Hi guys,

Had my 33 on the dyno for the first time the other day, trying to sort a problem with a flat spot/hesitation around 3000rpm. It was showing 155.8 rwkw @ 6750 rpm. As far as I know, the only mod to the car is a cat back exhaust. Does this power figure seem accurate?

I am also interested to know what the rwkw figure is for a stock r33 if someone could tell me.

Also I have run out of ideas with what might be causing the problem with the car. It usually only happens when the car is cold, and only around 3000rpm. Happens inconsistently and mostly if you shift up a gear to 2500rpm and then accelerate. Everyone that has seen it says that it is not the coils, and the guy that dynoed it says that he thinks it might be a partially blocked exhaust becuase the car is very quiet.

Any suggestions?

Nick

hey dude, you copying me;)j/k

it may just be your plugs... my car had a miss on the dyno due to fouled plugs (apparently octane booster and platinums don't agree with each other)

If it is just the odd miss here and there most likely to be some kind of spark/ignition problem... wouldn't worry about power output... if anything 155rwkw sounds a bit on the high side

Geez, names are pretty close aren't they!!

Plugs are iridiums I got from Nissan. Don't think they are fouled at all.

Problem was really bad this morning. It is hard to reproduce on the dyno and is mainly when the car is cold. It is as if it is coming onto boost and then it just goes jerky and loses power for a second or two, then goes fine. Change gears and it does it again. Once the car has warmed up, it seems to run fine.

Interloper - Got the car dynoed at Geelong Tune Up by Phil. Which side of geelong are you from?

Why cant you just wait till the car has warmed up? You're supposed to warm the engine up first anyway, otherwise you force unnecessary wear on the internals.

It could be the plugs tho. Iridiums are only good for durability. Copper plugs have a bigger head (so they produce a bigger spark), copper is more conductive than platinum/iridium (so its easier to get a spark), and they self clean (carbon deposits have a higher affinity to bond with platinum/iridium). Only problem with coppers is they need to be changed every 10-15K km.

hehe, my names phil too :mad:

I'm from leopold and used to get dalton to do work on my car. Where abouts is "Geelong Tune Up"? I've never even heard of them.

:D

Interloper, Where abouts in Leopold? I'm from Leopold as well. My line is the burgandy R33 with white rims. Geelong Tune Up is in Wood St, South Geelong. I get all of the servicing/normal work done by my Dad or do it myself, cause Dad has his own workshop in Crown St, but he doesn't really go into the performance side of things at all. Whats Dalton like? I've heard he's pretty pricey.

RiggaP - I live right near the highway. Only 800 metres of driving and then I am on the highway, so I need to get to 100 reasonably fast, wouldn't go past 4000rpm until it has warmed up though.

Don't think it is plugs cause it was doing it before I put Iridiums in. When I first got the car, it wasn't doing it though.

would like to stay off boost, but there are a lot of cars on this particular highway. And it is only 2 lanes wide so at 8.20 in the morning there aren't too many gaps!!!

Remote start would be nice! Especially since the car lives outside and is pretty cold in the morning!!

Hey, me too i live about 800m from bellarine hwy and use the remote start before i get going in the morning cause its a pain getting upto speed on a busy morning.

But i don't really give a sh1t, i just take my time to get to 100 - who cares if you hold up a lane of traffic? the well being of your cars much more important :P

I live just off melaluka, off cypress cres. Where abouts are u?

Dalton is good, they charge much less than shops in melb, but they don't have a 4wd dyno. But i usually take the line to melb to get work done - RiggaP knows...

:)

Off Highland Way, just up from the Leopold Sportsmans Club. I reckon its time for a Geelong members get together!! How about a bbq one Sunday down Eastern Beach or something? Of course everyone else is invited as well, not just Geelong people. If people are interested, I will postit in the events section.

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
