Hi fellas ,

i know there's a similar post ,but mine is behaving a little different .

For instance , i went to overtake someone on the hwy yesterday so dropped it back a gear , gave it some beans next thing it cuts out under full throttle , buy cutting out i mean nothing happened at all until i backed off the throttle . mainly just misses under load/boost . Ive sealed the coilpacks(standard) , checked the plugs (iridium) , and cleaned the AFM . Runs standard boost , and only mod is 3.5in turbo back stainless exhaust .

Any help would be appreciated.

might be worth checking for fault codes. if you discover a fault code then that will tell you exactly what the problem is and save a bit of guesswork. if there is no fault code then it becomes a process of elimination.

Well the cutting out comes and goes , but it consistently misses down low under load/boost with anything more than half throttle. might have to check for fault codes

thanks for the help

mine was exactly as you described, tried to fix the existing coils which didnt work. i then forked out on some new coils and it fixed it.

Yeah i changed all filters hoping that would solve it , but ended up forking out for some new coils (yellow jackets) and what do you know , no more miss !! Car drives beautiful and smooth now , noticeably more torque down low in the rev range .Quite impressed in the build quality of the yellow jackets , so its a :thumbsup: from me

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
