Hey guys,

i recently bought a 1997 S2 R33 gtst,

I have changed the coil packs and the cleaned the AFM along with buying a new pod filter.

Had the Cam Belts re done etc etc and she was running amazing except for when i go to boost it feels as though the power isnt there..

I then went and changed the spark plugs to NGK etc.

Now when im reaching high rev's about to hit boost the car just jolts... this has never happened be4. started happening after i changed the spark plugs. (note i have not re-gaped the plugs or anything)

My first thought was that maybe its the fuel pump but honestly no idea.

does anyone have any idea what the issue maybe.

Thanks in advance.

1 other thought chap, did you install a boost controller? if you do, make sure it isnt set above 10-12 psi... if it is, just click it back a few.... you could be hitting the brick wall of boost cut.

Hey paul i dont have a boost controller atm. Plugs went back in tonight and she isn't jolting anymore although now it feels like she is cutting out while trying to boost almost as if it cant handle it. Any ideas? Im thinking ill have to send her down to the mechanics.

Cheers

if it is doing it at about 4500 rpm my man, its your coil packs. very common problem as with age they deteriorate.

find a spare set from some where and swap them out...

now bare in mind they are series dependant. s2 33 coils wont work on s1.

33 gtr coils will work on s1 but not s2. should be plenty around, if not check out amayama.com for a full set of replacement oem ones.

righto!

if you have 12 coilpacks swap and change with them, find six that work. its a pain but always good to have em....

all good mate, do us a favour, WHEN you sort it, cos you will, pop back and give it an answer.

nothing worse than googling a problem, reading a thread, then finding out the OP didnt say what it was!

      I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.

      Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.

      Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.

      hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator

      wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
