Rb25 Slow From 5000rpm Onwards

Hey guys, I have a 1993 R33 Skyline.

I recently had it converted to manual, at the same time, i had a full service (inc spark plugs), new timing belt and water pump (by NisPro).

The car has 3" catback exhaust, turbotech manual boost controller set at 10psi, VeePort BOV and a HKS mushroom air filter, stock ecu and smic.

When flooring it, the car seems to pick up nicely around 3-4000rpm, but once it gets around 5, the boost guage still reads 10psi, but the car seems to take noticeably longer to get to 7rpm than from 3 to 5rpm. I had a friend with a 32 drive it, and he confirmed, from 5000rpm i've got nothing!

The car isn't hesitating/stuttering/making funny noises, it just seems like it's n/a from 5000rpm onwards.

I'm wanting to work out what's wrong. Jez suggested it could be my coil packs. After reading a few threads on SAU about them, I think i'm going to try and find a working pair to test that theory, what else can i look at?

Thanks guys :laugh:

I had the same problem in my 33. My ecu was richening a/f mixtures and retarding timing. Power FC and a good tune fixed me up, but if i were you id get it on the dyno and get the problem diagnosed that way. Itll save you a lot of money in the long run.

very well could be the bad rich and retard thing... too much air coming in so the stock ecu craps itself - dumps heaps of fuel in and pulls all the timing...

i done a manual conversion 3 years ago and have only just changed my ecu to a manual one(had SAFC2 fitted). it done nothing to the power when flooring it, only cleaned up idling and cruising. you need to get yourself at minimum a SAFC2 and get it tuned.

      haha this shit box doesn't drink coolant, for now       Let me guess, they make heaps of power, use the car for straight line driving and don't care about noise

      R34 GTR Front Diffuser/Guard Liner questions.

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part that I'm aware of. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they have to, somehow. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec (and is the price of the damn diffuser alone). How does the liner interact with this? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?

      Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?

      Cold compression test after rebuild... should I be worried?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      And most chargers that most DIY people own would put bugger all power back into the battery between cylinders. I've always done it with jumper packs/second battery connected. And that's on any car.   Because race car, and wanting the lightness.  At least in an R33, putting a bigger battery in can at least help shift the weight balance backwards
