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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
