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.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
