Hi guys im new to the place thought i would say hi and hit you up with a problem i got. As i just purchasd my R33 gtst 4 door im new to the owning a skyline but not new about knoledge about them. I went to pick up my car on the weekend and i found a problem with it. When the car comes on boost it hesitates and surges through the rev range like a fuel problem now the fuel pump is new 500HP walbro and the filter is new so is the airflow metre. Im running stock boost and everything is stock can anyone help please i want my baby running fine ASAP

Check your boost - standard without much mods - should be running around 8-11 PSI max in my opinion. With mods, proper boost controller, run max 14 psi.

Get your vehicle tuned and make sure you only run your vehicle with high-octane fuel - I recommend Shell's V-POWER.

Moreover, make sure you warm up your car at all times. Either turn it on and let it idle for around 5 minutes before you drive off or, drive slowly for around 5 minutes and let the engine warm itself up slowly. Never ever cane it when the engine temperature is still cold.

Hope that helps. good luck.

most likely a spark related problem then a fuel problem. check your plugs, gap to .8mm. may also be your coils which get hairline fractures causing the spark to arc out causing a missfire

will test them sa well do you yhink if the coil packs need replacing it would be better to upgrade to spitfire high performance coilpacks and use a plug with a 1mm gap???

cant exacly remember what they are but they cost me around $25 each they seemed to do the trick running at 11 PSI all day. think some NKG Iridium

Iridium is a precious, silver-white metal and one of the densest materials found on earth. The natural properties of Iridium offered NGK the opportunity to create one of the world's finest spark plugs. The result are spark plugs that require less voltage to spark, burns fuel more efficiently, sparks at leaner air/fuel mixtures, and delivers higher horsepower and better gas mileage.

NGK IRIDIUM SPARK PLUG ONLY NEED TO REPLACE EVERY 100000 KMS.....

Have you got an after market boost gauge to see higher boost levels if present cause i sent my car in for reapairs once and they must of fu@#ed with the manual boost controller it had, cause it was surgin like a MF when i got it back then realised how high she was boostin with standard ECU (computer)too much boost (boost cut out,a safety thing) any way might be helpful if its not a boost cut issue then i would lean towards electrical?

eah i got a gauge it sits at .06bar when boosting so i say its spark thanks heaps :)

      Stagea S2 RS Four S Misfire/Rough Idle

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.

      Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.

      I installed it all myself,  It was really easy to install.  I got a professional to do the degas/gas.
