R33 Issues Can You Help

Hi all, im new and have a problem that no search on here or google can solve.

Ok, so iv got an r33 gtst auto rb25det.

Iv fully rebuilt the engine, 1mm oversize, cp forged pistons, eagle H rods, full port n polish, custom extractors, top mount t04z, 50mm greddy wastegate, 3" straight through system, fmic, plus heaps i have forgotten.

Problem is i cant get it to run right, to have it idle and drive nicely, timing is set at about 25 degrees (shit loads) but doesnt detonate at all, and less advance it dies off. When i hold it wide it gets to 5000 revs and has a bad flat spot untill a spike in power at 6200. I have the stock ecu, all electrics are stock so i can get engineered. even if i hit the throttle at idle and it revs to 3000 it sometimes dies or struggles to get a smooth idle back. And its especially bad when driving even very lightly on throttle, i have to hold it on a bit when i back off to stop it stalling.

Any ideas would be great as its driving me nuts iv tried heaps like new afm, o2, reset ecu and all plugs, its got no leaks (air).

Everything electric is same as it was before i pulled it down and it used to run spot on. Its not running rich either (about 11-12L/100k)

Cheers!

mate i'm no tuner but if my car had had that amount of work done i'd go aftermarket computer like link/haltech/viper.even if you just change your exhaust you need it tuned properly.has it been dyno'ed to check things out?you want it to run good to prevent any damage to what you've got.good luck.

    • I mean down here I get absolutely nothing, and I'm driving around with a V8 version. I say "absolutely nothing" but the actual instances I can remember on one hand, and funnily enough were all in Sydney, not Melbourne. Specifically one very insistent guy hanging out of his window, pointing to the engine bay, then giving me an exaggerated thumbs up. That and one guy a decade ago who was an American who had clearly just seen his first R34 ever in person, and seemed surprised when I was like "Oh dude you'll see them everywhere" but this was 2010. But 99.99% of the time it gets no looks from absolutely anyone, ever.  BIG CAVEAT: SEDAN
    • It never really happened in Australia until more recently. They first started coming in in the 90s and most people wondered what these weird looking cars were, and that's about. There was a little bit of fanboi stupidity after F&F. But more recently, now that you seldom see a Skyline on the road (because they have either all been drifted into trees or stashed in sheds and never driven), I'm getting regular instances of massive thumbs up and smiles, a few guys wanting to take photos (and asking politely!). It's kind of good. Makes me think I've done the right thing by keeping the car as my daily across the 25 years I've had it. You still get dropkicks gesturing for you to do a burnout. Idiots.
    • Ok so the other test that seems easy enough (with the right equipment) would be to check what pressure the pump produces when its on. If its in spec its probably safe to just replace the pressure switch, and if not it makes sense to replace the whole unit. Does that sound sensible? EDIT: Do you have a spare pressure switch you want to sell?
    • Decided to remove the clutch booster as it’s more things that can go wrong and it frees up a lot of room and means less vacuum lines running around the engine bay  old one out and on the floor  new one ready to go back in  installed! I haven’t swapped the slave onto it yet, I will wait until the engine and box are in to see if I need to change the line or any thing
    • Yeah exactly the switch unit just needs to be designed with those numbers (or thereabouts, obviously the high one is the more dangerous if you don't get it right). It would be worth contacting FPG, they are pretty responsive and might be able to add to their lineup with you M35 information, the have 80% sorted already from the GTR one. https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/
