Hi guys,

As the title says im having some trouble with my 33 and have been for some time now.

When i was out one nite i decided to give it a bit of a fang, lit the tyres up bounced off the limiter n then lost total power.

After that the car would not idle at all, when i was slowing down and coming to a stop it just wanted to die. Also it blows heaps of blue smoke now (not 100% certain on colour but will update you all tomorrow in the light),

Well i thought it was turbo, so i pulled it out and had a look at it. Compressor wheels look fine, no dints no shaft play ncie n tight. Dump pipe, front pipe, intercooler the lot.

Then i went back and fitted everything back in, making double sure everything was connected properly especially all the hoses/pipes, also replaced dump/front pipe with BATMbl's 3" splitter, cleaned sensor screwed in dump pipe (o2 sensor?), also looked at afm (z32) n looks nice n clean.

Fired her up, idles nicely now at 1000rpm or there abouts, but still blows heaps of smoke.

I have as of tonite put in the power fc but wasnt able to start her up caus its got no bloody oil, so ill wait til tomorrow to see if this may fix it

Any idea what the problem is/could be?

Cheers in advance

Shane

I plugged in the pfc and took some fuel out and now doesnt blow any smoke, but idles like u wouldnt believe, shudders like a mofo and wont rev passed 4000rpm

so its off to mercury motorsport on tuesday to see whats the problem

Well got it back from mercury yesterday.

They had a look at everything and said the problem was that the spark plugs were only done up finger tight and there was heaps of carbon build up on them.

So they replaced them and tuned my power fc and they said it was running heaaaaps rich, now she runs nice as and dynod up at 180.2 rwkw :)

Thanks for all the help guys :P

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
