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.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
