Hey guys,

well as some of you know i have been having a few problems with my car lately,

slowly getting it sorted out, its running a little better than before the only thing wrong now is from standing still and lauching full throttle i get a flat spot after 4000rpm and continues until i change gear but i will get it in 2 and 3rd gear also.

what could it be?

1) Could be stock ecu boost cut. How much boost are you running?

2) Thats about the time the VVT comes in, So big touque increase which means your spark could be a little weak at that point. What have you set your spark gap to, what is the heat range of your plugs? Try lowwering the gap by 1 mil.

3) There could be a air leak in your intake piping somewhere?

1 - you are definately running too rich at that RPM due to your increase in boost. The standard ECU does this. Subsequently, timing is pulled when your car runs this rich and you will get that dreaded flat spot / misfire from ~4000rpm up to ~6000 rpm. 6000rpm - 7000rpm it feels fine, doesn't it?

(search for: misfire boost SAFC hesitation)

2 - You could have some small cracks in your coil packs, causing your spark to jump around there. This ma or MAY NOT be a problem for you...

see this thread for the solution.

The first has been covered HEAPS, as just about every R33 driver has experienced this at some stage, so you should find lots of info...

You will definately need some sort of aftermarket management - PFC OR a piggy back to correct your A/F ratios - SAFC. These 2 are the most common choices, I went for the SAFC as I could not afford the combined price of a PFC and tuning that went along with it. The SAFC II (with installation and tuning) cost about $600 - $650 all up and fixed the problem for me.

  • 1 year later...

Go the fc...

I found the SAFC to do the job however the difference inbetween price/effort and outcome. The fc does it everytime.

I mean its worth saving the bickies to go the fc for future mods and cost saving in fuel has paid the difference within 6 months...

another vote for the powerFC.

If you decrease your boost to 11psi, and make sure it doesn't go any higher with with spikes etc, the standard ecu will run great.

BUt yeah, I have a powerc, and I'm running a brilliant tune.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
