Hey guys im new to skylines australia and I know this topic has been touched many times however I havent been able to solve my problem so any advise would be much appretiated.

I have a r33 which has a ecu modifyed by sam at dr drift so the afm is located between the intercooler and the inlet plenum anyhow I have had a lot of problems with the intercooler pipe blowing off at the afm (which I think is where my problem first started) so I welded a couple of tabs on each pipe and ran a bolt on bar beside the afm to stop it from seperating, once all that was done the car now seems to have a misfire mabe? it runs a little rougher than normal at idle but seems fine to drive untill you hit boost where it coughs an splutters etc on occiasion it will boost in second gear but it over boosts.

I think the fuel pump is fine as its new and it pumps a bit of black smoke out the back while its playing up and also I have tryed a bunch of things to rectify the problem which includes- cleaning fuel filter etc, carn't find any vacume leaks, new spark plugs, pulled the coil packs off my rb26 and tryed them ( splitfires where on the car), inspected the coil harness and added an extra earth, cleaned earth's on motor, tryed a second ignitor,afm & tps, the wastegate was sticking a bit also but have since cleaned around the valve and flange so it now moves freely, I also hooked it up to the consult cable and it shows no erra's though the tps ( first one) was running at .80 volts so adjusted that to 0.45 v.

So as you can see ive had enough of this f**in pice of sh**t so if anyone can help me out here it would make my day.

check the AFM value during driving on consult

because its been blowing the pipe off you may have physicall damaged the hotwire, its a simple wire after all

Will do mate, when I take a look at the car next its on its second afm though which im pretty confident is in good working order, its gota be somthing like that ive over looked.

Hey guys just thought id run some thoughts past ya,

When the car does boost I carn't hear the wastegate so much yet the boost guage say's the inlet manifold is seeing 22psi which it should be 18psi the wastegate has a 15psi spring in it which leads me to beleve this could a plenum leak, I had allready checked for this but only visualy inspected pipes/hoses etc so are there any suggestions for like a leak down test or something effective without striping everything down?

Cheers

Might have a look at the car this weekend I also noticed it has a slight manifold leak though I wouldn't think it could cause the car to play up this much could it? the engine also seems to be going through huge amounts of fuel is well so im still a bit confused as to what the problem might be?

so come on fella's the more infomation I can get the better im sure some one has had similar symptons any input is always appretiated cheers.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
