Hi Guys,

I bought a 95 r33 gts-t s1 about a month ago. Everything is pretty much stock on the car except for the 3" exhaust, boost controller, air intake and dump pipe

The thing is, when I got the car, it was running perfect then I got a little too gready and pumped the boost controller up. I ended up blowing the plugs. I took it to the mechanics next door where I work and he fitted some dodgy ones that were misfiring badly. From previous threads I learnt that the gaps were too big. So I brought it back and the damn mechanic checked the fuel pressure as well as reduced the boost way down.

The car kept misfiring and I kept insisting for the plugs to be regapped. Today, while I was driving I noticed that the engine sounded lke it was under tremendous load, sort of high turbulence noise. The boost is really week, and there is practically nothing from the blow-off valve. It consumes too much fuel. nearly 3/4 tank over 80 kms.

The car has also lost tremendous amount of power. It lags everytime I put my foot on the throttle. I tried to inspect what was going on under the hood. I noticed a little oil stain near the intake.

I have spent the last 6 hours goin through turbo leaks, coil failure, afm failures and many others.

I am really nervous. I have booked an appointment with SHIFT performance to have a look at the car on Tuesday.

The thing is I am extremely anxious and worried. Has anyone experienced similar troubles. What should I do? Is it going to be costly?

I appologize if there are any similar posts. Help, Please!

Now when you say you got greedy and turned up the boost..... exactly how much psi were you running?

And the blown spark plugs, what do you mean? EDIT: Did they actually come out of the head

      Hi everyone.

      All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      thanks, will conduct myself accordingly. i unfortunately put about 150 miles on the car before reading this thread again, however no PS issues, and definitely no turbo issues. it spools normally and still feels fast to me, probably because my previous car was an N/A auto sedan...gonna go fix the PS vacuum line though lol. safe to say, got what i came to this thread for. thanks

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf

      You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.
