hey guys..

i have an r33 s1 gtst with the rb25det in it.. the car has an apexi n1 exhaust, frontmount cooler done by plazmaman, splitfire coil packs and an apexi avcr which just died (havnt worked out why yet but happened after the car got these next problems).. it has recently developed a problem out of nowhere and is running really rich i think (black crap all ova back of the car that it never used to get) but it will not boost properly, it hesitates badly or just cuts out altogether untill i let my foot back off the gas and is slowly getting worse, now it is gettin hard to drive off boost and its even starting to idle funny..

can anyone please help i dnt want to pay a performance shop if i can help it..

thats what i thought also but can seem to visually find any loose piping or worn silicone joins or clamps, it does get up on boost sometimes but its very hard to get it there.. may have a try at presurising it tomos and see how that goes..

just took it for a drive then and after i try give it a bit of gas and back off throttle while getting on the clutch it wants to stall and sometimes does stall.. and its still idleing very rough

any other ideas anyone

once pressurized, spray some carby cleaner or soapy water on the joints

if your running an atmo bov, make sure that the return is still blanked off, could have come loose or popped out

ok so i pressurised the pipe work and no leaks.. disconnected all the avcr gear and its a bit better n standard boost but is still really laggy!!

any other help would be great tryin to fix it all up be4 my sisters formal next week

few years back mine started running rough under decel and accel and black soot over the ass end but ran sweet when cruising. ended up being a cracked CAS bracket and timing was out.

+ 1

had a broken cas bracket on my 32

how much pressure did you put in the pipng?

other possibility is the AFM is dodgy

hey mate i just held it on for like a min and its a big compressor that runs my whole shop i assume the pressure was really high tho..

i swapped the coolant temp sensor and it seems to be running fine all the way through the revs @ 5psi but as soon as i switch it to 9psi it boosts up and then cuts just as the guage hits 9psi.. any chance it may be a dodgy stock fuel pressure regulator or even a tired fuel pump

CAS is on the front of the motor. round thing with 3 10mm bolts holding it on that when loosened allow you to turn it sideways a little bit (to adjust the timing). has a plug with a few wires in it coming out the side.

could possibly be a fuel pressure issue, but i don't really think so

going to ask a stupid question, but you aren't using the stock gauge as your only boost gauge are you? it you are then that is the reason why you are having issues. it doesn't read in PSI, so what you think is 9psi is a buttload higher. about 18psi in fact, and any issues you are having is the ECU going into it's protection mode.

na mate using an aftermarket guage one on the dash is disconnected.. and the cas appears to be fine.. i am starting to stress out cos i cant figure it out lol and being on the coast i dont know what shop i can take it too.. i did take my cars to the throttle shop at gosford but they are gone now

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
