Hi all

new to the forums and owning a skyline(first one)

i had an issue the second day of ownership :angry: was very unhappy jan,

but it turned out to be that the previous owner had decided to use carby fuel hose from the pump to the top of the fuel tank instead of using proper efi hose

and it burst in the tank, had that fixed and now when i am at WOT i feel a bit of surging (the car is manual(converted)) and is running 12-13 psi of boost (bought like this)

std intercooler car came with a exhaust haven't had time to measure or check brand

i am going to try turning down boost before exhaust wheel shits its self but wondering if any one had any other ideas as to what could be causing this

regards

describe your surging? I think you're mistaking it with R&R.. the car just hits a brick wall and comes back to life and hits another brick wall...

Too much boost buddy for the stock ECU, it just falls into the wrong cells and bam massive timing pull. I even get that at 0.8bar on cold nights, I just run 0.7bar all day

are you sure it is a stock turbo? could it be something else eg a 2876?

stock turbo would be snapped in half before it could reach its surging limit. might've been afm dirty or miss firing.

The type of surging ive heard is not mistakable, has a distinct sound, take the intake pipe off to see if the compressor wheel has left a grove in the cover, my brothers skyline turned out to have a gt2876, it has a line carve out of the compressor cover.

Maybe inspect the fuel tank for debris and change fuel filter a few times.

cheers all for the reply's

i have dialled it back to 10 psi and it has improved but is still there.

When hot the vehicle hesitates/surges i have tried 98 and 100 ron fuel

i thought it might be a battery problem so i replaced to no avail

will pick some contact cleaner for the maf and a fuel filter as well as some sparks tonight

mods: sh*$y drift boost controller, stock BOV, stock intercooler, pod filter

PS: the vehicle smells very rich after snapping the throttle open

cheers all,

i have cleaned maf sensor with ecc it improved the issue a little but it is still there.

any 1 have any ideas on how to free the stuck rubber hose on the fuel filter (tried bottle nose pliers but don't want to munch the fuel hose) it looks as if it has been on there a while

i also have injector cleaner but dont want to use it till i have a fresh fuel filter in there.

have found the issue is evident in low gears under accel (any) once in 4th-5th at 80km/h-100km/h it will pull fine

ps. what does RnR stand for?

i wasn't looking for an explanation.

i was wondering what does the Acronym mean... so i could do some research on it

5th hit, and that's using the less common RnR version rather than R&R.

Cut it off and replace it.

Yeah, my point was given that you had been told it was R&R, you could have googled it for yourself in less time than it took to ask. I'm just trying to discourage the spoonfeeding mentality on forums.

why isnt that what we are here for? to offer help, support and advice to people that dont know very much.

god knows what you did before google my friend.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
