R33 Gts-t S2 Miss Above 3000 Rpm

Hi to all knowledgeable Skyline punters.

I test drove an r33 gts-t s2 (manual) today that I am thinking about buying.

When I drove it, it had a miss that developed over 3000 rpm, I am pretty sure it happened only under load. The weird thing was that the tacho would got to 3000 - 3500 start missing and even though the car was still accelerating and picking up revs the tacho didnt rise with the revs and at one stage it looked like it went backwards!

I am pretty new to Skylines but I am thinking its an issue like plugs, leads or coil pack or the like.

Anyone have experience or thoughts on this issue?

Help appreciated

Darren

I will also add that the tacho doesnt want to go above 3000-3500 at all.

The only time I saw it was when in 2nd I built the revs up to above 5000 clutched it, let it go back to idle then let the clutch out again. it went up to about 4500.

It has a nismo gauge cluster and greddy turbo timer. not sure if they would be playing up.

No numbers are lifting, the cluster looks quite good.

doesnt happen to have reverse EL dials on it does it? white faced....

they make the tacho needle stick, and usually around 3000-5000RPM...

the numbers dont have to be lifting. if it has reverse EL dials they are too thick to begin with, and will make the needle stick. they will look normal, but they're too think as soon as they are put in

no, I have checked the dials looked ok.

I have bought the car.

I needed to fit a standard exhaust for legal issues, funny after I did that I left it idling for a while then took it for a spin.

The miss was still there but not as bad, I managed to see 6000 on the tacho, it would have redlined but I was being gentle.

Its either fixing itself - I put some octane boost / cleaner in it or its an intermiten electrical issue.

Unless putting a std ehaust on has reduced boost and therefore decreased fuel its requiring and it can pretty much now keep up. Maybe a sensor is playing up. Not likely.. still thinking electrical.

Sorry thinking a loud.

I wll keep playing.....

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.
