This is ossie_21 logged in under Shayde's username btw

95 r33 with lots o shite, wolf ecu has recently been rebuilt with all forged internals and tuned to run 14 or 20psi.

At the moment under low and heavy loads i'm getting consistant backfiring at similar intervals in each gear all the time. 1st gear at some point I havent seen yet cos i never stretch 1st, but 2nd at about 55kph, 3rd at 80kph, 4th at 100kph & 5th at 140kph. Under acceleration the car will hit these points & backfire harshly on me, if I keep my foot down the car will finally struggle past it & boost on as normal. When no acceleration at all and the car is slowing down the car will again hit these speeds, not backfire because there is no acceleration but the revs die right down, but ONLY at these speeds. Doubt its a rev issue because they are different, in between 3100 & 3500 approx.

Apart from these things the car sounds & drives as normal, I can get around the backfiring but that will mean minimal boost, pretty ghey in a near 400rwhp car :)

That "was" it, but now a couple of other things have showed up. the other day I started the car as normal, got to the servo & filled up. Went in & payed, got back and the car wouldnt fire up straight away. It now does this all the time, taking quite a while to start & generally being a bitch. idle is now quite rough, with a decent amount of black smoke under minimal revs. i may or may not have a cat, but still more black smoke than normal/there should be.

Also, the keyless entry now decides not to work after not being activated for a while (ie overnight). the way I started it up this afternoon was by opening the door & getting the alarm, then putting the key in the ignition and turning it to on & then pressing it. so its gone from a maybe plug/coil issue to possibly being ecu related.

I had my car for 1 day in Perth after the retune & it was perfect, but since I got to queensland its been like this since i picked it up from the TNT depot a week ago.

If anyone at all can help out with this it would be great, all i can narrow it down to is plugs, coils or an ecu issue, ive gone over as many hoses i can find but only checking connections & not leaks. have to do that in the light after reading through some threads but Im hoping for some feedback asap because i need to get down to the gold coast to see my brother & nephew tomorrow or Friday, so the sooner the better! plan b is getting down to the area & getting to a respectable qld workshop to see what they can tell from seeing the car, so if any qld based people can help out there for tomorrow that would be sweet. Cheers, Nathan

First of all, i would get the alarm looked at.

Once that is sorted, then move onto the running problems which could be coil packs, dirty connections, fuel pump... there is a long list

Best to get rid of the alarm/keyless issue first IMO.

yeh id get the alarm checked out once iv checked all fuses first... if the problem is still there id go on and check plugs, leads and coil packs at the same time, sounds like a dodgy ignition problem.. i wouldnt check out the ecu till last, as its not common for it to be ecu related, then again i know nothing about the wolf ecu, so dont quote me on that..

Update.

I (Shayde) was driving behind Ossie just to check how much smoke we're getting here. Basically under load I can't see the back of his car. Under light load, taking off, shifting into 2nd and then 3rd in low speed there was very noticable smoke.

One other thing he told me was that he was driving in 14psi setting and his boost guage read 18psi and his 20psi setting reached 19psi and then cut out. He described it as the engine dying. The car slowed down and just lost all boost and such.

His tuner has thinks it's most likely the map sensor line. Possibly a leak or something like that causing this. If this isn't the case it could be something more sinister.

I want to check all the standard ignition fault causes as well.

Thanks for your help so far guys, it's much appreciated.

      Front LSD Quaife , how streetable ?- QDF3L Owners

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah, the latter. No diff should have a centre replaced without checking clearances because its unlikely to be the same as whatever came out. Not that that stops most people just checking a new centre in

      Major thread necro but how bad of a job is it to DIY? Looking at it online it looks like if you reuse your ring and pinion as long as those are in good condition it should be fine to just pull the axles/front cover and replace the diff that way? Or should I be replacing everything and doing preload measurements/gear mesh testing like the factory service manual mentions for the rear diff?

      The FD RX7 is the best looking 90's JDM car

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      in my list I had the R33 GTR as the best Skyline. Infact I had all GTR's (33>34=32), the NSX, the GTO, the 300ZX, the 180SX, the S15 better than the FD RX7. I had the MR2 and the A80 as 'just' better. I also think the DC5R Integra looks better but this is an 01 onwards car. I also think the FC>FD. It's almost like aesthetics are individual! The elements @GTSBoy likes about the FD and dislikes about the 180 are inverse in my eyes. I hate the rear end of the FD and it's weird tail lights that are bulbous and remind me of early hyundai excels. They are not striking, nor iconic, nor retro cool. The GTO has supercar proportions. I maintain these look much better in person (like the NSX) especially with nice wheels and suspension which is mandatory for all cars pretty much. Some (or all) of these you have to see in person to appreciate. You can't write a car off until you see one in the flesh IMO. Like most people we probably just like/dislike cars which represent certain eras of design or design styles in general. I also think the 60's Jag E type looks HORRIBLE, literally disgusting, and the 2000GT is nothing to write home about. FWIW I don't think the Dodge Viper Gen1's have aged very well either. You can probably see where I rate bubbly coupes like the FD. I know we're straying now but the C4 and C5 absolutely murder the Viper in the looks department as time goes on, for my eyes. Wouldn't surprise me if people who love the FD, also love the MX5, Dodge Viper, Jag E Type, etc etc.

      I used to hate R31s, and any of the other Nissans that led up to it, and any of the Toyotas with similar styling, because of the boxiness. They were, and remain, childish, simplistic, and generally awful. I appreciate R31s a lot more now, but only the JDM 2 door. The ADM 4 door (and any other 4 door, even if they are unique compared to our local one) can eat a bowl of dicks. The Aussie R31 is also forever tarnished by their association with stereotypical bong clutching Aussie R31 owners of the 90s and early 2000s. I think the Nissans of the 70s (other than 120Y/180B/200B) are far superior looking to the 80s cars. The 240K era Skylines are boss. The same is broadly true of Toyotas. Hondas don't ever register in my thinking, from any era. Mitsus are all horrid shitboxen in any era, and so also don't register. Subarus are always awful, ditto. Daihatsus and Suzukis also don't generally register. They are all invisible. I think the SW20 MR2 looks fiddly. The 3000GT/GTO is like that but way worse. Too many silly plastic barnacles and fiddly gimmicks ruined what could have been a really nice base shape. Kinda-sorta looks like a big heavy ST165 Celica coupe (and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing). I think the 180SX is dreadfully bland. It's not bad looking. But it has no excitement to it at all. It's just a liftback coupe thing with no interest in its lines, and bad graphical elements (ie wide expanses of taillight plastic on the rear garnish). The S13 Silvia is a little better - getting closer to R32 shapes. But still....bland. S14? Nope. Don't love it. S15...a little better. Probably a lot better, actually. Benefits from not being like a shrunk in the wash R34 (where the S13 was a shrunk in the wash R32 and the S14 looked like a Pulsar or something else from the stable on Nissan mid 90s horrors). The Z32 was hot as f**k when it came out but hasn't aged as well as the A80. Keep in mind that I think the R33 is the most disgusting looking thing - and out of all the previous cars mentioned is objectively closest to my precious R32. It's just....real bad, almost everywhere you look. And that is down to the majority of what was designed in the 90s being shit. All Nissans from that era look like shit. Most other brands ditto. In that context, the FD absolutely stands out as being by far the best looking car, for reasons already discussed. Going behind the aesthetics, the suspension alone makes it better than almost any other car.

      If they just called it the "Mazda Tiffany", it would have been spot on.
