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.

      Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
