Hey guys recently went for a drive in my mates skyline r33 gts-t and on high boost 12 psi the car was cutting out which we thought was the car was over boosting therefor hitting fuel cut, but then we turned it down back to standard boost and it continued to do the same.

My mate has been pulling his hair out on the situation and was even contemplating selling his beloved car which he loves more than anything in the world id i hate to see it go because i know how much it means to him.

I thought it may have been the coil packs but i was not sure what do you guys think the problem may be?

Is this common?

Cheers

Christian

Don't know how you could hit fuel cut - there isn't one :P

Sounds like coil packs or plugs or AFM related.

Simply have a search in Forced Induction. These types of threads come up on a daily basis.

To talk about selling for what is a minor and common issue is a bit drastic, perhaps take it to a workshop if you can't diagnose yourself?

hey mate, back when i had my 33, the engine would cut out and i couldnt rev past 5000rpm. i thought it was a whole heap of different problems but it ended up just being the spark plugs. this is y u only see a mechanic u trust since the idiot i got to look at mine said i had genuine iridiums running, but when i pulled them out i found cheap burnt out $2 plugs. chucked some NGK platinums in and suddenly i was able to hit the redline no problems. i suggest u check out those plugs mate

I had the same problem with my R33-t checked plugs was fine and ended up replacing my coil packs with splitfire, now no problems, they seem to build up some heat in that channel and give an hair line crack, but that was my problem.

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
