Hey guys,

recently replaced my plugs with iridiums and coil packs with splitfires and my 1996 r33 ran great for about 2 tanks. Now Im not sure of my problem but when I accelerate hard and go up the revs quickly at about 3000RPM the car seems like it slips out of gear or something it just revs a little higher with no power then bang a hit of power. Not sure if my clutch is on the way or something but it still feels firm and finds gears quite well. Don't know if its of relevance but just lately when I push the clutch pedal down it creaks and it never used to do this. Im not sure if I have a clutch problem or maybe one of my splitfire coils is blowing out spark (although they have just been put in the car)?. When I crawl up gears slowly it seems fine, its only when I go to really boost hard I get these little slips. Its progressively getting worse and worse now.

Car specs:

1996 r33 skyline

Splitfire coil packs (they are secondhand and just recently installed)

iridium spark plugs

pod filter

hi flow cat exhaust

aftermarket BOV to atmosphere

boost controller

Thanks in advance guys for any opinions really need help!

Bov to atmosphere is a fail and should be plumbed back.

Your problem is you are running too much boost.

Drop the boost and report back.

Also likely you have a boost leak. Search how to pressure test.

Are you still using your stock clutch? I seem to have the same problem when taking off fast the clutch slips from 1 to second gear then it's find onwards. I believe you need a new clutch as I was told by my Tuner "Racepace".

I totally agree - sounds like your clutch is slipping... Try shifting to 4th gear without taken your revs above 3500rpms and then once your in fourth gear foot plant it. Guarantee it will slip!

Cheers for replies guys, it was the clutch it's now absolutely gone and it's at the mechanic he's quoted me 530$ for standard clutch and install, but said if it's the flywheel will be when in the 1000$ mark, do you guys reckon I should maybe chuck a heavy duty clutch in it and anyone know if the price difference is much??? Also anyone know any good cheap mechanics in adelaide I could try and go see. Ben with the bov to atmosphere do you think this will be causing me to chew more fuel to ?? Cos at the moment with a little bit of spirited driving here and there I'm getting 300km when the fuel gauge line just hits the top of empty, haven't had the balls to let it drop any lower as I've never seen a low fuel light on my car?? Do the 33"s have a fuel light ?

Cheers in advance guys

First: for clutch kit go for If I were you I will go for Exedy Extreme Heavy Duty Clutch for about $500-$800 including Flywheel. This also depends on how much power you are aiming at.

In terms of the fuel light not coming on when empty, every car has that light simply to warn you that u are running out of fuel and just take off the cluster if you can and check the bulb. Replace it and it should be fine.

Bit more complicated to fix in the R31 :P

    • Thanks for posting, your engine bay looks tops. I'm fairly sure you posted the wrong video though, I think you were supposed to upload the one from your "private test road" where it's banging off the limiter with the gate open?
    • This is something to be careful of. I did a bit of digging on the NM35, as I spend a lot of time on near brand new cars and CANBus related stuff, which uses the same "OBD2" plug for a fair chunk of making my life easy. The NM35, does NOT support OBD2. The data pin is actually on Pin3, which is a manufacturer specific pin, and requires Consult3 to connect to the NM35. Your low voltage, is either because the NM35 doesn't have 12V to the constant power pin on the J1962 (OBD2) connector, OR, it is attempting the standard comms, (CanBus, K Line, etc) and can't see any voltage on those pins. Some people have had success accessing SOME data from the vehicle on OBD2 specification, using a module that supports KPW. My assumption, like Duncan has stated, it will likely actually be JOBD, where there is some cross over with the OBD2 and JOBD standards. Note, lots of "OBD2" dongles, do NOT support KPW, which is what you need for a lot of Japanese vehicles of this era (And even up until recent years!), EG, Subaru, Suzuki, etc.    The end of this thread is probably worth a read, as some people did find a way to get a display up in the NM35 recently, looks like someone implemented all the stuff needed to make it work. (The right protocols).  
    • Depending on the purpose of the car, and how much more fabbing you want to do, and what clearances you have, you could look to raise the motor, which will raise the front diff up. Likely would mean altering the chassis rails etc etc, hence the more fab work you'd need to do. However, this can create issues, not just in clearance with everything fitting under the bonnet, but you've also raised a LOT of weight up in the car, and this will DEFINITELY alter handling characteristics (But, so will how much weight you've already added to the front end). You'll also have to deal with the fact the gearbox to rear diff is now out of alignment too for the tail shaft, and alter the angle of the diff, or deal with a bit of potential vibration. Raising the motor an inch up, is effectively the same as making the whole car sit higher by not lowering it as far. So one inch higher motor, theoretically means you can drop the car an extra inch lower, and maintain the same angles in the CVs. Again, depends on the purpose of the car. If it's a just cruiser on the street car, maybe won't be an issue. If it's meant to be a time attack car, I can see you not wanting to raise the motor. This is just for you to ponder as an idea.
    • Have you not seen geospy.ai? It can now give GPS co ords to within a metre from a photo, even if it's a random photo you take inside. Supposedly at the moment only the government/law enforcement has access to that... Supposedly...
    • I've got the rear ones, they're certainly beefy. I need to take them to my driveshaft guru to check over, he's very fussy about the quality of components so I'll let you know if they are made of cheese by a blind man.   Are you in Australia? A mate just had a set of EN26 shafts made for his K20 Lotus by our fabricator which were quite cheap (compared to Driveshaft Shop) so if you can procure the CV's and draw what you need he'd make them for ~$800 for the pair.
