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

      How To: "Refabricate" a Stagea 260RS/R33 GTR Speedo Sensor

      By aznriptide859 · Posted

      Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
