Hey I've got a prob and I'm hoping one of you's will know how to fix it.

It doesn't happen all the time but sumtimes when my car is still kinda cold it won't boost, it started doin it after I changed the oil so I was thinking it might have sumthing to do with that?

Any help would be great.

I'll have a look and see if There's any loose tubes today.

I warm the car up for like 15mins before I drive it, thought that'll be enough?

Btw, if it's not boosting, if I turn the car off and then back on itwill start to boost again. Its weird man lol

Thanks for ur help, galois u calling me a retard? Be sure to say it to my face at the next meet up.

lol, I think you are taking the term "retard" out of context...

Rich - More fuel is thrown into the engine to lower the air to fuel ratio

Retard - Ignition timing is changed so that fuel ignition happens later

What does this mean? I'm no mechanic but my understanding is that the ECU thinks the engine may be experiencing something that may cause damage to the engine and is actively trying to protect it.

Hahahahaha that's hilarious, when I saw the preview in my email I'm like "wtf did I say to this guy?!". Not laughing at you mate, I've read the term "rich and retard" so many times and never once like that hahaha.

No need to get aggressive on the forums though mate, it's all just good fun. If you stick round long enough you'll probably get a lot more shit than that for doing absolutely nothing, some people just love the excuse of being anonymous to abuse people.

I'll elaborate a bit more, but I'm FAR from an expert.

The r33's seem to hit rich and retard, where the engine goes into safety mode, easily when the engine has some extra boost added. The boost level seems to change depending on the car (and weather etc, cold dense air often triggers it), and no idea why but most of the posts I've read have it happening on r33's.

Maybe have a search for rich and retard or low boost or something? It comes up fairly regularly on sau. That's assuming it's an ecu cut issue.

Take it easy though, don't thrash it till you've got it figured out or something might go pop.

Yea I thought u were taking the piss outa me lol

But yea there's afew keyboard heroes out there :|

Well like I said I might take it to uni group when I get chance, it's due for a retune anyways... Last place I took it too f**ked it and it pings here and there on high boost :/

Till than tho I'll be running it on low boost.

Btw it only does that boost cut thing when it's a really cold morning so it might be as u said. But yea it's only done it twice on me in the past month so i dunno.

Honestly thanks for ur info, I'll search the forums for abit regarding rich and retard after work.

Cold mornings mean the motor will be running quite rich untill it is properly warm, It would be miss firing because it cant burn the all the fuel.

How long since you have changed the plugs, they are probably starting to foul up.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      BCNR33/ECR33 Door corner piece replacement

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !

      I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
