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

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
