hi everyone i have a 1995 r33 gtst, only things done are an apexi filter, full 3'' turbo back (no cat), and a fmic, hks blow-off..... so car idles fine and cruises ok but once you start pushing on the gas pedal my afr's (its a narrow band) just start droppping, to as low as 10 to 1 and as soon as i hit 5 psi i hit fuel cut. So my buddy has nistune and we plugged his laptop into my car and watch what its doing and everything looks normal expect for my maf and injector which under any kind of load max out, so we thought the maf was defective and i sourced a compatible maf and install it.... no different, try removing the blow-off and installed the factory one..... no difference, checked all the piping for leaks.... all is tight and no leaks at present time.... has anyone one had this problem or something similar? the motor is a r33 series 2 motor.

I had an identical problem with my 33 a few years ago. Turned out to be a boost leak in one of the silicon hoses. Looked 4 times before i found it. It was a split located in a spot where I had to pull the pipe out to see it :verymad:

At what boost/prm is the afm hitting 5.1v?

it depends on the rpm its anywhere between 2-4k and i cant get pass 5 psi

like you said it could be a boost leak and it could be one of the silicon couplers i guess i could recheck them again, all the silicon couplers are new

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
