Hey guys really getting frustrated by this engine! I have changed over spark plugs few weeks ago now and car has slowly decreased itself over couple of weeks by spitting on high revs like a rapid spitting! When listening near spark plugs there is a random spark of single or multiple sparks. The car does not idle very well and runs like a piece of shit! Running stock boost and have recently put a new exhaust on. Any ideas would be greaty appreciated!

Have done the check and all looks good.. I forgott to mention that i took the car to get looked at and they said i had water stains in the engine bay and that it needed to be dried out by running the car.. So i picked car up and thrashed it for hour n half and all problems were gone and it was running smoothe! Then next morn all the problems started again! Why?

r33 are pretty sensitive, if i were you i'de reset the ecu, you know leave the negative of your battery disconnect for a day some people reckon less, have a look into things after that. at least things will go back to stock ecu wise

just took the car for a drive then and found that its more of a bang and backfire noise. and i opened up the hood and some coil packs are still sparking while engine is running!! thats not right!

So you have no valley cover over the coilpacks? And the coil packs are bolted down on the spark plugs? If yes to both and you can see sparks, then your coilpacks are probably stuffed, the back fire noise could have been all the unburnt fuel in the exhaust.

where are the sparks coming from on the coilpacks?Find some one with good coil packs and switch over to see if it fixes it.

I fairly certain that is what it is, cos you ain't meant to see the actual spark.

South Australia has a Wanted To Borrow section not sure if anyone has some spare tho.

Go to supercheap and buy a small tube of high temp gasket maker silicone for about $20, take all your coils packs out, and put a good even layer of silicone on all the sides of the coilpack (not in stupid places obviously)

I did this when mine were sparking out past 4000rpm and they have not been any trouble since

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

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
