I just bought an 95 R33. And i found that under boost it would jolt a few times then pickup. I decided to change the plugs and noticed there were 3 different types of plugs. a few colder plugs, iridium and copper ones.... anyway i replaced them with std NGK .8mm gaped copper plugs. and now i have a problem where if i i rev out a gear at 3/4 throttle it pulls pretty hard, as soon as i go full throttle you can tell the car just loses power. Can anyone please tell me any idea's or anything to look into to try troubleshoot this problem?

Thank You

what plugs are you running? you would need BCPR6ES. could be wrong temp.

I think there BCPR6 i could be wrong though. What does the ES stand for?

how much boost, and list your mods.

I have a hunch that you are hitting the Rich and retard.

The plugs i got sold are BKR6E Should these be ok?

The car is a S1 R33

It is running 10psi and has forged pistons.

Im going to put a boost guage on today to find out exactly how much is going through it and if it's spiking, It has a manual turbosmart bleed valve (i think)

I changed the spark plugs and also changed the fuel filter (i think that was the cause of the problem) and last night i drove it and it went amazing. I was really happy. Then this morning it was -4 and i drive it and it just kept hesitating. Could the air have just been too cold and made the car run lean? Or does any one have any idea's?

could be coilpacks, sometimes putting new plugs in will fix it for a few days, then the problem comes back.

is it misfiring? some owners are unsure what misfiring is which makes internet diagnosis very hard..

It's hard to explane. it's like it chokes for a sec then picks up.

I had the same problem a few months back, changed spark plugs and it helped for about 20 mins of driving, i then changed my fuel filter and it was absolutly filthy. I found that i got a dodgy tank of fuel (BP deer park western hwy), i siphoned out the tank and filled up with new juice and it went like a rocket again. I know u haved changed the filter but what about the petrol? Just throwing my 2 cents in.

Yea im really confused. because today when i drove it it was playing up. parked it for 20 minutes. kept driving and it flew with no problems. I got the mixtures checked quickly and they said it's running slightly lean on idle. So im going to check fuel pressure and make sure thats ok. but tonight i took it for a quick drive after changing the oil and pulling out the bleed valve. it was running about 7psi and reved cleanly with no hessitations or anything like that.......

Any more idea's?

Hey guys, long time lurker first time poster.

Ive just been through a similar problem, r33 s1 with a missfire problem and this is what i found.

When i increased the boost to around 12psi, there was the usual R&R/missfire problem. Changed plugs, got safc and tune but it was the coilpacks that fixed it in the end.

Now she runs well EXCEPT for high boost under load at low rpm, ie 12psi @ 2500-3000 rpm in a high gear. The ratios are still ok but it feels like it is hesitating or not picking up like it should. The only thing i can think of is that when the ecu sees the high airflow corresponding to 12psi when it was expecting the airflow corresponding to 5psi it adds a lot of retardation.

Therefore the stock ecu is the problem at high boost low rpm. Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone with a pfc have this problem?

I spoke to soon. Even at std boost it has that problem. I cleaned out my AFM but that hasn't fixed the problem. I noticed on the plugs i took out that around the face near the thread it was black which is normal but on the part where is spark arc's to it was covered in white.... is this normal?

Today my car just decided to stall when i pulled up at a give way sign. started up again and put my foot down to move off....stalled again. i was finally able to drive it into a car park and stop. left it for about an hour and drive it again, this time it almost stalled a few times. then i drive it again tonight and it ran perfectally...... God i hope i can find this problem soon.

Yea i have a aftermarket bov. i just checked the fuel pressure. with the car running and the vac line off it's around 41psi. with the vac line on it is stable at 34.5psi if you rev the car it settles on 36psi for a sec then drops to 34.5psi. Does this all sound fine?

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
