I recently brought an R33 GTSt series 2, on the way home i noticed from 3500 under boost it just doesnt pull very hard. I changed the plugs to PFR5G's gapped to .7 and just replaced the splitfire coils with yellow jackets but didnt help so i assume my splitfires are ok.

The car runs good for about 5 mins then starts playing up like this sometimes when it hits 5000 revs it misses and backfires, If i stop the car turn it off restart it and take off its fine for a few mins then plays up again

As far as i know the car has a high flowed turbo thats all i know about that, 3 inch exhaust and dump pipe running factory boost. Im not sure where to go from here its getting to be a pain! maybe AFM ? i dont think its Rich & Retard as it does it at only a few psi

Oh and i have searched and read numerous theads on this forum i dont mean to offend anyone by posting another thread on this topic but i dont think i have read one where restarting the car temporarily fixes the issue

Sorry I can't help you with this but all I can say is I have the same problem. With my problem it pushes you back in the seat around 2.5k and then from 3k - 5k or so it becomes a lot of noise and not much go and after that it starts to pull a lot harder. Is that like yours? I've just put in new plugs and Yellow Jacket coilpacks and it's still doing it. I think you and I might have a Vac/Boost leak somewhere..

Thats pretty much exactly what its doing!

Just read the fault codes and its coming back with code 21 = Ignition signal, Ill reset the ecu by disconecting the battery and see how i go

Problems back!

Disconnecting the battery fixed it for a day then it started playing up again, since then i have replaced the AFM with a brand new one but the problem is still there and still intermittent like before, iv got no idea where to go from here

highflow turbo + standard ECU = asking for trouble of the kind exactly like you are describing.

standard boost or not the turbo is flowing more air than the ECU can handle so its chucking a hissy fit

I cant seem to lower the boost, it boosts to 0.5 Bar then after 4500 revs the boost starts building with revs until redline and then its boosting 0.8 - 0.9 Bar.

I have a vacuum line running straight to the wastegate bypassing the boost control solenoid. Does the boost rise because the wastegate cant flow more exhaust gas due to it now being highflowed ?

Having given the fault code for ignition signal surely you would want to test the CAS?

I too am having this problem as is another member and i am certain its a damaged CAS.

I'll give mine a go soon and report back, not sure how early ill be doing this but sometime next week is on the cards.

Definatly rich and retard, I did some data logging and when the AFM voltage reaches 4.4 or so the timing pulls right back to 0 Deg BTDC and injector duty shoots up

Any ideas on how i can stop the boost creeping from .5 bar to .8-9 at redline ?

Run the standard wastegate spring, it sounds like you have an rb20 item in there if its running 14psi. That or there is a leak in your wastegate vacuum hoses

Its a vicious cycle, the car hits rich and retard, dumps in a whole lot more fuel, which in turn helps spool the turbo even more. I spent nearly 2 years trying to figure out what was happening and why i couldnt get my boost to stabilise. I only ever found one solution that allowed me to keep the boost stable, and that was putting a 2.5" restriction plate at the end of the exhaust. No idea why it worked, but with that in i could set the boost to whatever i wanted and it would hold it to redline, take it out and it would do what you described, just keep building boost to redline. In the end i just got a tune to 14psi and let it do what it wants, its seriously the least painful option, trying to run anything over stock boost with the standard ecu and tune is just a massive headache with rb25s, you need to either pick standard or pick your mods then get a tune, there isnt really an inbetween that wont cause issues

wut

2.5" plate after the end of the turbo? that is the most retarded idea I have ever heard, why didn't you just get it tuned properly from the get go?

it was at the end of the exhaust, a few people mentioned it as a common problem with supra's , and a few had had success with it here. It was by no means a solution, but i was trying to figure out what the issue was before i went and got a tune

Well i just had a look at my ecu and it has one of those gold mines stickers on it

That is your problem right there, go get a stock ecu. Those mines ECUs are rubbish, make it run way too much timing, way too rich and just suck ass.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
