R33 Gts-T Problem While Driving On Freeway

Hey hows it going, i got a R33 GTS-t S2, which is currently tuned on a SAFC i got full exhaust except dump pipe, front mount, apexi afc and pod filter so just the usual mods its currently tuned for 12psi and 98 octane.

Now i recently got it tuned and it feels much better and responsive and ive experienced better fuel economy however, i did have a rough idle which i fixed with a set of spare coil packs lying around and i had some miss fires in the 4-5k rev range which was solved with the change of coil packs.

But i have this problem every time im on the free way cruising at a 100 when i open up the throttle a little it has this sort of hesitation to go and sort of feels like sometimes its loosing power now im not sure what would be the cause of this problem as i have no air leaks or anything and i don't experience it cruising under a 100 or planting it over 100.

But just roughly when staying at a certain rev over 100 or at a 100 and open the throttle up a tiny bit it has that tend of hesitation. Now could this problem be due to the coil packs still or would it be worth while to invest in some split fire coil packs or could this down to another problem.

I got another question what color should the transmission oil be and roughly at how many intervals should you change it.

Yours Truly,

Nick

By transmission im guessing u mean automatic. It should be red. Or still have a red tinge to it. If it smells burnt and is getting dark or black then u might have issues.

Servicing shoukd be done every 60000 or when required by condition of fluid.

The freeway issue sounds like a small problem with the tune.

Try it in a lower gear. Sit in 3rd at 3000rpm or what ever ur car sits at on the freeway. And see if it happens.

Might be rpm related

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
