Hey all,

I recently followed the AAC clean tutorial and Air Reg clean tutorial on here and now i've run into some problems!

After completing both and putting everything back in the car i had high idle/reving.

Car was also shaking alot and when i took the car for a drive i had no power and car wouldn't go.

The idle issue has been fixed now but i still have the problem where the car is shaking like a mofo and i suspect a lost cylinder or something along the line.

I only thing i took off and touched was the throttle body, AAC and Air Reg so i can't understand why i would have these issues.

Anyone able to give me some advice?

Thanks.

hey guys,

after some investigating it seems engine/cylinder 6 is not running.

At first when i pulled out spark plug it was wet!

so i swapped over a new spark plug. It fixed it for like 30mins and then i had issues again.

this time i pulled out sparkie it was dry... i checked all other sparks and they are fine as well.

so i did the test where i pull the plug off each coil pack 1 by one and see if engine reacts.

all cylinders react except for #6!

i swapped the coil pack with #1 but its still the same.

so i can rule out spark plug and coil pack. i'm pretty sure i can rule out injector? as it made the spark plug wet the first time?

so what else could be the issue?

any advice on what else i can check would be great!

thanks.

If you have a multimeter, try probing a working cylinder to see what the normal output is to its coil plug, then try 6th coil plug and compare the 2, it might not be getting power/spark/whatever to it

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
