Hi all,

I have a 1996 R33 gtst, resently had a problem arure,

I'll try to describe it..

The car hits boost starts to pull then at higher revs sounds like it is goin but its not

pulling anywere near how it should..

The car has a boost tap but only running around 8psi atm.. fmic and cat back exhaust..

I tryed running a straight line just from the actator straight to the cooler pipe (same result) i then tryed swaping the a.f.m (still same) the car was serviced 2k ago, im quite sure all the clamps on the cooler are tite, i replaced the spark plugs yestarday and all coil packs seem to be in good order.. I hav also changed the b.o.v thinking that it could be leaking .. (still same)

So im quite confused as to wat the problem could be../???

I know its real hard to diagnose with out seeing the car,

but just thought id ask the question

Thanx for any advice you can offer :banana:

Yea i changed the fule filter 2k ago as well, and the car was running like it a couple days ago i changed and plugs and the coils seem to be fine not cracked or anything and its still running the same..??

also it seams just b4 in goes to hit boost it hesatates a bit, and again in higher revs more so under aggresive acceleration...???

Umm the plugs are ...... the bloke from aout barn recons there perfect for the rb alredy no need to re-gap them..?? im gunna change all the coils today as well c how we go..??

Another question iz there any advantage to moving the a.f.m to the cooler piping and having just a straight pipe of the frount of the turbo (all with starndard computer) ...???

re-gap to 0.8mm... if weaker coils, higher powered cars, also considering age..

it's a laugh if your getting technical advice from auto barn.. i would look at one of the sponsors on here to get your equipment.. (also for supporting the people that support you)

I recommend Kudos on here as he checked all info and gave reasons as to why choose different items... instead of just reading what the manual states..

well today i pulled the fuel pump out seems to be in good working order, changed the coil paks, changed the plugs coulpe of days ago (gapped at 0.6mm) changed the air flow meter, checked all cooler clamps. changed the b.o.v just in case it was leaking... still same resault after all that ....???

Really running outa ideas...

Lol ahahah good point but im saying like no power dies in the ass bad! iv had a skyline 4 around 2 years i know how it was and how it should be lol.. i would say turbo yea but its not blowing any smoke and if u ease into it, it goes ok it when ur flat to the floor (to quike on the acceleratore) that it stuffs up..??

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
