hye guys just purchased my 1996 series 2 r33 gtr vspec, im new to the nissans as i had a supra and know all about the 2jz but nothing about the rb26 lol so my car is white its a vspec following mods are

3inch exhaust blitz

hks boost controller

hks turbo timer

hks pod filters

boost setup from .7 to .9

ok now the problems im starting to see are the folwing

1)when you start the car after its already warmed up it starts and then drops dramatically in idle to about 2-300rpm hunts between there for 3-5seconds and then idles up at 900rpm sometimes its revs up between 900 - 1100rpm back and forth hunting and then when driven seems to be fine, the boost hold at .7 or .9 so i dont think a boost leak? but when its in vacuum i can see the needle going up and down a little bit...

2)when going in 1st and 2nd with foot lightly under acceleration it seems to backfire and missfire, and then when going full throttle the car will rev fine and then missfire/backfire through the rpm range and it looks to me like the car doesnt want to go past 5000rpm in 3rd or 4th i really have to push it but boost hold at .9

it seems its running alot rich because ive been told it spits out black smoke when driving and i can actually smell the fuel from the exhaust while driving, then all of a sudden the car starts to go hard and actually pushes and goes fine through the rpm range with no missfires or backfires?

any keen to lend a hand???

ok sweet car has done 107000kms the recent owner changed the timing belt and the sparkplugs?

also one more issue i just remembered, these brembo brakes are meant to brake pretty hard i imagine? well on this car i have 10.5 inch rims all round with 275 tires and when braking it doesnt have a stop it just continues to slow down like some sort of brake fade? example when going about 30-40kms and u hit the brake hard i imagine it should stop on the spot? well it just slows down it doesnt just have that hard braking power, recent owner said he changed the pads without machining disc i imagine these are throw out disc can only be used once? well im not sure but for a gtr im sure if u hit the brake as hard as u can the car should come to a quick stop? this one doesnt

Do you have an aftermarket ECU ?

- Take it in for a check tune

- Have the rotors machined and system bled (while their there I'm sure they will pick up any anomolies.

use trusted mechanic/shop.

First thing I do with any cars new to me is a major service (unless I have evidence it has had one recently).

Edit: Brembo's are good calipers BUT good braking requires more than just good calipers. Pads, Fluid, Rotors and bleed.

107,000kms - true or not it indicates Major Service should have occured and should have paperwork for it with your GTR.

2) sounds like AFMs, look up the soldering fix or try a set of known working ones.

Do you know what brake pads are on there? As mentioned, machine the rotors, full fluid flush and probably look at getting new pads (QFM HPX at a mimimum, I would get A1RM as GT-Rs are 'heavy').

thankyou guys much better then the supra forums they mock your supra and mock you a a person for not being as smart as them

i had a 500hp supra im a licensed mechanic but not in performance as its a different field just a general mechanic, im very keen on the 2jz but thought id test the rb26s man so ill do all those test and get back to you guys in the mean time if anyone lives in lugarno nsw sydney area and wants to come have a look and knows what there on about and knows the gtr 33s ver well and wouldnt mind coming to have a look at this then please let me know on inbox cheers thanks guys

regards

check to see what condition your blow off valve is in if its been dicked with and venting to atmo or leaking can cause these problems

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
