Hello Guy i have a rb25det in my r31 and i have a flat spot between 4000 - 5500 rpm then it picks right back up again. now i have done a search but couldnt find what i wanted

car is running 11psi

plugs have been changed and regapped to suit more boost.

has a little miss at idle and sits around 500-600 but once around 1000rpm its fine.

stock ecu

checked timing

i am going to rev zone and putting it on a dyno in a few weeks not much they can do with a stock ecu tho.

any help on this problem would be great

Cheers Adam

The boost is the first thing to check, put that back to 8 or 9 as stated.

The other thing is to make sure ur VCT is working.. A search will bring up a few threads about testing VCT.

The problem is the stock ecu. Get a power fc or better still a mafless ecu and put it in. Dont worry about taking it to the dyno yet, its a waste of money. Put that cash toward your new computer. It will feel like a new car once the computer is in and tuned. Your car will have about 150rwkw give or take.

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
