Hi Guys,

Appologies if this is in the wrong section. My brother in law bought this car

http://www.skylinesa...-skyline-gts-t/

and has now got a wierd problem with it. Basically the car won't rev over 2200rpm(ish) under load and 3500rpm(ish) when sitting still with clutch in. There is also a random hesitation that kicks in at all rpms when it likes.He has basically given up on it and asked me to take a look.

So far I've fixed a loose AFM plug and cleaned it, swapped ignitors, cleaned just about every connector in the engine bay, moved the JECS injector resitor pack away from the turbo manifold (as it was getting bloody hot), re-earthed most of the engine bay. Earthed his bosch fuel pump to the chasis, checked the ECU in diag mode got the "55 all fine", checked for boost leaks (found two hose clamps loose) and scraped most of the skin off my hands with no improvement :(

I've spent hours googling the crap out of this and am coming up blank. help is appreciated guys.

Check timing with a timing light.

The link mentions a 2nd hand CAS, maybe that CAS was borked too.

Does the engine run fine cold, then get issues once warm/hot?

Compression results?

Is the ECU firmly plugged in?

What does the TPS read at idle, and WOT?

Spent a fair bit of time with this car on the weekend. I disconnected the AFM, TPS, temp sensors and a few others individually to see what differences it would make, the only one that put out an error code on the ECU was the AFM when it was disconnected.

Can seems to get worse once it is warmed up, wondering if the the ecu when changing from the cold start to the running map is picking up something and going into limp home mode.

Anyone live in the blacktown area want to lend me an AFM/ecu to test with for about 30min for a case of beer or bottle of jack?

Limp can also be the tps as I found out. Can you measure the voltage output or get a reader onto it?

Did you cut open the AFM and solder the pins inside?

I'm always willing to help for Jack, shame you are so far away. :(

If it were my car, id be very concerned with the following:

JUST RECENTLY INSTALLED JJR PERFORMANCE COIL PACKS

SECOND HAND CAM ANGLE SENSOR , AIR FLOW METER AND IGNITOR FROM SUMO JAP SPARES

all of the above sounds dodgy to me, everything is either shitty or second hand, so even if it did run well , how long would it stay that way?

JJR coilpacks sound cheap and nasty..

Jjr coilpacks are the justjap ones. For the S2 they are prone to failure and Justjap happilyrefunded me for mine having the receipt and me bring the buyer. The car still revved up just on 5 cylinders. Try a different ecu if you have already tried a new.afm and coilpacks.

Got a multimeter onto the TPS, one of the plugs gives a value from 0.1-1.0 volts depending on throttle position, other plug goes from 0.1-0.3 then to infinite value, does anyone know if this is normal, could it be WOT value?

I had this exact problem. I had a contaminant in the fuel which made my Bosch itank pump slowly die.

Check the fuel rail pressure

CHeck the pumps mesh filter for anything. Does te pump sound noisier than normal? Is than basically silent?

Hey man, I'm having basically the same exact problem and given this was back in 2012 lol idk if you would so happen to rememeber what the problem(s) were and how you fixed them ? I've reached a dead end and basically checked and done everything that I can think of and then some, along with trying things from reading on here

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
