Hey guys,

i recently bought a 1997 S2 R33 gtst,

I have changed the coil packs and the cleaned the AFM along with buying a new pod filter.

Had the Cam Belts re done etc etc and she was running amazing except for when i go to boost it feels as though the power isnt there..

I then went and changed the spark plugs to NGK etc.

Now when im reaching high rev's about to hit boost the car just jolts... this has never happened be4. started happening after i changed the spark plugs. (note i have not re-gaped the plugs or anything)

My first thought was that maybe its the fuel pump but honestly no idea.

does anyone have any idea what the issue maybe.

Thanks in advance.

1 other thought chap, did you install a boost controller? if you do, make sure it isnt set above 10-12 psi... if it is, just click it back a few.... you could be hitting the brick wall of boost cut.

Hey paul i dont have a boost controller atm. Plugs went back in tonight and she isn't jolting anymore although now it feels like she is cutting out while trying to boost almost as if it cant handle it. Any ideas? Im thinking ill have to send her down to the mechanics.

Cheers

if it is doing it at about 4500 rpm my man, its your coil packs. very common problem as with age they deteriorate.

find a spare set from some where and swap them out...

now bare in mind they are series dependant. s2 33 coils wont work on s1.

33 gtr coils will work on s1 but not s2. should be plenty around, if not check out amayama.com for a full set of replacement oem ones.

Thanks mate... changing the coil packs was the first thing i did when i bought the car... i have ordered spitfire coil packs which should arrive today or tomorrow so ill put them in and see how we go.. thanks for ur help.

righto!

if you have 12 coilpacks swap and change with them, find six that work. its a pain but always good to have em....

all good mate, do us a favour, WHEN you sort it, cos you will, pop back and give it an answer.

nothing worse than googling a problem, reading a thread, then finding out the OP didnt say what it was!

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
