the accelerator the car will die

and u have to roll over side of the road and kick it over 3-4 times before it will go again.

the fella has a powerfc there aswell that he has tried plugging in and using on base map but it does the exact same thing.

does anyone have any ideas? we r out of ideas.

have tried replacing the above items but nothing has fixed it.

well the car u have to hold the accelerator flat to the floor to keep the motor from stalling and u can hear the turbo spooling still but the car doesnt accelerate or go anywhere like uve got it in neutral, and if you just let your foot of the accelrator the car will die and wont start again until u pull over and kick it over 3-4 times.

fuel filter has been replaced, plugs has been replaced, vacum leaks have been checked all clamps.

havnt checked for bad earth or anything? only thing i cant think of that is earthed is ya igniter pack?

hmmm pretty sure its all bolted on near towards coilpack no6

its really fkn hard 2 guess wot it is though

the car starts and runs perfect and then all of a sudden it will just do this out of the blue

wether u flog or baby the car.

So you've checked all the cooler piping and joins?

When my pipes partially blew off it wouldn't rev past 4grand, wouldn't make full boost obviously but was still spooling, it was just a massive air leak that would only open up under pressure. Off boost it drove fine. Made the car run pretty crap though under boost.

....ummmm blocked cat maybe?

yeah its not a vacum leak or join

the car WONT accelerate or make any boost, but u can hear the turbo spooling as u hold ur foot flat to the floor for 20-30 secs.

car doesnt DO ANYTHING at all cept roll along, its messed up.

car is running gutted cat. hmmm

If the car is lowered remove the front right wheel, then the guard cover, and check to see if the loom as been damaged by the wheel itself. I have seen lowered cars rub through the looms and create massive shorts and problems. One even caught fire and the loom had to be replaced.

Is it more likely to happen in the wet, hot days, after X amount of driving, on rough roads, etc.

Also make sure you carefully check all the wiring, especially in the engine bay.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
