i'll start with the mods first

r32 with rb25det series 2

full 3inch exhaust

fmic

hi/low boost control 7 and 10 psi

the problem is only when i put it on hi boost, when i put my foot down hard its like its pauses and stops boosting untill i lift my foot abit then it keeps going again?

I think its a coil pack problem?

cheers

its abit hard to go off without a full detailed description, as in....

what speed are u going when it happens, wot gear are u in

goes it miss and run rough (or studder) or is it simply not boosting

is it only cold nights?

it could be coilpacks, it could be spark plugs (or spark plug gap), u could have a boost leak, u could have a tps problem.... there is also alot more things it may be.....

go for another drive and mentally record exactly wot it does, at wot rpm, and wot throttle percentage, and exactly how the engine is running and abit more help....

otherwise check u have good fuel, u dont have air leak in the intercooler piping and maybe remove ur spark plugs and coilpacks and look for cracks or incorrect gaps

Cheers mate, I will go for a drive later and check all those things! One thing I do know it didn't run rough it just paused then I lifted my foot then it started boosting again

as soon as it paused I lifted my foot, I didn't give it a chance to miss and muck around!

wats it actualy doing? sounds like either boost cut or missfiring.

when my coilpacks were missing i noticed popping and a loss of power under full throttle

when i was hitting boost cut it ran fine and boosted fine but as it got to like 14psi a massive loss of power felt like everything just shut down then when boost dropped the car came back alive. ecu shouldnt hit boost cut at 10psi but ur boost gauge may be out or something.

ive had both yellow jackets and splitfires. both did exactly the same job. i originally bought the yellow jackets but a few weeks later i claimed splitfires for free on my used car warranty. yellow jackets/JJR/superspark are all china copies of splitfires so most of the time they'll do the same thing but u might get unlucky and get 1 faulty one or something like that. and also splitfires have been proven to run for many years without problems as for the china copies they've only been on the market for a few years so who knows how long they'll last.

yea same thing was happening after i got my safc tuned, only happened on cold nights. i just gave it like 90% throttle when it was real cold otherwise just turn the boost down a smidgen.

but if ur keen to do it properly and spend a bit of coin get a z32 afm and an ecu, i personally would just turn the boost down unless you were planning on getting an ecu anyways.

ive heard you can tune past the standard afm but apparently its not recommended. dont quote me on this but ur better off mentioning it to ur tuner getting his opinion

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
