hi, i've just recently picked up a series II r33. i've noticed that sometimes when i boot it, it has a really slight stumble at about 4000rpm, then at about 5500rpm. its only very slight but you can feel its not revving freely through the range. sometimes it doesn't do it though.

i was thinking spark plugs but what do you guys think

its got standard ecu, hks filter in the standard box, 3 inch cat back but running standard cat for compliance (haven't got around to changing it) oh and running standard boost.

Sounds like a slight misfire which isn't uncommon.

Change the plugs first. A set of copper bcpr6es or bkr6es will cost about 20 bucks. Or pull out your existing plugs and check that they are gapped correctly. Factory recommended gap is 1.1mm, gap them down to .8 as you will be running a bit richer with the mods you have which will contribute to the miss.

Then start looking at the coils. There's a sticky thread at the top of this section all about them.

How would one alter the gap?

A set of feeler guages (you can pick them up from any auto store) & by lightly tapping the end of the plug on a hard surface, Ie table etc. untill they meet at 0.8mm.

Most decent auto stores would possibly gap them for you if you ask! :(

There seems to be some conjecture about whether or not to gap iridium plugs. I've got some on my desk and would really like to know =D I got the BKR6EIX-11's which as I understand have a stock 1.1mm gap, the recommended gap seems to be .8mm Should I be re-gapping these? The car is stock engine/performance wise just wanted these for longevity and this is my first service so wanted to be sure plugs were fresh.

      R33 RB25DET oem turbo replacement options

      If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok.

      R33 RB25DET oem turbo replacement options

      By KyoyaR33 · Posted

      Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions

      So i brought a boat...

      How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!

      Is the Clock Spring and Steering angle sensor the same thing?

      By silviaz · Posted

      So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
