hey, i just put on a gfb boost controler (best $70 that i have ever spent as it holds the boost alot better than my previous turbosmart bleed and doesnt spike as much)

Im 97% sure its set up correctly, but im getting like what would happen if you hit the rev limiter? - thats the best discription i could give...

is this a fuel cut or will i need better spark plugs as the boost is blowing the sparks out?

any one else had this problem? or kno what wrong?

thanks guys.

:)

i raced a s2 r33 lastnight and was dead even, and i had that possible fuel cut. if i fixed this problem id chop him. in my lil s1 33.
Their is no difference, it all comes down to mods and the driver.

Dont race... and if you do.... dont post it.....

As previously stated many times before....

Question "Why are you running a $70 part in a $15,000+ car"????

Do it properlly, buy an elecronic boost controller and fuel cut defender.....

Also i hope you have an exhaust and front mount... 11psi is the absolute max you should run on a stock setup...

Ppl's,

I had a problem this morning with my R33 96 S2, i have had it for a couple of days. It has a FMIC, exhuast, BOV, POD & running at 11psi (so they say).

I have given it a bit through 2nd & 3rd gear, but this morning i was in 4th@60-70kph & when i accelerated and it hit boost, it cut out, is this the boost cut.

Just dont see why i did not get this problem in 2nd or 3rd gear.

Any idea's.

PS, i dont know how they are making it do 11psi, no EBC or adjustable T piece in the engine bay, but i was told it hit 12-13 psi when it was dynoed.

PROBLEM SLOVED!!!!!!! :headspin:

i did my homework on this problem and found that it was misfire... ( The extra boost blows out the spark before combustion ) As the stock sparkies are only set up for stock boost. When looking through my lil bros hot4's mags i found a 3page article on sparkplugs. Regapping your plugs from 1.1 (stock) to 0.8 should fix this problem. AND DID MINE :headspin:

There is a cheep way to fix this if your on a budget and a expencive way. i chose the expencive way...

CHEEP WAY.

Go to your local hardware store and get a spark plug gapping tool. Not sure what they are called but they tell you what size your gap is.

Pull your plugs out and tap the tip on a hard surface, then with your new gapping tool ajust it to 0.8, put your sparkies back in, up tha boost n take it 4 a spin.

You can get aftermarket 0.8 pre gapped plugs from autobahn for under $5ea.

EXPENCIVE WAY.

I got the NGK Iridium ix plugs. I payd $20 each and that was with a discount. but if you have future plans of upping the boost above 13psi these pluge are recomended.

as the 6 type stay colder... ive heard ov ppl uping there boost that hard that there sparkies golw red and ignite the fule with out a spark.. trust me you dont want this to happen. you can even go 7 but thats only recomended for over 2bar.

Iridium plugs stay cleaner then your average plugs and are anit-oxidation and anti-corrosion, they apparently last forever too. :headspin:

these plugs are gapped to 0.8 already so you dont have to fcuk around trying to get the correct gap size.

Mad free advertising for NGK...

I :ghost: If you have ever changed your plugs (skyline owners) youl know that its a mission :ghost: took me and a mate well over an hour :ghost:

Do your homework before you go out and spend hundreds of $$ on plugs, but in my oppinion its better than a dead rb25. and well worth it.

Thanks Gamatron ;)

I will check out the gaps on my skyline, i had a R33 S1, that was boosted too 10psi running the stock plugs & it was fine but i did end up changing them too NGK Iridiums.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
