My poor car

Guest 382 GZV - 4 Door R33

I know this has been talked about in other threads but now I can't find them when I need them most!

My car has developed a machine gun noise (a small jerking in the acceleration) above 5000rpm in any gear. My car is standard but for exhaust and K&N panel. At this rpm, the car is reading 9psi at the manifold.

The only two things I can think that may have triggered this is 1. I hit the speed limiter the day before, 2. I tried hooking up a boost controller (which I later took out) and wired it up wrong the first time - the car reached a maximum of 11psi but was immediately fixed....I tested the fuel pressure, spark plugs (replaced them with ones we know work) and resetting ECU but to no result.

Please someone help me!

Steve It still feels like a boost cut to me though I don't know why it should come into play at only 9psi.

Have you figured out how to run the diagnostics yet? If not give me a call and we can organise to do it. Another thing we can try is swapping in my boost control solanoid to check if yours is faulty....we should have thought of that the other day.

When is the fmic and pod going in?

my car use to do that, its non turbo but i dont know if that makes too much difference. I recently changed the fuel filter and there is no problem now. I dont know if it was so dirty or sumthing it was clogging up but its done me well. I also put injector cleaner and additives in the engine oil cos it was developing a knock which has also gone too

The plugs I put in were gapped to .8 and I only have stardard boost (reading 9psi @ manifold).

I thought they had to change the fuel filter when they comply the car - it was complied end of Feb this year.

Jay -

Yeah, we should have tried your boost solenoid. I have tried to run the diagnotics but I couldn't find the screw/dial I'm spose to turn to begin the diagnostics.

The FMIC goes in on Monday next week (hopefully it's not delayed any longer). I have got hold of the adapter plate for the pod. I will drop round Saturday to pick up mick's pod and hopefully fit it before going on the cruise.

Steve.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
