Hey guys ..

My R33 Automatic gtst when accelerated hard starts to cough after a certain point.... it coughs and regains acceleration and again coughs and that continues... but the car drives great when it is not taken to high acceleration .... i dont normally race the car to high rpm ... and the car is running on standard boost at the moment... so was wondering if anyone could help me out with this situation .... did anyone come across this before?

At a guess this happens around 4500rpm? Probably has between 80 000 and 100 000km on the clock?

Its your coil packs.

If you do a seach, youll find 11ty billion threads on this.

Get a set of split fire and chuck em in....your problem will probably be cured :)

well the cars done 164000 ks already .. and yeah it happens at around around 4 to 4.5 k rpm ehh........

could u in any way tell me where i could fine em by any chance mate ... :)

cheers

Autoworx in Wangara does good deals on the Split Fires i believe.

If he cant help, try some of the other performance/import shops.

XSpeed, C-red, Hyperdrive etc etc.

Have a look at the consolidated workshop thread here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Co...hr-t191756.html

and maybe call around to see who has them. Fitting them is an easy half hour job. Fairly straight forward but if you cant do it, im sure one of the workshops can help. :D

Good luck mate.

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
