WEll i just put a set of new ngk spark plugs and a greddy manual boostcontroller on a mates r33 and the car runs fine until u nail it. 1st gear goes well, i only set it to 10psi to steer clear of complications, but once it shifts into 2nd there is a flat spot until it gets to 6000rpm then it goes well and same in 3rd gear. It feels like the car is hesitating but power iis still rather progressive but just not pulling till 6000. Any ideas?Oh and the car is dead stock besides a can back system.

the auto changes gear at 6500 rpm.

We think it may be the auto computer causing the flat spot too. I have disconnected the factory boost solenoid and connected my boost controller do u think that would have an effect? My r33 doesnt have a factory solenoid inplace and just had my boost controller so i did think there would be a drama. any thoughts?

Make sure your speedo wire isn't cut which removes the 180 km/h speed limiter. I had the wire #53 cut and i kept ketting flatspots towards the end of 2nd and 3rd gear.

If unsure the easiest way to check it is try to hit 200 km/h as some speedos are not 100% correct and it might show you 180 km/h + when doing 170 km/h or so.

Oh yeah make sure you do it on a private road or the track :innocent:

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
