I was driving just before and my car was not runing right...

It would hesitate to accelerate and a funny sound would come from the exhaust (bwaaaa) almost like it wasn't firing or something, the boost stayed normal?

This isnt the first time, It doesn't miss fire/pop or anything, it just took allot longer to rev out??

i would check fuel pressure and filter make sure it actually getting fuel there, and when my air flow meter plug was a bit lose i would get the same problem, with inacurate readings from your flow meter this would cause the car to either not run or run really rich. but from the sounds of what you have discribe that so sound like your cat even though it is fine. verry odd.

Mate its about time you took the car to a decent workshop to get it checked out.

All your threads seem to point to one thing - you car has issues, they need a professional to look into.

mate, i have been to four mechanics, two of them rep tuners, two of them searched for the problem with obviosly no success, that cost me $400, $200 each.

so im trying to find the problem myself...

when my car had issues with the stock coils, it sounded like a wrx, ie dropped a cylinder. That very distinctive boxer style rumble.

could be coils i suppose.

have had you compression/leak down tests down? checked timing belt? etc...

Mate you can't even describe the problem in accurate detail, troubleshoot parts or anything.

Im not having a go at you, but honestly people can keep throwing suggestions at you for the next month and you'll still not get it fixed.

There are decent workshops in each state for this type of thing. Failing one there is always a 2nd choice.

Now i find it hard to believe you've been too two reputable workshops - not tuners - workshops. This is a mechanical issue unrelated to the cars tune.

Just a quick one and no i'm not being a smart ass but check there isn't something preventing you from getting wide open throttle, like a car mat or the like? has happened before and not getting 100% throttle opening could be what you're experiencing. Good luck hope you figure it out.

    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
