Hi Guys,

I recently put a S1 R33 RB25DE in my R32 GTS25. Did manual conversion, brake upgrade, wheels, plugged in engine and she was running mint! Until we went to drive it.....has serious lack of power under throttle and "splutters" when you drive it. First thought was AFM or coils. Replaced both and still no change. Also replaced fuel pump and filter, checked O2 sensor, TPS and APP. Everything appears to be wired in correctly and no signs of any vacuum leaks. Im out of ideas! Any help would be much appreciated :-)

so you just plugged it in with the existing harness ETC?

have you hooked up the alternator earth and all the other earth straps? forgetting those can have that sort of effect

if its the original harness, what did you do about VCT? just curious here.

Probably best for my partner to answer that one tonight lol. As far as i know he used the r33 loom and just wired in the r32 plugs where needed. I know he has hooked up the VCT and everything has been earthed (we double checked last night)

I was right, he has used the r33 loom with r32 plugs where needed, and has hooked up VCT. Plugging the VCT makes no difference to the problem either. Also eliminated any vacuum leaks. Partner is currently checking all the plugs he swapped over to r32 to make sure all the right wires are connected.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
