Hey guys


First time posting hopefully i'm posting in the right section seems like it's the best spot for it.

Anyway, i bought a r33 gts-t, it had some problems that i thought i could fix, the problems are

1. Car seems to hesitate (feels like it's hitting redline) from 2.5k rpm and higher also when it's boosting and spooling up, also feels like its jerking when cruising

2. when i take it for a drive and come back (car is warm) i stop, give the car a little acceleration then stop, the car starts too
idle funny drop rpm real low then rise to 1.5k and repeat itself, sometimes stalling.

they're the problems so far, I've replaced the coils with brand new yellow jackets which are installed, also i have a reconditioned MAF and a new TPS (both not installed)

I read alot of threads on people with the same problems and it boiled down to the coils so i replaced them which did nothing at all,
also i cleaned the AAC vavle was abit dirty but that didnt make any differance either, i guess the next step i'm going to take while i wait for replys is to install the MAF and TPS hopefully that fixes the idle issue.

Any help/comments appreciated cheers guys.

I take it you replaced the plugs at the same time and gapped them down to 0,8mm?

What boost are you seeing?

You mention the MAF and TPS but could be CAS

Could be a lot of other things of course!

No, i didnt replaced plugs, seeing 5 PSI boost steady.

i just fitted the recond MAF and the new Tps and it runs fine now cheers guys.

Just to clarify for anyone else who may be having the same problems and stumbles across this thread.

Replaced the coil packs with new yellow jackets

Replaced TPS (throttle position sensor)

Replaced MAF with a recond one off ebay

Why did you think you could fix it? Have you ever fixed similar stuff before?

Anyway, does it have an atmo blow off valve?

Havent really fixed stuff before mechanicly but doing alot of reading and finding out the common problems with the motor all pointed to what i replaced, plus wanted to learn abit more about cars engine wise, and it worked fixed it and now its running fine, no have a stock bov atm going to replace it since its probably worn from being so old

Won't be "worn" from being so old. Might leak a bit if you get around to modding the car enough to run a lot of boost, but won't do anything bad to you at the boost you can run on standard ECU + turbo.

Do not replace with just any old BOV either. Reading/research required there too.

Yeah i was thinking of putting on the hks sequential bov that cane with the car

Yeah, nah. Don't do that. Sell it to someone who doesn't have an AFM car.

not sure what you mean by that lol

Anyway some news on the car, did a compression cylinder #1 100 psi, put oil down it tested again 125 psi, rings are gone.

all the other cylinders are 175 psi, shit happens i guess.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
