Hi guys, i own an automatic r33 gtst s2.

My friend and i serviced the car the other day, new spark plugs, oil change, oil filter, fuel filter, and now im having issues with the car!!

Now when i go to drive it there is like a long pause before it will engage the gears.

I disconnected the battery and reset the ecu/remapped twice and it helped very slightly.

I go to accelerate now and the revs go up and then after too long a pause it engages the power sort of abruptly. Im not sure what i did wrong... dangerous when i need to get on a roundabout!!

Ok one thing i had noticed i put too much oil in... ive been trying to drain it out but it wont come out!! The sump will give me about a litre then just stop. So i tried again the other day, gave me like 500ml then just stopped completely. I think i still have about a litre too much in there... shouldnt the oil be draining like fairly easily??

any ideas?? thanks in advance

are you talking about the engine oil being too full? if so, just remove the oil cap, drop the sump bolt out and drain it all out and then refill it.

don't see how this could really affect the gearbox though. resetting the ecu shouldn't also have much affect either as it is more than likely something to do with the gearbox oil or the stall converter as to why it takes a while to go into gear.

This doesnt sound good..Id say either some sort of sludge build up is blocking the hole..which isnt good..or did you take your filler cap off when u tried to drain it, maybe its just a vacumn lock but ive never had that happen before..

How much oil did you drain out before you put more in, cause if its not not draining now it probably didnt drain properly before you put new oil in, how much did you put in...

thanx for replies guys,

i didnt remove the oil cap the second time i went to drain oil, prolly why not much came out. When i drained it when we did the service i think maybe 2 and a bit L came out, and i prolly put like almost 4 back in stupid me not realising till i checked the dipstick it was way over. Anyway i did drain like another litre and a half back out but still got a bit to go. Ill prolly put it on a slight incline and try to drain the whole lot then tip it back in like you said.

But yeah the time before this i put standard copper plugs in with 1.1 gap (i used to run .8) and every time i put my foot down the car shat itself, misfiring etc etc so i reset ecu, remapped the timing and it went ok, not great tho. Now with the latest service i went back to 0.8 gap (bcpr6es) and took it for a drive before reseting the ecu and thats when i was having all these issues with the accelerating. I put my foot down, rev meter goes up and nothign happens then suddenly BAM the gear drops in/power engages and it goes - after that initial pause of like 2-3 seconds??! So i reset the ecu / timing and remaped it to the new plugs, but it still does it. Not as bad as before i remapped it (you couldnt even drive it then - too dangerous) but its still doing it to a lesser degree. I go to accelerate and the gear takes its time to engage or the power takes its time to kick in one or the other im not sure which or why!! But now theres maybe a 1-2 second delay. Before all this it would engage almost instantly.

Im not sure where to start lol, should i buy new plugs and start over??

Guys, I'm having the same problem as well. My car seem hesitant as well. The 2-3 seconds lag is worrisome. So whats the solution to this?

I figured that there are few possibilities ranging from a blockage in the air filter; weak battery (Not too sure); blockage in the throttle body or worse, transmission problems.

Hey George

Do you have a 2-3 second lag between the time you press the accelerator and the time the gearbox kicks into gear like the OP or do you have a lag from the time you press the accelerator to the time the revs come up. ?

How does the car feel when your sitting still, in your driveway, is it responsive when you free rev it.

I don't see how a problem with your air filter or your throttle body is going to affect your transmission.

What happens after the lag period ? you put ya foot down -- 2-3 seconds lag -- then the car takes off ,, what happens next, does it run fine through the rev range and change gears perfectly after the initial lag ?

      Alarm/immobiliser recomendations for an R33

      By Duncan · Posted

      FWIW, as well as a basic immobiliser/remote unlock (all basic units give you those 2 things), I would also install a 4g tracker in any car I cared about. Just hide it anywhere that won't be found in a rushed look and preferably get something with a built in battery backup so it stays online for a while when the battery is removed or flat While its not a car, when our car trailer was stolen in that den of crime Sydney about a decade ago, the cops were watching from the bloke's neighbour's lawn within about 2 hours until he started swapping the plates and putting up the gumtree ad.   Obviously it is still not undefeatable (eg parking it up for a few days somewhere without sky sight) but it greatly improves your chances of getting it back quickly and with less damage

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Instead of magic keyphrases I wonder if something can be done with auto complete. Similar to how user names are handled already. When you type '@' and follow with letters, it'll search across all usernames. It might work to have the same for forum topics. Some key to trigger it and then text search across all thread names and it'll insert the name and URL when pressing enter.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hmmm.... It's actually a bit weird. Here's the key bit of the diagram. I've circled what I'm pretty sure is the high beam indicator on the cluster. It appears to be just in parallel with one of the high beam lamp globes. Meaning, that however the high beams get lit, the indicator should also be lit. So there shouldn't be any difference between being on normal headlight main beam, or just flashing. I've followed the physical diagram (which is not so easily summarised in a single snip, so I didn't put it up here) and it agrees with what you can see here. If you struggle to follow this crap....let me explain some of it. I always struggle when I first look at this - even though I have looked specifically at this more than once in the past. We'll start with the flash. The flash is triggered by pulling the dip switch back, right? That is indicated on the diagram by the P position on the switch block labelled "Light SW", on the RHS of the snip. The bottom-right most terminal is connected to ground. That's that wire line going down to the bottom. The next terminal up is connected to the bottom terminal when the switch is pulled back. That provides ground to wire LA33, which is connected to the coil of the relay in the middle of the snip, "Headlamp relay (2M)". That relay always has power on the other side of the coil, from fuse #19 above it. When that relay is triggered, the two main headlamp fuses #32 & #33 above feed through the relay down onto wires LA31 and LA32, which are connected into the wires that go to the main beams, LA04 and LA06. The cluster indicator is connected to LA32 also. When the main beams are on normally, the light switch ("Light SW" again) is in the M position. Power comes in for the left and right sides on LA34 and LA36, via the other light switch (the one on the binnacle, called "Light SW (Instrument)" on the diagram). Obviously that switch needs to be in the 2nd position, because that's headlights. 1st position is parkers. The same main headlamp fuses #32 & #33 feed through that switch, out via LA34&36 to the stalk switch, and of out of the stalk switch via LA04 and LA06 to the headlamps. From there, it is no different to the flasher version. I really don't know why they bothered with the flash relay. They probably didn't want to add another contact in the stalk switch - but I'm damn sure that's what I would have done. Just reverse the order of power feed, so that it goes from the fuses to the stalk switch first, and add another contact for flashing. Everything would have worked just the same, but less complicated. /bitchrant

      Rv37 400r questions

      I think the solution Pac posted in the other thread is the way to go with the top screen; I have an ADM Q50 and I only use it for 2 things: 1. Reverse or front camera as triggered automatically by Reverse selection or the front sonars, and you can also call up the front left (or front) camera when parking by hitting the camera button on the centre console if necessary 2. Navigation. I can assure you that getting hold of a 10 year old nav system is utterly useless. The ADM system still has Inifiniti dealers marked (always give me a good laugh), is missing all new freeways, uses fixed speed by road type to determine arrival time, no traffic/re-routing, no speed cameras, no user reported cameras etc etc you get the idea So, Pac posted in the other thread about a box that plugs into the USB C and gives you full Android OS to run whatever modern/connected nav you want on the top screen, and it still automatically switches back to function 1 above when required because it runs within the head unit. The other modern alternative is the latest version of the Tesla screen like this:  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007511322502.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.25.33cefEZifEZibq&algo_pvid=cdae429c-aa8d-437f-a436-c727fee85461&algo_exp_id=cdae429c-aa8d-437f-a436-c727fee85461-12&pdp_npi=4%40dis!AUD!2181.36!1265.19!!!9834.81!5704.20!%402101c71a17362022663526105e36d7!12000041077843545!sea!AU!163137612!X&curPageLogUid=F9811g8oqx5H&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch|query_from%3A But I haven't looked into whether it is compatible with Australian 4G bands yet so it may require a separate 4g dongle to provide data

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Duncan · Posted

      In the 32 race car, I basically run what Gary told me and it is lovely across a range of conditions which is what I needed. I've got revalved bilsteins, adjustable solid sway bars, adjustable bushes all round. Just looking at Neil's R33 GTST and it has pretty much the same on board, Gary Bilsteins, Selby/whiteline sway bars.  Gary knows suspension generally and these cars specifically very well across street, street/track and track only use and gives a very well balanced set up. Just be aware his preference is for light springs and heavy sway bars, there is another school of though (eg MCA) that prefer lighter swaybars and heavier springs/shocks. The evo I raced had that setup and it was also very nice so there are multiple ways to skin cats.
