Hey i've got a 96 SII R33 gts-t 5 speed. Got 90 000kms on it and basic mods.. splitfire coil packs, k&n filter, boost controller on 9 psi, 34 cooler and stock exhaust.

Problem is ever since ive got it.. even before i did the above mods, every now and then i put my foot down and the boost goes up on the gauge.. turbo's spooling.. cars revving.. but it's not going anywhere:s well it is just really really slowly.. much slower than it's suppose to. I would say it's something to do with the air/flow meter or a boost leak or something but don't know where it could be coming from.

Kind of jerks a bit when it does it too.. could it be misfiring? It kinda feels the same as when i let it rev 5000rpm + just kinda makes noise but doesn't do anything. Hard for me to tell if its misfiring as the factory exhaust is so quiet and whenever i go to show someone else it doesn't do it:@

Anyone experienced this or got any recommendations?

Thanks.

your stock exhaust is very restrictive and probably stopping you from making much power.. get an aftermarket exhaust with high flow cat and you'll know about it.

as for whether or not there is a problem.. if you say the car is revving and not going anyway, i'd be suspect on the clutch slipping perhaps ???? if it was missfiring / boost leak / AFM you'd notice fluctuations in the revs. if the revs appear to be normal, then i'd guess its the clutch or something in the drive train.

yeah i've got a new heavy duty clutch. the revs dont shoot through the roof they continue climbing just slower with occasional slight jerk.. sorry i can't really explain it better than i have:s

yeah im going to get the full exhaust when i get tax back fingers crossed it wont still be doing it but seems liek it's something electrical or boost related to me.

fingers crossed the exhaust is a noticeable difference as well lol.

new platinum spark plugs 5000kms ago.. might check them anyway though. Haven't thought about fuel pump but maybe i should swap it with another one or test it. Do they usually conk out at 90 000 though? AFM looks clean to me. Due for a timing belt service soon maybe i should get them to look at it if i haven't fixed it by then.

    • Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍
    • I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.
    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
