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.

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!

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
