Hi all.

Just gave my 93 R33 a run at full throttle from about 60 kmph and it started "popping"

93 R33 gts25t

Only mod is turbo back full exhaust .

Standard boost, no pod.

The popping sounds the same as when it changes gear under heavy acceleration. It started around 5-6000 rpm and lost all power while it was happening.

Could it be?

A, fuel cut.

B, Detonation.

C, Faulty wast gate / Std Bov

I would love some opinions and to hear from anyone who has had this issue and fixed it.

Thanks all.

Also it didnt happen anywhere near as much if I accelerated slowly to full throttle still did a couple of pops but held its power.

Yup you got it. Exactly the same.

Ill start working on the electrical side as soon as i have done the fuel pump.

I changed the filter and it helped a little.

Its going to go something like this,

Fuel Pump, injectors and the things that they include..

then ignition side coil pack, leads plugs.

Im not looking to make it a rocket ship it will just be nice to have it running at full capacity.. (foot to floor no issues)

Check your FPR, pull the vac line off it and have a sniff.. If it smells like fuel, then it's a faulty FPR.

I had the same problem as you, but my issue was contaminated fuel..

Could also be a faulty pump.

By the way, do you have a larger pump ? Say a 040 ? If so, they hate 1/4 tanks of fuel lol (well mine does anyway) and it surges on boost..

Firstly im going to get the std pump to 12 v so its running at full pressure and see if that makes a difference. After that ill fit the 040 as the DIY topic explains.

I take it "FPR" is Fuel Pump Return line?or something to that description?? The one that runs from the engine back to the tank past the filter??

  • 3 weeks later...

had similar problem after fitting 3" hi flow cat. changed plugs to iridium and reduced gap slightly 0.9 mm i think, smaller gap better when combustion pressures are higher as fuel harder to ignite. gave coil packs a good clean as there was carbon around them. ran fine then. drew

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
