hey guys.

my 96 r33 skyline is running like a dog, and has been ever since i bought it. now the problem is if i have it with over drive off ( so it kicks into 4th), when i take my food off accelerator fast, the car drops revs down down sounds like it is about to stall then bubbles and bubbles then kicks back upto normal and so on. I have replaced the intercooled and pipeing with a justjap cooler thinking it could be air leaking but didnt help at all...

Cars a auto too sorry

anyone got any ideas on why this happens?

I have exactly the same car as yours... I actually specifically wanted a turbo Auto as I'm fan of the 1/4 mile and like the way auto Skylines fly... damn fast... ok now... if you want to race in an auto... you have to do it the right way to maintain the revs at the higher RPMS...

This is what I do.... leave it on D - rev it all the way up to around 3,000 rpm's (with overdrive turned off)... then quickly kick it down to second gear... then you'll find that you'll maintain the car at the higher 4,000 - 5,000 RPM range quite well...

Also, there's a POWER button in the centre console...kick the down too... it should give you a bit of a kick in... I changed my fuel pump so being auto it reacts really well... damn fast... if you still expeience the sluggish performance... I'd bring it to a mechanic and get it checked out asap.

Good luck bro.

when i take my food off accelerator fast, the car drops revs down down

you're still grappling with the "pickle matrix"

try keeping the food off the accelerator completely... :D

air flow meter?

I second that. it can be cleaned by removing it and running some metho or other non-residual contact cleaner over the little wires that hang down inside it (but dont touch these contacts with your fingers or anything). The metho will clean it up, then just leave it to dry for about 30 mins (metho dries very quickly) and you can safely put it back on the car and you're good to go.

if you like you can also tip a tiny bit onto the actual contacts where the plug connects to it on the side...just to make sure the plug has a good contact.

its a quick and easy check so i'd do that first.

otherwise i guess check plugs/coils etc.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
