Gday wanting to get a bit of advice.

I recently rebuilt the entire head on my R33. (snapped a cam shaft clean in half)

We were worried that one of the valves might have gone through the piston head so decided to not risk it and pull the whole head off and see. Did that and realised that clearance was way to far and valve didnt come anywhere near piston head. Anyway had the head off so i decided to rebuild the whole head. Got some heavy duty cam shafts, cam gears etc etc etc. All this rebuild stuff was done by a mechanic specialising in Rb25 heads.

Anyway now that the head is built and put on after the car has heatened up a bit once i get into boost its like she is just cutting out. exactly the same as when you would your boost controller up too high and kinda flood the engine.

was told that its most likely my coil packs had crack in them and electricity was spraying into the head causing a shirt to happen. It made sense so i got them all tested and they all came back A grade.

Now i am told that my HKS EVC might be the problem- i checked this and it did look like some hoses were hooked up wrong, i fixed these ( i think) and problem seems to be ok. I havent driven the bastards for a long period of time however as im getting it ready for a show.

Has anyone got an opinion on this.

help me out guys- i hope ive fixed it but im not 100 percent sure.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
