Picked up my new r33 few weeks back, happy with the car..

Gave it a cut and polish. looks like new. removed the windcutters on the side,

car looks even better.. removed some rust from the boot and gave it abit of a spray wit black can paint. amazing wat you can do to increase the looks of ur car. also got a nismo oil cap and horn for free.

anyway, 1 problem i was having wit the car was like every 1 else. 5 and a half thousand rpm the car would start to puff* from the zorst.. feel power slightly stop. I figured it was the coils.. I took it to one of my mates work shops. the dude changed the coils and the car was boosting fantastic. after giving it abit of caining he said car is good to go. which it was. he charged me mates rates at $150 bucks for 20 minutes worth of work. i also realised that i have a missing electronic boost controller.. the vacum was connected straight running full 10psi. just like VL style. (does any 1 know how much a stock boost controller costs?)

anyway.. i was driving home from dandenong and gave it abit on the right pedal abit.. not even and hour later. the coil is fcuked. well its puffing again.

can any 1 let me know what is making me chew up coils so quick. (how much for a new coil pack?, ill be doing the next change myself?)

and just another thing. when ur cruzing and the doors auto lock. does the driver side door as well?. because i think mine has been disconnected.

here is a pic of my car before i removed the performance stickers.

yer thats the one. OKay guys took my car for a nice run after i reset the ecu.. looks like the problem is gone.. the car is also running better and my turbo timer is working sweet.. i just have to reply cos im so happy.

i think the ecu used my old coil settings and retarded the timing or something i dunno, but know its fine..

What the... $150 for 20 minutes work? I hope that was including the price of the coils! Although I don't think there was anything wrong with them, it's common for the stock ECU to over fuel in upper rev ranges and cause a lot of smoke to be let out. If it happens again and resetting the ECU doesn't help, don't change the coils. Get something to tune the ECU with instead.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
