have an update guys

after fitting my controller i set the boost to 8 psi ish, and now when giving it juice it starts to POP after around 4 or 5k rpm, it feels like it his redline and dosent want to gain anymore rpm and goes pop pop pop pop pop pop untill i back off, the boost dosent creep past 10 psi when this happens so it must be something with the engine, any ideas?

that sounds like R&R now

are you sure you are setting it to 8psi and not reading 0.8kgcm2 on the stock guage?

0.8kgcm2 or 0.8 bar is very different to 8psi

its definatly psi, the guage says psi

would r&r cause it to pop like this though? i thought it would just run slower and richer, this was like crazy popping like the rev limiter but replace the revs with pops, and wouldnt rev more

nah R&R basically just feels flat and empty

ie all the power drops off but the car keeps going

popping / farting flat out is either

detonation

misfire

detonation is from too much boost, poor spark, poor spark gap, poor fuel, poor timing, poor compression, too high intake temp

misfire is from

poor spark, poor coils, damaged coils, damaged or mangled spark wiring / loom, other electricial issues

do you think the above mentioned issues with a cracked coil or to large a gap for plugs would cause this?

yep, absolutely, it's a really common problem with skylines. the coilpacks often need replacing after 100k km. the popping is prob the misfire, i have the same problem.

try the above methods and see how it goes: reduce gap, tape coilpacks, silicon coilpacks, replace coilpacks (or just skip to that)

cheers mate, will try them all this weekend and report back, hoping it fixes the issue! i dont mind spending some cash on coilpacks if they need replacing though, if thats whats causing it

cheers

are you running stock ecu?

if you have full exhaust/ intake then even if you set the boost to 8 it's gonna creep past that no matter what. r33 ecu's are very finicky. so hell maybe its just creeping to 9psi.

that could still cause it to go into r&R.

oh, i didnt know that it will creep no matter what with the mods...

i have

3 inch bellmouth, high flow cat, 3.5 inch cat back

normal airbox with k&n filter

fmic

stock ecu (i think, i might have to make sure)

i always thought it was something wrong because, theres a limiter, weather it be the actuator, or the boost controller, that it limits the pressure by releasing the flap, so i just dont understand how it can over pressurize

Just to add my experience to this, maybe it will help someone or someone can help me.

I have an R33 manual.

- 3inch belmouth dump pipe, xforce cat (dont know how old it is?), 3inch stainless sytem

- Pod filter

- R34 SMIC (cleaned it out as well as the piping.

My car has developed a bit of a flat spot on really cold nights (worse with fog) so its probably getting to R&R point.

Interestingly my boost gauge (psi) only reads 7max! according to everyone i should be getting more than that?

thoughts?

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
