My mate was out test driving an R33 Series1 Skyline and giving a little bit to see how it went but when it got to 6grand the car cut out and the revs would drop untill he took his foot completely off the throttle and then back on again... It did this everytime, he left his foot on it one time and the car droped to about 3,500rpm and was still droping... The car was completely stock and just imported, it had bout 80,000km on it. Any idea whats causing this would be helpful.

the car would not have had much driving since delivered to aus and even then you wouldnt know how long it was just sitting in japan.

the element in the afm might be dirty

could be anything

but if he hasnt bought it tell him to just look for another, its not worth the trouble to buy a new used car and then have to fix it.......

well the standard vacume/boost gauge was at 7 but thats as far as the gauge went so it could of been running higher boost without showing it, however the car didnt feel very quick, i mean its the only skyline i been in but it was only about as quick as my commodore 5ltr which is all standard and i figure if boost was up a skyline should easily be quicker... but then im not in a possition to really know... he hasnt bought it and yeah he is looking for another... I just found it odd!

when u say the standard guage goes up to 7+ if this is true that is around 14 psi

the standard guage doesnt read in psi,if it is hitting 7+ your running a little too much boost and probably hitting boost or feul limit

does it have a boost controller?

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
