hey,

i need help to find the problem with my 93 r33 gtst.

everytime i step on the throttle it makes a fluffing type

noise like its maybe over fueling.

its hard to explain but only does it at top revs(around 5 to 7k)

and under load.

iv been told that it maybe be one of the coil packs but any other

suggestion would be great.

cheers,

Matt

fluffling noise?... does it missfire at all? when last did you change your plugs? how much power do you have? standard clutch? (sliping)

if you can answer those questions it will help us to diagnose the problem a little better.

cheers

i had this EXACT same problem. it aint ya coil packs.

Its def the sparkys. You can fix this problem for around forty dollars.

Go and buy 6x NGK BCPR6ES plugs.

From memory, Make sure they are gapped at 0.7mm.

Install.

Take your 33 for a blast.

Come back here and tell me if it works.

well said....but do not relly on these plugs for a long time....my NGK coppers only lasted for around 6 mnths not even that....irridiums are the best and from memory the gapping in 0.8-1mm....my mate had this problem on his 33 and as far as i have read along its definately the spark plugs....

hi guy's thanks for all your suggestions,

in answer to ur question its more of a fluffing noise then a

miss fire and its worst underload.

wats ur thought on wat fuel to run?

mine is a hole heap better on 98 then reg.

also i need new tierod ends any suggestion were is best to

buy them

cheers

+1 to that....keep the gapping to 0.8 around that mark and do not use anything less then 98 even though the motor can run on a 95 fuel only if its completely stock....btw if you get your car fixed please let me knw what you had to replace to get the power back....i am having similar issues.....

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
