Help me with my r33 gtst


Recommended Posts

Guest Slide

Somebody help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have taken my R33 to a number of stupid so called specialists and they have all given me different answers which have cost me nearly $2000.

On standard boost (7psi) it runs like new ,Anything over (i mean even 1 psi over) it pops not detonates. it sounds like it is backfiring.

it looses boost and it sounds like it is just feeding it out the exhaust. verrrry embarassing.

sound like it is farting. I am using a turbosmart dual stage boost controller (tried a different 1 already) 750hp fuel pump, ngk irridium plugs,fuel lines, injectors have been cleaned ,3'' turbo back exhaust, pod filter ect. I have tried tripping the computer did not fix.

Help Help Help (eeeger to run more boooost) i feel like popeye without spinach

Sounds like boost cut to me.

How are you measuring boost? Boost cut happens at about 10psi or a bit over. The symptoms match pretty much exactly what you described.

You could get a boost cut defender but you're better off getting a full ECU replacement.

anything after 7psi confussed everyone i sent my car to

people have said to me the following with reports.

1:change computer

2:change bov(i am still using factory plum back)

3:change boost actuator

4:change plugs (so i did)

5:fuel pump (so i did)

6:have injectors cleaned(they were left to recirculate for 13 hours)

have tried using tape over the coil packs to avoid shorts from faulty coil packs.

i have taken it to 2 places where i have said i am not paying unless it is fixed came back and they both said cant help you.

Someone please give me an answer.

I am a Gold Coast local.

Anyone know anything

If someone knows a servicer around my area please post

funny, i always thought my car was spiking, but the symtops you show are exactly what im experiencing???, so its missing big time.

Im havnig the exact same problem mate!, anything over stock 7psi (or 1/2 way on the stock gauge), will start missing, feels like 100 times a second, and yes fartings a good word:)

just wondering if you've overcome the issue yet? do i really need a safc???

I think Robo is onto something... you need to get it dynoed and post up the A/F ratios etc... my bet would be its just running extremely rich and blowing out your spark... remember the closer you gap your plugs the weaker the spark gets (may help you fix the problem in the short term tho)

other than that if you reckon it is losing boost could you just have a boost leak somewhere that only become apparent when you go over 7psi?

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
