Hey all,

Just posting this up to see if other may have experienced and recified the same issue with there r33 gtst's.

Car idles nicely at the correct rpm (650rpm from memory). about every 30-45 secods or so its like the motor has a small miss , i feel the engine lightly jolt and revs must drop (happens so quick u dont notice it on the tacho).. This has been happening for some time now, but its getting annoying so i want to try and fix it.

I have new plugs bcpr6es, fuel pump has been replace with a new item, AFM has been cleaned with electrical cleaner.

I have not cleaned aac valve (idle control valve) or replaced the fuel filter.

Any idea what might be causing this.. Coils are good and hold up good under boost and whilst driving the car the problem is not there.. only at idle.

mods include fmic, zorst, std ecu.

lol cheers for the reply man. its annoying to say the least but if its just the plugs then I could live with that. prior to this i run bpr6es (not bcpr6es) and did not have the problem.. Whats the 'c' in bcpr6es mean ?

I have a similar issue in my r32. Does the miss always happen on idle? Or does it come along a couple of days etc?

Ive noticed that when my battery voltage drops below 13v on idle, the car starts to have the little shakes.

In my case, i believe its the alternator not charging the battery on idle and causing it to drop to 12.5v~.

As the voltage is low, this would cause the injectors, coilpacks to act funny causing a slight vibration etc.

Go to an auto electrican to check your alternator/battery to see if they are running okay.

Doesnt hurt to try as they are happy to check for free.

Let us know on the progress.

In addition to this, ensure your battery terminals are clean and ensure there is sufficient grounding. Also check you vacum hoses for fine cracks as a small vacum leak could also show such problems.

sorry to hijack your thread but mine also does similar if not the same thing.

when i pull up to my driveway it idles low and makes a beep/whine while it is idling low then stops when the rpm go up.

Anyone had this/heard to this??

CAR: R33 S1 Stock bar: Catback, k+n panel.

well buggor34 service my car for me (thanks mate) this included new oil 4100, oil filter, fuel filter, new plugs and also cleaned the AAC and FIXED no more missing im so happy, sorry i couldnt be more helpful in diagnosing but one of the above fixed me problem, we are thinking it was most likely the plugs to be honest as the others were totally screwed that or AAC which wasnt really dirty at all.

i've been having a similar problem for a while now. it always goes away when i put new plugs in, but comes back after a couple hundred kays. never paid too much attention to it until this week.

i had my 100,000km service recently. the only thing not replaced was the plugs (at my request, had NGK iridiums only about 1200km old). the misfire got really bad after a timing problem was fixed. replaced the plugs to be on the safe side and the misfire stopped. the thing is, i'm now experiencing a severe lack in power.

when i say severe, don't just pass it off as a non turbo thing, i'm talking 12-13 seconds to get up to 100km/h pulling onto the freeway. when i put my foot down in any gear after 2nd all it does is make noise. and what a noise. my car has always been legal in the volume department, but this morning i couldn't hear the harley sitting next to me at the lights.

something is very very wrong.

any thoughts? i'm taking it back to the shop that did the service as soon as i get a chance, but work is busy and these guys take a ridiculous amount of time to get anything done. for my major service i was without a car for TWO WEEKS.

any thoughts?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
