Hi smokem

He has assumed you are running stock turbo (and I am assuming you are using the factory ECU). It is mostly likely the ECU airflow cut you are experiencing. Aftermarket engine management or running lower boost (to reduce airflow) are the fixes.

It is harsh that people feel the need to call others idiots for not knowing everything but it is a frustration based on the lack of effort by people in searching through the forum for the answer first before starting another thread to answer the same tired old questions.

I hope there is some confirmation of what the issue was for the original poster when it is rectified or else this thread will have been for nothing.

Yes, my point is that without him saying he's running both aftermarket turbo and ECU, we can only assume he isn't. Therefor if the stock turbo survives running 15psi long enough, he'll be experiencing the ECU freaking from overboost (I think anything over 12psi with stock ECU makes it cry)

If he didn't have a semi-smartass response to the "being shot" comment, mentioning we didn't know anything about his engine it wouldnt matter...but maybe when he was typing it, he should have thought to tell us about his engine.

Either way, if you're running aftermarket gear, coils, plugs, or AFM

my response was not semi-smart arseish.... im not an idiot, i was trying to help out another user on this thread with similar problems to me.

the reason for not posting my engine details were cos its not my thread, the problem we are trying to fix here is of the original poster, not mine. i was offering personal experince in hope of helping him.

i use the search function excessively, when i cant find the exact answer to my question, i will post.

if it is ECU airflow cut, is there any reason it would be happening below 12psi?

thanks

OK.

yesterday I took the coils out and taped them up and the car ran great, revving to redline with only minor hesitation, for about 5 minutes until it started playing up again. Now it runs like crap and when i went to start it last night it wouldnt even idle properly for about 30 seconds then would only rev to about 3000 - 3500 rpm. 5 out of 6 coil packs had something rattling around inside them when i shook them? is that normal? Should I fork out the $400 for JJR coil packs or is there an alternative?

I think you just answered your own question

Yes is the simple answer

I would have factored in the cost of replacement coils when i bought my Skyline. Most are coming on to between 10 and 15 years old now so its about time regardless of mileage, sorry kilometers to think about changing them. There bound to have started to brake down from the heat at the very least.

Why was this not picked up on the test drive though??????

Other things that I replaced regardless when I bought mine were

Oil oil filter and spark plugs

AFM

02 Sensor

brake fluid and coolent

cam belt

and brake pads and disks

ALL of the above is the min and not really that expensive and really should be done anyway imo to give you peace of mind

If you think its expensive then maybe a Skyline is not the car for you.

Also cut out issues and rough running can also be coursed by a loom that runs under the the drivers side wheel arch plastic. The wires become corroded and split you might want to have a look at that too.

ok, today i got my yellow jacket coils and put them in, I also got a front mount and made sure everything was tightened up tight. It still breaks down????

Ive noticed it will run good when not warmed right up, or on long highway drives in cold night, So temperture is definetely causing it.

What else couldd it possibly be, i checked the plugs and they looked fine but could they possibly look alright but be the problem?

I cant understand why a stock r33 with new coils and front mount can stuff up like this?

Anyone got any other ideas?

You changed the coils without getting new plugs?

Personally considering this is the questioning area i would've got new everything, but each to there own i guess.

Get new plugs

i have the same problem with this on my 33 also, i got some answers saying my boost is too high

thats my topic on my turbo lagg

Edited by TRYNCY
could it be boost cut??

my car did it when I first got it, might wanna try a Fuel cut defender ( cheap as from any import wreckers)

band aid fix, and it probably wont fix your problem. Get the car properly tuned by remapping the ECU or a nistune. Fairly cheap and will see great results.

Do it once and do it properly.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
