Help Help Help ! Installed New Apexi Power Intake & Now Car Wants To Stall -


Recommended Posts

Hiya people - help needed - I just installed new apexi power intake In my R33 gts-t , the car is stock apart from full cat back exhaust..

after installing - i disconnected the battery to reset the ECU and held down brake pedal to get residual power out - waited five mins then re-connected battery & afm. Took car for a drive and it keeps wanting to stall or it sounds like a car does when you are about to run out of petrol - stutters and spurts anywhere above 3000rpm - it sounds like the car is starved for air..

Please help -

It should be ok the car will run rough for a little while (about the first 15 minutes of driving) as the ecu re-learns all the settings again, also if the car wasnt warmed up before you reset the ecu the timing is immediatley retarded for cold startup

Hope this helps

Sounds like your silicon connections are loose. I would check over all the piping make sure you don't hear any leaks, you could try spraying something like aerostart around them, if you hear it pick up revs there is a leak.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
