Hi I'm new to owning a Nissan skyline. I recently bought a R33 GTSt skyline from a friend for cheap. The reason being that after about 20 mins of running the engine starts miss-firing and loses some power. still drivable but annoying none the less. My friend had told me he's taken it to his family mechanic and he couldn't work it out. Would anyone on here know of or had a similar problem with their skyline? If so could you please direct me in the right direction? Thanks

could be one of the following things:

1: needs new coils

2: needs a new ignitor pack (if it's a series 1 r33)

3: has a faulty temp sensor

4: has an overheating issue

5: has a dodgy fuel pump

6: has a faulty CAS (crank angle sensor)

as well as a few others

numbers 1, 2 or 6 (not as likely as 1 or 2) are the most likely causes since it seems to be heat related.

Does it feel like it's mis firing?

My engine does something like this. The only way I can describe it is the feeling of a spark plug failing, but I have brand new spark plugs and apparently there's nothing wrong with my coil packs :(

If you figure this out, you're one up on my mechanic.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
