Hmmm i've forgotten some details from the start but.. so you'll be driving.... and you give it a bit and it sorta just cuts everything... then comes back on?? If you hold that throttle will it keep doing it? My car did this for a bit ages and ages ago... I put new plugs in and it went away for a couple of months... and then i changed the plugs again and it hasn't come back... so i suggest you change the plugs and see if that makes a difference.

I think the stalling issue might be completely seperate to the loss of power issue. Check the gasket on the bov and also the condition of the valve as many people have issues with atmo bov's and rough idles/stalling issues.

gday mate,

i used to have a 95 r33... some of the 95's are a series 1.5, they are a series 1 shape, but have a series 2 engine. which can be a pain when people tell you ser1 problems and cures, that ser2 might not have.

my 33 had a similar problem.. took nearly 9 months to find it. we tried all sorts of tuning, coils, plugs, fuel issues... turned out it was a very fine split, on the underside of the hot intercooler pipe that goes through the body, just under the pod. vibration had caused it to cut very finely and just enough to play with things, but not gush out completly... it wasnt until it cut all the way through and wouldnt run that i found it. it would run and idle ok, boost it though and it would rich up so much that it wouldnt run.

just a thought... hope its something simple like that... i spent thousands... had a nice package by the end, but it was all for the wrong reasons and sold it not long after it got going properly... wish i didnt but anyway.

cheers

ok i got the car dynoed. and as usuall it didn't play up. made 202kw which i was happy about. but driving it day has just pissed me up the wall. i gave it a bit of a rev out through all the gears and 1st was fine, 2nd was ok too as soon as i got into 3rd it was like it would have power for a sec, then feel really flat for a few seconds but boost and revs still kept going up, then it would have power back and then gone again. I am just sick of this car feeling really flat whenever it feels like it. then after doing that and driving around a little bit more. i did exactly the same thing and it reved out so smoothly and had heaps of power all through the rev range....... what the hell is going on with my car. I have cleaned out the AFM with electrical contact cleaner but that hasn't made a difference. Oh and on the dyno it was running slightly lean just on boost and at peak power. But he said if it was his car he would tune it to that ratio... im trying to get a AFM to test if that is the problem but no one seams to have a "working" spare one. The only other thing i was thinking is fuel pump.. and the fuel tank was full.

Mine was doing a similiar thing. Half to 3/4 throttle would go hard but full throttle would feel like something was holding it back. Changes A/F meter and plugs then put it on a dyno. Found it was leangin out bad and that the timing was out a bit. Tuner had it fixed in no time. Cost me bout 300 all up and now goes hard as f**k.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
