Hey guys,

Well im not so good on the technical aspects of cars so was wondering if you guys could help me with my problem. My car (R33 gtst s1) is starting to react slowly. Flooring it from 1st and 2nd its fine. But when I cruise in gear and then floor it it lags. Its reading full boost but it gets like a second push after abit of lag. Is it my clutch ?

Could be clutch (very likely), but could also just be general maintenence issue like spark plugs, crap built up in pipes etc...

Could also just be the 'flat spot' in the rb25's around 4500 rpm then it'll kick back in around 6000ish.

Or could just be operator error! :P

if the clutch is slipping then the revs should rise but not your speed.

what sort of revs are you getting the lag at? is it always at a certain rpm or can it do it at any rpm? the r33's have a bit of a flat spot at 4500rpm when the VCT turns off. otherwise it could be your plugs or coils not coping that well with the sudden increase in fuel.

What gear are you cruising in?

4th / 5th?

Yeah you can floor it on 4th / 5th while cruising, but it won't be as effective as to down shift to a lower gear, like 3rd (power gear)...

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
