i have a r33 with some basic mods pod, fmic, t3/t4 hiflow turbo, 3'' turbo back ex, safc, hks cam gears.. and before i took it in to get the safc and cam gears fited and tuned (also an intercooler pipe leak fixed) the car ran smooth all the way through the rev range, now ocasionly i have noticed towards the top end of the revs when nailing it, i get a flat spot (feels & sounds like when the revlimiter is activated) but its coming on sooner then reline, i was thinking maybe because i have stock fuel pump and injecters that with the tuning the car got it's struggling to suply the fuel at times at the top end when its reall goin hard.. any help would be apresh

Be careful bloke. One of the quickest ways of killing an engine is to run it lean at full noise. If you think this is the problem get it to a dyno & check the AFR. Should be in the 11 to 12:1 range. Any more than this & you can easily kill your motor.

yeah i only just got it tuned on the dyno, im gettin a wolf ecu within the next week or so, but i might up the fuel pump be i put that in to ensure im not starving it of fuel. will the stock injectors need replacing what hp are they good up to..

IF you have the dyno sheet it should have the AFR graphed. This will tell you if it is a problem or not.

Not sure what the max hp on stock injectors is. Best not to run them at 100% anyway. If needed you can either go to a larger injector (still on standard pump) or run a bigger pump at higher pressure (ie new pump & regulator) or if you want to go the whole hog all three.

You're fuel pump is on its way out mate. Get it replaced asap, shouldn't have to say how bad it is not to have any fuel going into your engine.

Re: Injectors, it depends on how your injectors are. See if you can borrow a consult or find some other way of seeing what duty cycle they're running. Ideally 85-90% is what you'd like to run although 100% is fine too - theres just no chance of adding more fuel if your car needed it.

has anyone els had this problem?or does this sound familure to anyone, just wana get to the bottom of it, sure im gettin a new fuel pump (bosch 040) in 2 weeks then the wolf put in and tuned all up again.. but i just wana hear if this sounds familur to anyone

also new injectors can wait a few months so will all i need is a pump or do i need a regulator aswell? can someone explain it all, thanks again guys

map sensor replaces the stock air flow meter and uses guesswork to work out how much air is coming into the system. airflow meter measures all the air coming into the system via its hotwire setup.

lots of people believe its a restriction but it wont be. its harder to tune with a map sensor and it wont be anywhere near as accurate or good compared to an airflow meter setup. do you have rb20 or 25?

i got a rb25... i am goin with the wolf though as i got a good price and my tuner i take it to told me to go the wolf, and i heard nothin but really good coments about the tuner the ocasional cold start problem but can be sorted out easy enought, really more worries about this flat spot and fixing it

    • And the full R32 GTR wiring diagrams are also freely available. Hmm.... there's supposed to be an auto replace that would have linked the thread. Here it is, manually  
    • Ahh...should have been clearer ~ there's 2 ... SMJ = super multi junction (connector)...   ...this is connector 6 & 25 in above image -- body harness to engine loom (6) & body harness to main loom (25) Headlights go to front via connector 6 ; fuel gauge goes to tank sender via connector 25  ...like I say this is R33 diagrams, but at a pinch R34 won't be too far different. *IF* the two ground faults are related, this can be the only place where both wires converge (as one runs to the back, the other to the front)... ....thing is, you probably need to establish if the faults are related (unless you examine that area and find obvious chaffing on the looms there to body ground)....*IF* the fuel gauge is still broken (full needle deflection), I'd be headed for the boot, remove fuel sender wire, key on and measure the voltage there ~ it should be roughly 10volts. If that's ok, check sender to ground resistance...if this is a dead short to ground (and there's fuel in it), then sender has failed or something funky has happened to wiring in the tank. edit: ahh...rereading the thread, this is R32....above fuel sender test still valid tho'
    • I just changed the timing belt on my RB25DET NEO and wanted to get some opinions. I’ve been super cautious, did a lot of research, and took my time. I’ve driven the car, and it runs fine. After warming it up, I revved it to 8000 RPM a few times—no issues, everything held up.   After the drive, I heard a noise that I think is either the clutch or possibly a tight accessory belt. It’s not constant, just comes and goes.   I took the timing cover off to double-check everything:   Belt is on properly, Tensioner is tight, Did the 90-degree twist test—belt isn’t too tight or too loose.     What still worries me is that I noticed the belt seems to sit a little toward the front edge of the gears, especially on the idler pulley. It even looks like it’s slightly coming off the edge there. Is that normal?   My old belt (5 years old, ~3,000 miles) also showed a bit of wear on that same edge, so maybe it’s just how it sits? I’m probably overthinking this, but since it’s my first time doing this on a NEO and the engine is forged, I really don’t want to mess anything up.   Also, I’m thinking of swapping to a clear front timing cover with the glass window. Would you recommend NITO or HPI? HPI looks reputable and their covers have 2.5mm thickness, but not sure if there’s a real difference between the two.   Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated!
    • 40 grit sounds about right, to start. You make some decent cuts/damage in the coating with that, then rapdily scale up to maybe 80 and 120 for the bulk of the actual removal, then fine it off to 180 or 240 perhaps. No need to go any finer than that, and maybe no need to go even as fine as that. Wrap it on a big block and have at it. At least on the hub face.
    • Do the GKTech rear lower control arm mount relocation, and either alloy subframe inserts or very stiff subframe bushes. Traction is going to be at a premium!
