hey everyone.. so recently my r33 s2 gts-t has started to make some popping/banging type sounds when i boot it a bit (high revs)

it sort of sounds like a ak47 or something and i get no power until it stops.

in my old skyline years ago i had the same problem, and a spark plug change fixed it.. so i put a new set of plugs in this 33 but it hasnt fixed the problem..

just wondering what else could be causing this problem?

also the other day when i tried to quickly jump into traffic after waiting FOREVER (somewhat achieved a "peel out") the car hit limiter and instead of wheels spinning, the car made no power until i completely backed off ... any ideas?

thanks in advance.

Its misfiring. Your coil packs are fizzled. Wrap em up in tape. Also sounds like you hit rich and retard. Flat power til the limiter. Could be due to flooding the O2 sensor with fuel and the car is shitting it self.

The machine gun is the best way to explain the sound. Also sounds like the car doing a shit.

taping up the coils is a bandaid solution and doesn't fix the solution, just masks it. sometimes it doesn't do anything and the problem will remain. best thing to do is to get some new coils. this is probably also related to the other issue you had as well.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
