Hey Guys,

ok so im fairly new to skylines, i hav and r33 with an rb25det.

It has recently started to act wierd under acceleration but not all the time and not all the way through the rev range.

So for example if i pull away from the lights quicker than normal but not flat out, first gear ok change into second it will be ok as i got up the revs the all of a sudden it will stop accelerating almost like its bogging down, foot will still be down on accelerator but nothing happening. so il clutch down and blip it a few times to clear it up then its ok, then change into third and it will do it again at roughly the same rpm????

But it does not do it all the time, maybe half the time. Im not confident but i was thinking maybe running lean or rich at this point just to a fuel/air sensor or an air volume sensor??

Is this common and specific things to check or clean??

The engine is completely stock apart from a HKS pod filter and a turbo back exhaust, which were both on the car when i bought it 2 months ago.

Greatfull for any info advice or solutions cheers :yes:

What kind of boost are you running?

Do you know what rpm it does it at.

When it happens do the revs keep climbing or do they bog down much like the car does.

Could be clutch slip

Could be R&R rich and retarded from running to much boost.

Also could be misfiring

so dry joints on these plugs is a common issue??

It sounds and feels to me like it could well be this or something very similar. Unfortunatly i dont know anybody else near me with a skyline.

But i may try cleaning and re inserting all the plugs??

I have not had any kind of engine warning lights come on, would a sensor issue not trigger this? ie if the afm sensor is playing around with the mixture would the exhaust egr sensor not read faulty??

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
