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.

Mine did the same thing FOULED SPARK PLUGS or boost set to high if your running standard boost try option one hope it helps let me know how you go.

yeah i will try that are you running stock spark plugs or did u choose a aftermarket performance set and if so what are they what are they like?

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 :)

did you check your mileage before and after this visit?

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
