Hey guys only new here, hopefully someone here is able to help me out..

Ok so i have a 1994 r33 gtst series 1 skyline, 144 xxx kms, Its stock engine wise with only the basics done to it, coilovers, rims, strut brace, sound system, steering wheel and the mandatory stickers haha, its got a 2.5 inch exhaust with hiflow cat and a cannon, so shes pretty basic but still looks the goods.

Anyways now to the problem, As your driving along and you start to lay into it, ie drifting, draging or racing, as soon as you hit 4500 rpm it starts spluttering and carrying on, it will still produce power, and still gains speed and it sounds terrible, it does this through all gears and maxes out at about 170, although through the coughing you can get it to 180.

Ive been told its a few things these include, fuel pump, leads, spark plugs, coilpacks, air meter sensor, boost leak, an electronic limiter to stop people winding up the boost and blowing their stock turbo.

When i bought it, it came with the typical pod filter, im not the biggest fan of them mainly because their a defect, also because their sucking in hot engine bay air, and also because i fing the "sucking" noise they make annoying, so last week i replaced it with an airbox and a fresh filter, i also noticed this has helper the spluttering a little although its still quite noticable.

It also does this no matter how much fuel it has in it.

Basically im reluctant to spend any money on it until i can be convinced what it is, so if anyone knows the answer or has had a similar issue please feel free to help me out, cheers guys, Phil :)

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
