I have the same problem got my line put on a dyno to find out WTF was happening, ends up it's running hell rich and is gutsing up. The solution SAFC or aftermarket ECU. I'm seriously looking at a WOLF plug and play, depends what plans you have for your car.

I will assume you are running higher than factory boost SIR33.

R33 GTS-T's are notorious for having a flatspot in the rev range due to the timing being retarded when running higher boost.

Power FC is your friend.

its starts boosting then when it hits about 3800-4000rpms it reallly struggles, but then after 5000rpm the boost kicks in hard again. standard boost. exhaust. bov and filter.

cheers

I am having a very similar problem, except occasionally after letting off the throttle it starts stumbling really bad and takes a bit to recover as if the MAF is not working properly.

But like your problem, if I stay on the throttle after hesistation it kicks really hard and often spins tires afterwards.

I am using a Techtom MDM-100 to monitor, and it shows that timing is not being pulled and that it is not leaning out. I checked plugs more than once and they are fine and gapped properly. I am only boosting 10 psi MAX.

I am also now running a z32 MAF along with Apex'i S-AFC to try and fix the problem but that is not changing anything.

Very frustrated and do not know where to look next.

Blitz is spot on.

Sir33 you have filter and exhaust, meaning you are no longer running std boost, as due to increasing the flow characteristics you pick up a couple of pounds boost.

I had same prob when i first got mine with the same mods as you, but i had a bleed valve. Mine was more a problem when it was very cold, boost spiked, AFM freaks out and the std ECU pulls back the timing.

Power FC is your very best friend!!! In my opinion if you want to mod change the ecu coz they run SOOO much better when tuned for your mods, even just filter and exhaust. No flat spots, just smooth power all the way to the redline.

I had a similar problem except it was misfiring like crazy. I've got one of those old skool Apexi S-AFC's and whacked the car onto the dyno. Gapped the plugs and advanced the timing ever so slightly - Problem solved. I am running standard ecu 2 as well as aftermarket zorst and filter. I'd be checking what kinda spark plugs you have also if they weren't recently installed.

    • 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.
