Hi Guys, recently my car starts to jerk a little once it touches 3000rpm and stops at 4000rpm. This happens especially in the morning and also when say u are crusing at a constant speed and u step a bit more gas suddenly. Doesnt matter which gear u are on so long as it touches that range it will start to jerk a bit. If I were to do a launch, I realise there no jerking at all. Don't think its the boost cut because u don't have to put your foot down all the way to have the jerking. And it's not misfiring for sure coz I just changed my plugs and regapped to 0.8. My fuel pump works fine and injectors too I think, if not the jerking might be everywhere when I push the motor. Wondering if any of u guys had this problem before or any of u can help.

is it making a sort of stuttering noise? if so its probably a boost leak.. check all your major hoses and intake piping.

Had that problem in the past myself. Ok at light throttle, but soon as it got to a certain point the motor (or ECU working out the engine was lacking) would start playing funny buggers and stutter.

I've had this problem as well. I would be willing to bet you a slab of beer it's a bad plug or dirty coils. If your out north take it to these guys

My car just came back from the wrokshop. Problem solve...phewww! My cam sensor is faulty. Now it is back to normal. But my tuner actually lower my boost to 0.70 - 0.75 Bar and surprisingly I got a little kws on wheels gain comparing with what I boost before (0.95-1.0 bar). So theortically if I boost back to 0.95 - 1.0 Bar I get more rwkws? What do u guys reckon?

i have the same problem , like someone tapping on yr brakes when u accelerate. It only started happening only after i had my fmic , pump , regulator and boost (0.9bar). I just changed my plugs with .8 gap so cant be plugs. is it really the coils?

Hard to say unless you drive the thing yourself. I had a similar problem between 4000 -5000. I tried so many things, including new platinum plugs, pulled out the injectors and had them cleaned and flow tested, new oxygen sensor blah blah blah....still happening.

I swapped my old pod filter for a spanking new K&N pod..... problem solved. Guess she wasn't sucking enough air. Some times it's the little things :D

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
