I have a stock R33 Series 2 (with HKS Pod)

When I have one or more people in the car it revs strongly and smoothly to 5000rpm but between there and the redline it misses and I get power drops. The car is in great condition only 60,000kms on the clock. Even with only me in the car it doesnt seem to want to go all the way to redline (not that I do this very often).

Under 5000rpm it is faultless.

Is it due to the standard exhaust, spark plugs gapped too wide, etc. I just want to know which mod is most likely to fix this problem.

:P

I had the same sorta problem aswell on my r32, so i did a diagnostic on the ECU which came up with the knock sensors. Once fixed it was a totally different car. Just something to think about.

Also have look around on these forums, a few people have had similar problems.

;)

Can sometimes be a slightly mistightened hose clamp to your intake (say intercooler piping). Often that can only become exposed when a heap of pressure is going through it, and then the ECU has troubles with the lack of air and starts cutting to protect the engine.

I've had that problem a couple of times with it not revving past 3k, didn't know wtf was going on until i discovered it was just a lose hose clamp on my intercooler. Clamp properly tighened and back to 7k redlines..

otherwise plugs, coilpacks, etc.. the usaul..do a search

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
