Hey guys, im new to skyline Australia and i would like some help.

My skyline r33 is losing power when i flat foot and the rpm reaches 5000rpm or so. Recently the problem has seem to evolve and make the car die out past 5000 rpm and what i mean is, the car is still on but there is no power what so ever past 5000. I've had this problem before except the dying out part and i fixed it with AFM. I have bought 2 AFM's and put them in the car and reset the ecu, however the problem is still there but the car dying out problem seem to be gone. Does anyone have any advice on what i can check next please. Im a student so i dont wanna go out and spend more money for nothing.

My car only has a few mods: (STOCK ECU + BOOST-no boost controller)

 

1.Spitfire coils packs

2.FMIC

3.After market fuel pump KEMSO 340LPH

4.Exhaust system turbo back

5. Iridium sparkplugs that i replaced about 6-8months ago. (Have not touched the gaping)

Tomorrow i will check the coils and spark plugs, but is there anything else i can check? Ive also checked previously for air leaks but found nothing.

Can timing belt be an issue? and o2 Sensor?

Thanks!

Rany

Partially collapsed cat or muffler or flattened exhaust pipe can do that,  had a Falcon that started doing this at higher revs then one night on the freeway it fired a blazing ball of muffler packing out the tailpipe and became much louder.

Maybe bypass the knock sensors? Could be pulling timing. 

Does it happen in every gear?

This time it is happening every gear. I cant flat foot on any gear from 1 to 4 so i'll check it out. would you know where their located?

Thanks mate

Sounds like the igniter module, they sometimes break down at higher revs when they get old.

Thanks mate i'll have a look into it today.

The data sent from the car’s oxygen sensors to the computer helps it adjust the air-fuel mixture for optimal operation. If a sensor is bad or failing, the computer won’t be able to adjust this mix correctly. Also a clogged fuel filter can cause similar symptoms. Combine the two and you are in a world of pain. A new fuel filter is a cheap starting point buddy.

Thanks for the reply Rusty. I have bought a new 02 sensor. Im gonna change it, if it fixes the problem im happy if it doesnt then i will just changed a part that is over 20 years old. I will also buy a new fuel filter since my 1 is still the original im sure.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
