Hey guys, i had enough of my car and need your help please...pleasee!

(sorry for starting a new thread but i had to, my car pissed me off so much last night)

:(:(:(

I bought a Skyline gts-t r33 ser II about 3 months ago and am not that familiar with turbo cars so i thought id ask some of you guys that have had one for a while, so all help is really aappreciated.

Mods on it:

Cat back exaust-(getting rest delivered soon i hope, waiting)

K&N Filter

Tubotech manual boost controller set to 11psi

Apexi cooler

story is: i used to have problems with misfiring until i gapped my plugs to .65mm. The car did start to run better but at times, like last night, car would misfire, cut out totally as if ive briefly let go of accelerator all together and have flat spots all over. car would hit full boost straight away but wouldnt pull, and i would feel it pull propely from maybe 4000 to 4500rpm, and it would go flat again and pull hard around 6500 to 7000rpm.

I dont want to waste money on unnecessary mods but whatever i need to buy i will. Im not going for huge power just decent.

Problem? Im not sure what i should upgrade (apart from front+dump pipe) that could help me overcome this problem. Most of the times when im by my self, car runs not too bad, but with a bit of load, forget it.

Solution-Can you guys suggest what you think could be and what would be the best was to fix it and also what upgrades i need.

Please only reply if you want to help. Really appreciated.

Plugs @ .65 = coil packs.

For your mods you should be able to run 1.0 on the plugs without a problem.

Also sounds like the stock ECU having a fit.

Back the boost off to 9psi (once you fix the coil packs) and i bet all problems go away

standard stuff really

UPDATE: Okay ran the car on 11psi and it seemed fine again. So my biggest issues come when i have load in the car-2 mates. Happend before and last night it happend again. Im going mechanics wednesday but i want to get some more mods suggestions, much apreciated.

back it off to 7psi even to where the ecu's range is. I'd reccomend getting somthing that u can tune/get tuned, even if u get an apexi afc/safc, power fc, nistune. something like that

mine was weird before i got my power fc. Upped the boost to 12psi and it hit 4500 and just stuttered, threw spitfires at it with .8mm plugs, still did it. Backed the boost off to abot 8 and it went fine

id say itll be ecu related.... but may just be ur coilpacks

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
