Hey guys ive just recently purchased an R33 gts-t series one.

When i start the car on a cold start it is revving at 1500rpm. After a couple of minutes it slowly drops to 1000rpm. Is this normal? Also at about 5500rpm the car starts to missfire fairly bad. Just wondering if this could be related. What is my best solution to these problems?

Any advice would be appreciated. Matt

you just bought it.

who knows when it was last serviced.

change the spark plugs to start with..

here's my recent service speed hump..

I was getting missfire at high revs too.

pics might show you why..

as for revs, mine doesn't rev that high at cold start so I'm not sure why that might be.

Idle can be adjusted.

and warm idle shouldn't be 1000rpm.

get your spark plugs, oil and oil filter changed.....and if it still continues then i guess check the boost controller sometimes people without knowing connect it back to front and that will cause the missfire as well.....idle at 1500 sounds ok to me and once its warmed up then it should go down to 1000rpm....

1000rpm at idle is too high for a 33gtst. it should be about 650-700rpm. you can easily adjust the warm idle via a screw at the vac idle valve thing at the rear of the plenum. this will probably fix your cold idle too. do a search.

as for the missfire, it may be plugs. if that isnt it. it may be coil packs. do a search. plenty of info

    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
