Help!

[Beeble]

Firstly, hello Melbournites, my name is Adam and i've moved here from Perth last week. i have a little problem, my r33 is a sick backfiring fuel guzzling got-no-power farting mess at the moment.

o2 sensor has been changed, wiring has been checked, new plugs etc etc... 3 different places in perth have no idea what's wrong since it's a sporadic problem (ALWAYS brought on by driving on boost for a few minutes)

i'm living in heidelberg.

anyone recommend any shops that would be good for this sort of thing? i've found a few places that look likely in the yellow pages but they are all miles away.

thanks heaps in advance guys

my fuel bill and my sanity depend on you!!

Firstly welcome to SAU Vic.

I dunno what problem it could be, but a lot of us go to Ice Performance in Cheltenham (not that close to Heidelberg I know), but they are a great bunch. Give a bell on 9512 7591

good luck

Lol, ah yeah. Forgot that! Welcome to SAU vic! ICE are good too!

[Beeble]

[adznight]

Good luck! Hope it's nothing too serious.

M.I. (Mirror Image) Automotive in Bulleen always serviced my R33, I would highly recommend them. You could almost walk there from Heidelberg. They'll also chuck the car on the dyno for free after the service to see what it's making, tuning is obviously extra.

yeah the guys at BMT should be able to find the issue...

migth even be a fault AFM?

borrow another one and see if it makes a diff.

and yes... welcome to VIC!

could be the safc on crack and running too rich, the ecu counteracts and does wierd shit?

Hi Adam, & welcome to victoria "the place to be defected" --> had to do that INASNT!

It sounds like your Air Fuel Ratio's. I had a similar problem with the GTR. nothing a dyno tune can't fix. That's of course if you have a programmable unit ecu or safc

[Beeble]

Yep have a SAFC and the same problem happens when it's on or when it's in "omit" mode, so we've ruled that out. fuel pressures are ok, seems to be something electircal coz it cuts out for a few seconds on the freeway then comes back to life. still makes good power on the dyno when it's behaving, which is becoming less and less frequently. it's an intermittent problem, making it even more annoying.

*sigh*

anyways, wish me luck, and thanks for the help guys. and say hi if you see a WA-plated silver r33 around!
