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.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
