go with the standard plugs first,skylines like to do this when you dont f*k off the factory boost control,computer sees extra air then says you need more fuel so you get too much and it flat spots,0.8mm gap plugs usually fixes it.start with plugs if that dont work work ur way back form there,ie nxt step coils...still check out the ecu option,it can fix a lot at once

Is it misfiring or just a bit of a hesitation?

I had a bit of a hesitation that was fixed by fiddling with my ebc settings. Dropped the setting that it uses to hold the gate shut down by 0.2psi and the hesitation went away and is now smooth as. Basically it was bringing on boost too hard and going past the SET value momentarily.

do you still run a standard ecu?if so the extra airflow from the higher boost could be upsetting the ecu and messing with the mixtures,hesitation/flat spot because the ecu is pushin a bit too much fuel in for the extra air, its just one of many possibilities,most of them are mentioned in the thred anyway,i just thought id add that,simple test,turn boost back to stock then see if it still hesitates,if it does then im wrong on that part...

i had the same problem with my r34, it turned out to be the coils in my case. the spark from the standard coils isn't strong enough and when it comes onto high boost it simply blows the spark out. but are you running a high/low boost set up or just straight out 10psi?

just straight out 10psi i will wind boost down tonight and see if it makes a diff.

Pull out your coil packs........ Its easy to do.

Undo the 8 screws that hold the plastic cover on, at the top of the engine.

Take the wired off the coil packs........ 6 of.

pull the coil packs out, and check them very carefully for cracks. I did this, and found NO cracks. I covered the underside of the coil packs with high temp (shellys roof and gutter) silicone.

Checked and re gaped plugs to .8, now the problem is no more, im running .9 of a bar too. Only mods are pod, cooler, full exhaust and pump .........

      How much roughly to convert stock r32gtr to single high mount turbo + ecu and tune

      By The Bogan · Posted

      As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car

      Any feedback on GReddy Turbine Kit T620Z in r33 GTST/RB25DET?

      By R3N3 · Posted

      For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By R3N3 · Posted

      +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
