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

get a real ecu

put the standard bov back, gap the plugs to 0.8, then go do some track days and driver training?

do a burnout

[Staunch]

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.

Have you actually checked your base timing?
