ok i have 96 s2 r33 gtst

i got the car stock as a rock except for a pod filter...

car ran absoultally perfect...

now everything ive done is cut/bridged out that factory boost controller that gives extra boost

at 4,500rpm.so i havent turned up the boost other then that mod.it had a stock cooler and it was starting to ping etc so i put on a front mount cooler pinging went away... then probally about this time i think its my coils are breaking up and doing weird arse machine gun shots some times when im giving it all hell..now ive just put on a 3 inch turbo back exhaust,fmic,pod ,atmo bov,

im still getting this what i think is the coils playing up but also im getting some pinging as well ive always run 98 octane fuel...what should i do next..i want it back to running sweet and how it should with all these mods if i gotta spend some dollors i dont mind any help much appreciated...

Best to change the coils this might smoothen things up as well as check or afr's might help in the pinging area

had the exact same problem!

check plugs, coils etc. if problem still persists, see your local dyno tuner. That was my scenario....did some runs, ran a fuel flow test etc. I had wrong sparks in, timing was off and discovered the pump was lazy. Replaced sparks and under tuned the car to be safe until I go back and install a walbro. currently organising an arc sidemount to replace the standard one before I go back for the walbro pump and tune. :)

on another topic, I first witnessed the change in skylines with different climates...goes so much harder in the cold :( turbos and husky's have much in common.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.

      Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.

      For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.
