Ladies and Gents,

Been trying to work through a sudden loss of acceleration on the S2 R33 GTS25T over 3000rpm or so at WOT. I can baby it up to about 4500rpm but it loses its go about there also. 99% sure my oem cat is done.

OEM fuel filter, OEM Coils (x6), serious AAC cleaning were done chasing a solution. OEM MAF, NGK plugs pregapped to 1.1, coil pack harness were previously done. Cleaning my throttle body in the morning, and giving my ECU a reset. I can hear a ticking/whoosy whoosy noise going through my cat at idle. Plan on popping that off tomorrow too and checking it out. Pretty sure its gone.

My big question is whats the OEM cat cell count? I dont have the funds to jump to a tuner/tune and cat at the moment. Figure a Venom 400 cell should get me running well for a bit until I get some supporting mods and a tune. Any suggestions? Again, car is entirely stock, unless you count some aftermarket brake pads 😅 Many thanks.

Any cat / no cat will work.

 

Have you checked for a boost leak?

I havent run a proper boost leak test. Im checking things as I go and havent found one yet. 
Any cat? I dont want to run a test pipe without a tune so I figure the more cells the better. Also looks like S13/14 cats/pipes will bolt up too. I seem to have more options grabbing an S chassis one (Im from the US)

One thing I forgot to mention is its having a tough time starting up. I dont remember what symptoms I had when I clogged a cat a decade ago on a Z33 but I dont remember starting problems being one. Either way, it sounds like I need a cat

Nope, you gotta measure the fuel pressure. Diagnosis before buyagnosis.

10/10. Gotta get better at that. Does give me a reason to finally go get some of these old parts out of the car, but Ive been chasing this issue for awhile now and I miss WOT. Let me get on it

Just stalled out on me 3 times trying to get started after lunch. Banged the top of the fuel pump cover a few times and the idle smoothed out and didnt stall again lol Heading to the shop tomorrow. Theyll be able to confirm and they have a few pumps on the shelf.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
