hey just a quick question.. i've got a r33 GtsT.. when i'm driving it pulls boost it won't go, it feels like it's holding back... on the boost guage it saying i'm on boost.. but yeah it doesn't go it's like it's lagging.. BUT when i turn my car off then on again, it work's normal it pulls boost then goes good... it only happens sometimes though.. any ideas??? i've checked all hte piping and vaccum it's all good... but yeah does anyone have this sort of problems??

i've got a blitz computer.... yeah it's weird when it happens, at the lights i turn the car off hten turn it back on then it drives normally

i pulled all the plugs in the engine and cleaned it.. even took out the coil packs and cleaned them too...

update.. theres' oil in the last cylinder... and spark plug was BLACK AS!! got new ones and cleaned the oil away... works BEAUTIFUL!!

5 days later... it happened again.. so i checked if there was oil in the cylinder again.. there's none so i cleaned the ends of the spark plugs. now it works good again..!! what the!! again when it did happen, i turn my car off then on again.. it worked normal again..

can't figure it out

oil in the last cylinder?

Its got bad blow by. If I were you, get it compression tested, and stop boosting in the mean time before you really wreck it.

Sounds like you are going to need a rebuild....

I have the same problem. I have a R32 GTS-t and just put a new air intake and boost controller to put it to 12 pund but still feels when it boosts not much quicker and it has alot more potential. Any idea's from anyone what this could be. The car is completely stock other than this.

why am i going through oil so quickly.. there's no leak that i can see

Oil isn't going to magically disappear. It can only be leaked out or lost in the cylinder.

Get a compression and leakdown test done, as others have said. But it looks like rebuild time.

rory_kiernan : stock r32 is 10psi? and you've gone to 12psi with not much else done... :blink:

i've got forged piston and bigger turbo...

it's running good now.. but i happens probably 2/3 times a week.. not all the time when i driving... but it's annoying when it kicks in.. cos it feels like i've lost alot of power, but the boost is there... it's set on 15psi. but when the problems kicks in it only goes to 7psi

Hey Mr Sly, i have the same problem as you at the moment, by boost laggs, but only every now and then, and im only running stock 7psi as well, with a stock ecu at the moment, any one have any idea on this one? r33 series 2 1996, it lags some times on winding up and other times around 5psi, and you can feel the pull then it kicks in, then it pulls then kicks in, its annoying the hell outa me as well, anyone think this a spark plug issue? (i havent checked them yet as been busy, but its the first thing im going to check tomorrow) just got the car back and this happened

    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
