Hi there I'm new to this forum and. New to skylines in general.

I own a 4 door R33 gts turbo currently when I accelerate while the car changes gears the engine cuts out really badly to the point if I take my foot off the accelerator the car stalls/cuts out completely

Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.

Oh the car is an auto if that helps

Cheers

I don't know if it's stock or not but it has a Garrett T04E T3/T4 turbo, a turbo smart boost tee that goes to a wastegate. The auto feels fine doesn't seem to be slipping.

After that I don't know if there is any other aftermarket stuff I bought it off a family friend who got the car for a debt someone had to him

actually he is a tow company owner that lent out money to a friend haha.

The body is straight, engine runs perfect apart from the cut out between gears,

rego'ed

REVS checked out, so its not stolen or financed.

and i bought it for 2 grand

so :)

Not that I can notice. I asked about the history of the car and got a hold of the old owner who had it since 2001 when he imported it from Japan as a n/a rb25de which he turbocharged not long before he handed it over to the friend I got it off, now he said it wasn't tuned after he turbo'ed it, would that be doing it?

After it revs high it cuts out not just as it changes gears. Only just noticed only had the car a week haha

Sorry, I'm new to turbo's just got my full license.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
