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

    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
    • It just depends if you're like me with a high level of OCD for doing something like hardlines, and highly critical of the little things, and then bugger all patience to get it how my brain pictures it
    • More than happy with the colour match Talking to the painter he recommended to give the top a few weeks for the paint to 100% cure prior to sealing it with the ceramic stuff Also, because why not..... I have a fancy pants Fluidampr harmonic balancer on order, the 2.5 engine uses the OEM 2.0 balancer off the old motor as the 2.5 balancer is a larger unit and doesn't fit clearance wise, which, because the two engines have different harmonics, isn't optimal, the OEM balancer does the job, but as the gear driven balancer in the bottom end is removed to fit a RWD application there is slightly more vibration, the Fluidampr helps with the harmonics that the gear driven balancer once took care of,  basically makes life easier on the oil pump and bearings when thrashing it around Hopefully the weather gets better soon because I'm keen for some cruising around, and currently, with the winds and storms we are getting, the amount of detritus being blown around from trees on the road isn't something I want to be driving around in
