Hi Guys,

I was hoping you could give me some advice regarding my 1993 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T.

The problem I am having is quite difficult to explain. I'll be driving along normally with the throttle open and then all of a sudden the revs will drop and the engine will cut out. It's like the throttle just cuts out. I can have my foot flat to the floor and the revs just drop and the engine cuts out.

But, if I then turn the ignition off and restart the car, it will continue on driving normally until of course, it happens again!

This happens every trip I make in the car without fail. It generally happens after I go over a large bump, or when I change gears. It has also ocurred twice when I have activated my windscreen washers. It also tends to happen more often when the car is cold, or has been driven hard for the first time in the course of the trip.

It also has a tendency to happen when the car is at idle-albeit less frequently.

The car also has a tendency to hit flat spots and hesitate at high revs (above 4000).

I have had the car dyno-tuned twice and the plugs replaced in an attempt to solve the problem. The car also has a new clutch. But, the problem began to occur before the clutch was replaced. Other mods on the car include a turbo-timer, short shift gearbox and sports exhaust.

It has been suggested to me that it could either be an airflow problem, or, a problem with the ignition regulator/modulator, but, the mechanic I have been taking the car to has so far been unable to fix the problem. Obviously I am not too happy with this and was also hoping you could recommend a reputable mechanic/workshop in Melbourne that specialises in or at least has a great deal of experience with R33 Skylines.

From my limited knowledge of cars, I feel it is probably an electrical fault or fuel injection problem, but, I really don't know. This problem is very frustrating and also very embarrassing when it happens in the middle of an intersection-not to mention dangerous.

Any advice you could offer me on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Baby Zilla - 2 Things

1. Add your Location in your profile (We know you're in Melbourne Now!! LOL!)

2. I know a couple of places that will be able to fix your prob without ripping you off. Theres 3 Places I know of in Dandenong

and one near Knox area.

Let me know if I can be of service to you.

We had the same prob (TPS - Throttle Position Switch) with one of our ZX's, I was told that this only hapens in Auto Cars.

I dont think it have to do with gearbox... if something wrong with some sensor I think it would stuff up ur car no matter what gearbox you have.... n lucky my '93 R33 auto has been driving beautifully so far... zero mechanical problems....

    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
