Hi there I'm new to this forum and. New to skylines in general.

I own a 4 door R33 gts turbo currently when I accelerate while the car changes gears the engine cuts out really badly to the point if I take my foot off the accelerator the car stalls/cuts out completely

Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.

Oh the car is an auto if that helps

Cheers

I don't know if it's stock or not but it has a Garrett T04E T3/T4 turbo, a turbo smart boost tee that goes to a wastegate. The auto feels fine doesn't seem to be slipping.

After that I don't know if there is any other aftermarket stuff I bought it off a family friend who got the car for a debt someone had to him

actually he is a tow company owner that lent out money to a friend haha.

The body is straight, engine runs perfect apart from the cut out between gears,

rego'ed

REVS checked out, so its not stolen or financed.

and i bought it for 2 grand

so :)

Not that I can notice. I asked about the history of the car and got a hold of the old owner who had it since 2001 when he imported it from Japan as a n/a rb25de which he turbocharged not long before he handed it over to the friend I got it off, now he said it wasn't tuned after he turbo'ed it, would that be doing it?

After it revs high it cuts out not just as it changes gears. Only just noticed only had the car a week haha

Sorry, I'm new to turbo's just got my full license.

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
