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

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
