I have a 1996 series II R33 skyline (turbo) and it has spent almost 10 weeks at 2 or 3 different mechanics in town to no avail. The car will idle hunt...rev up & down irratically...wont sit on 1000rpm and pure like a kitten unless cold or you sit there and be patient and by luck get it to idle normally. The car stalls at any gear change after its warmed up. It also has nothing from 4000rpm onwards...but from idle to 4000rpm its a rocket...coil problem? AFM has been replaced and the engine is a tank...all tests have been done...compression etc and the mechanics told me that the engine and its components are perfect...the car more or less is a tank a perfect import.....i bought a new Garrett turbo 340hp....car has all other normal mods...run on stock boost. the mechanics have swapped computers with a 32....and all other components. The car was fine til the stock turbo blew which was fine...then upgraded to some monsta 600hp turbo which then was faulty....have bitten the bullet and bought a quality garret turbo run off the stocko manifold. have no ide what to do next....my options are limited.....mechanics have checked everything possible....it has to be something small which i may never find which could cost me a great car.....so has anyone had this before or know what to do next? otherwise my r33 will be used for parts.....

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
