:D

HI. ive got an R33 and for the last 8 days ive been having probs with excelleration. When i take off the car feels like it is pulling back. It is really hard to get ay boost and when i do it comes in dangerous short bursts. I thought it my be fuel tampering (scabby servos) so i let it run dry and went to anoher shell but its still happening. I'll be drving and will try and put my foot down and get no power then all of a sudden, i get, as i said, a shor power intake and it is quite dangerous cause it will happen when im right behind another vechile.

So if anyone out there has any suggestions i would more than appreciate your help as im so worried about my princess....

Thanks in advance

I had similar problems with my last car (silvia turbo). Cleaning the air flow meter helped (take it out, run some metho over the element that sits in the middle of the afm (do NOT touch any wires with your fingers), let it dry fully then put it back in the car). Not sure what the problem was exactly. It seemed to do it more in hot weather or after the car had heated up a bit.

The reason cleaning my afm helped was because I was using an oiled air filter (k&n) and they tend get oil all over the element in the afm. I changed back to a dry air filter and had much better results. Cant say if the afm was the problem. I suspect the problem may have been elsewhere and just made worse by the afm reading incorrectly.

Other suggestions might be to check the fuel pump?? dunno.

Does it seem to accelerate ok up to when you'd hit boost? Does it stutter or just really bog down and you get nothing? In my case the revs would build up slowly and it would seem to pick up a little but it was terrible. And only after 15-20 minutes or so of driving. Often I could turn the car off then back on and it would be fine for a couple of minutes.

Hi, It might help if you list any mods (if any) on the car that you are ware of.

One of my mate's personally imported a series 6 RX-7 & it ran like crap because it was tuned in Japan to run on their premium fuel (108ron?). A simple re-tune on the dyno fixed it right up & it runs beautifully now.

has the car been previously owned in australia or are you the first owner?

Good luck with fixing your car & hopefully someone on here has an answer for you.

So... when you give it half throttle, it stutters? Or it drives normally but with no boost? When the boost comes on, it shouldn't launch you TOO hard on a stocker. What does the boost guage read when all this happens?

How far are you putting the boot in?

If it IS just the boost, and not a fuel or coilpack or whatever problem, then maybe you have a sticky wastegate actuator? You'd have to be gunning it and not just normal traffic driving to generate that much boost that you feel it though.

she did say it happens when shes taking off so its not the common misfiring problem.

it could be your:

CAS

AFM

spark plugs

coil packs.

do the spark plugs if you havent already. take your AFM out and spray with carby cleaner. do my coil pack fix, and try swap your CAS with someone else with an r33.

if you can get your hands on someone else's CAS, then do that first.

if you were in syd i'd be able to give you a hand.

Sounds to me like misfire

Does it happen around 4000/5000rpm onwards?

hi ta for your suggesstions. i took it apart and it is the coils. one cover is broken. YEAH!!!! not the thousands of crap that i thought it may be:)

Check sparks, check coilpacks for hairline cracks, clean afm?

Does "sound" like the common missfire problem that nearly every line owner has.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think my main complaint with your idea is that there is a veneer of idealism spread across it. You want the simple numbers to make it easier, but all they will do is make it easier for someone to come to the wrong conclusion because the fine details will kick them in the nuts. As it is right now, the tiny bit of arithmetic is NOT the obstacle to understanding what will fit and what will not fit. The reality of trying it is what determines whether it will fit. If you had a "standard rule" that R34 GTT guards have that magic 100mm space from the hub face to whichever side you were worried about, and someone said "excellent, this wheel is only 98mm in that direction, I'll just go spend $4k on them and jam them on my sick ride".....they would just as likely find out that the "standard rule" is not true because the rear subframe is offset to one side by a fairly typical (but variable) 8mm on their car and they only have 92mm on one side and 108 on the other.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      It still combines inches with mm, especially when you have .5 inches involved, and mm and inches that can go in either direction. This would give a clear idea on both sides of the rim, right away, with no arithmetic. Even better if somebody gives you the dimensions of the arch of multiple cars. i.e GTR may be 125mm, a A80 Supra may be 117mm, or something along those lines. Yes, you can 'know' that going from a 10in rim to a 10.5in rim with the same offset moves both sides about 6mm, but you still have to 'know' that and do the math. Often it's combined. People are going from 9.5 +27 to 10.5 +15. You may do the math to know it, but if it was going from (I had to go look it up to be sure) 241mm/2 - 27 - 93.5mm from the center line to (more math) 266/2 - 15 (118mm) from the center line. Versus 93mm vs 118mm. It's right there. If you know you have a GTT with 100mm guards you can see right away that one is close to flush and the other absolutely won't work. And when someone says "Oh the GTR is 120mm" suddenly you see that the 10.5 +15 is about perfect. (or you go and buy rims with approximately 118mm outward guard space) I think it's safe to say that given one of the most common questions in all modified cars is "How do offsets work" and "How do I know if wheels will fit on my car" that this would be much simpler... Of course, nothing will really change and nobody is going to remanufacture wheels and ditch inches and offset based on this conversation :p We'll all go "18x9+30 will line up pretty close to the guards for a R34 GTT (84mm)" but 'pretty close' is still not really defined (it is now!) and if you really care you still have go measure. Yes it depends on camber and height and dynamic movement, but so do all wheels no matter what you measure it for.

      But offsets are simple numbers. 8" wheel? Call it 200mm, near enough. +35 offset? OK, so that means the hub face is that far out from the wheel centreline. Which is 2s of mental arithmetic to get to 65mm to outer edge and 135mm to inner. It's hardly any more effort for any other wheel width or offset. As I said, I just close my eyes and can see a picture of the wheel when given the width and offset. That wouldn't help me trust that a marginal fitment would actually go in and clear everything, any more than the supposedly simple numbers you're talking about. I dunno. Maybe I just automatically do numbers.

      Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..
