Hey guys recently went for a drive in my mates skyline r33 gts-t and on high boost 12 psi the car was cutting out which we thought was the car was over boosting therefor hitting fuel cut, but then we turned it down back to standard boost and it continued to do the same.

My mate has been pulling his hair out on the situation and was even contemplating selling his beloved car which he loves more than anything in the world id i hate to see it go because i know how much it means to him.

I thought it may have been the coil packs but i was not sure what do you guys think the problem may be?

Is this common?

Cheers

Christian

Don't know how you could hit fuel cut - there isn't one :P

Sounds like coil packs or plugs or AFM related.

Simply have a search in Forced Induction. These types of threads come up on a daily basis.

To talk about selling for what is a minor and common issue is a bit drastic, perhaps take it to a workshop if you can't diagnose yourself?

hey mate, back when i had my 33, the engine would cut out and i couldnt rev past 5000rpm. i thought it was a whole heap of different problems but it ended up just being the spark plugs. this is y u only see a mechanic u trust since the idiot i got to look at mine said i had genuine iridiums running, but when i pulled them out i found cheap burnt out $2 plugs. chucked some NGK platinums in and suddenly i was able to hit the redline no problems. i suggest u check out those plugs mate

I had the same problem with my R33-t checked plugs was fine and ended up replacing my coil packs with splitfire, now no problems, they seem to build up some heat in that channel and give an hair line crack, but that was my problem.

    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
    • Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
