Does Any One Know Somthing About My Problem


Recommended Posts

Hi

i have a 1996 r33 series 2 Gts-t and i have had some problems with it after i had the following dump/front pipe and a tune done by a workshop. I took my car out and after hitting high revs then backing off the accelerator suddenly my cars idle droppes below 500 and fluctuated and the engine shakes and It seems that my car is using more fuel then it used to HELP!!!!.

So i tried to see if i could fix the problem. .. I changed to a high flow fuel pump, changed the fuel filter,installed yellow jacket coils and plugs and air flow meter was changed and even the ecu was changed but still same problem.. after all this i took my car to a skyline mechanic and he still could not find the problem :angry: can someone please help me I've spend nearly thousands of dollars trying to sort this problem out but it seems its a mystery

BTW the car runs Ok at low revs but once you hit high revs the car begins to play up.

Mods

FMIC

Full Turbo Exhaust System

High Flow Fuel Pump

How could they tune your ecu if its standard? Unless you have the Nistune board added to it.

As for your problem it could be: Worn CAS, Air leaks on intake side.

Can't really think of anything else at the moment.

you are probably seeing over 10psi and going into rich and retard mode.

your ecu will be retarding the timing majorly as the stock setup is not designed to take 10+psi

some cars do it at 10psi, some at 12, etc etc

but it's always around 10

try dropping the boost and seeing what happens

also what kind of a "tune" did the workshop say they gave you with a stock ecu?

My question is, if the car start exhibiting these symptoms after you modified it...why on earth did you go replacing everything else in the engine bay instead of checking what you just changed about the engine? Should have taken it straight back.

Could be the wastegate not opening up enough = R&R mode. If it's one of those el cheapo split pipe dumps, welcome to the world of rich and retard. Disconnect the actuator arm from the wastegate periscope and see how much movement there is for the flap...it should be able to open a full 90 degrees, if not more.

You would have to be a retard to rebuild the whole engine when it may have been an electrical fault and spending thousands rebuilding the engine may not solve the problem.

If you want to do the throw-money-at-it-until-the-problem-goes-away solution, buy a half cut or a long motor for $1500 and transplant everything.

i suggest calling my friend henry and see him about it he helped me heaps with my car say i sent you, Bruno, Cosmic performance 0422 117 168

    • Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha
    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
