I just fitted a Hybrid FMIC to my Series II Skyline, Now my problem is my car is now running ridiculous amount on boost roughly 15-20psi when I look at my boost gauge, which I know its un-safe for my stock turbo, when I hit 3,500 revs my car spools to boost then my car starts to jerk so I keep my revs down low, I've only got a FMIC, turbo back exhaust, and af, no boost controller. I'm wondering if anyone esle has this similar problem that could shed some light and tell me whats wrong with my car.

sounds like youve left off the cooler to actuator pressure line off, so the actuator never opens so the wastegate never opens, aka boost keeps climbing for ever. this can be fatal so be careful. check your lines and the air tubes running to the turbo area

Hey, Ive also just fitted a hybrid cooler to my R33 with standard turbo, turbo back exhaust, bleeder valve, and mine does the same thing, except i run low boost (9psi), and it still jerks at high revs???? Could this mean I need to get a bigger fuel pump, or Do I need a fuel cut defender fitted. Ive checked for any boost leaks and still cant figure it out. Would a electronic boost controller fix this problem or power fc????

Could be richening up to much in which case you would need a SAFC or Power FC you. Either that or you may have faulty coils.

G'day,

I think I know what your prob is mate, When you removed the standard piping you cut into the vacuum line running of your standard intercooler pipe but prob did not plug this back into another vac line somewhere so you will have full boost, this is very very bad, dont drive it. T into your inlet manifold somewhere ie BOV so the wastegate can read some boost. This will fix your problem.

Cheers

Im no expert on this sorta stuff? what do i have to do? sorry if im sounding stupid but Im worried about my car.

Did you put the cooler pipes in yourself? There is usually a vacuum hose nipple on the standard cooler pipe which leeds to the wastegate which hangs of the turbo. Because you have changed this pipe you will have to find somewhere where the wastegate can read boost from, Cut your BOV vacuum hose and tee of that into the satandard t piece off the wastegate and hook it up. If this is already hooked up then your problem lies elsewhere.

I had the same problem with my skyline i fitted a front mount intercooler and the car wont rev past 3500 i changed the spark plugs and gapped them to 0.8 once i put them in started the car i could tell that the idle was better when i drove it it went hard, very hard so it solved my problem try that first, Always try the easy stuff first i learnt that the hard way

cheers

I went the all cheap kit cost me around $600 and works like magic can feel the power straight away but the car is running rich and is dumping fuel so ill need to tune the air fuel ratios. Just cut the BOV vacuum hose and tee into that it easy. I think you actually get a better reading from the original spot so n the future im gonna weld in a nipple to my piping.

Heres some pics.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
