Hey Guys.

Was working on my R33 GTS-T Series 2. Put in new plugs. and now the car has never run the same.

I replace the plugs as the car was unstabe under heavy throttle loads.

I put it back together and its running like a WRX.

After this tho....

I bought new CoilPacks, and new plugs again... and gapped them. and changed the fuel filter.

AND it is still running like a shitbucket wrx. tested crank angle sensor and engin compression ratio, and also fuel pressure.

Any Help.

Next step is to have a look at the injectors.

Any suggestions before i take my car to bits?????

Cheers,

Michael

yeah will do..

My mechanic mate has put more plugs in and tested them... but will get him to do it again.

So not fuel related.????

Even though it is running lean?

Keep coming with the suggestions :D

It's probably an ignition issue. Try swapping an ignitor with a buddy and see if that works. Also, what are you gaping the plugs to and what kind of coils are you running? Pull the cover off an pull the coil plugs off one at a time. the one that doesn't just about kill the motor and sounds the same is your problem cylinder.

Your car probably isn't actually running lean. If you don't have spark in one cylinder then air and fuel is just passing threw causing the wideband to read lean.

Hope that helps.

I have had new plugs that where stuffed straight out of the box, quite a few times over the years, but

Try testing the wiring loom for the coils, the loom for these that runs to coils is fairly straight foward to remove from car. I'd bet the loom has poor conections inside it and since you moved this to fit new plugs etc, its proberly upset the ageing factory wiring.

(note) it may test ok, have a look inside loom, I recently did on my gtr and found a real problem as there is a number of wire crimps, which I soldered and my car its now even more of a joy to drive than ever before. If you don't realy know how to solder best to get someone who knows what their doing as these wires are a bit thick at crimped area.

TIP don't just wrap in electrical tape use self alamagating tape, far better sealing properties but expensive. Jaycar have it.

Hope this helps.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
