It seems like it is running on 5 cyl. I took off the cover, and tested the plugs one by one. The coil closest to the windscreen appeared to make no change in the engine sound. I replaced it with the coil at the front of the car and the same thing happened to that cyl but not the previous one. SO i guess the coil is bollocksed? What do i do now, just get a coil to replace it? I dont want to buy a whole set of splitfires

ill give that a go after uni today in the arvo so i basically have to do the following: remove the pipes that are in the way undo and remove the black cover re-connect all the pipes start car disconnect 1 coil at a time, listening for a change in engine sound if i find one that makes no change in engine sound, stop the car, swap it with another coil and see if the new cylinder is failing?

i checked for exhaust leaks with soapy water on the flanges under the car, everything seems airtight. guess im just gonna have to savea couple pay checks and take it somewhere good, im not really the mechanic-type as much as i'd like to be.

you can tell it sounds different on idle, so it isnt just driving (even though its more pronounced when driving/reving)

If thats the case i dont think i can check anything out myself. Would i be doing any damage if i drove it to a workshop? One last thing, when we took the plugs out they were black as a motherbollockser, im using ngk iridiums. Carefully cleaned them before regapping to .8 and putting them back in. Car still pops though.

everything should be plugged in properly, the coilpacks looked fine too (no cracks etc) we also didnt touch the coils/plugs until after the problem started, is it just a oincidence that it may have decided to shit itself then?

I got my r33 in june of last year, thought it was working sweet after getting it checked by a emchanic before buying it. Seems like it was the biggets mistake of my life because it just doesnt run properly and everything i do ends up solving one problem but creating another. Nothing has gone my way with this car i must be cursed or something. For reference the car is a 1996 s2 r33 gtst. Only mods are apexi pod and just recently a trust pe2 catback. Yesterday a mate and I adjusted 2 exhaust hangers to get the exhaust sitting in a better position since the lip on the mid muffler was hitting the tailshaft (not often at all, but often enough to warrant the adjustment). Anyway after doing that we took it for a test drive and it was fine, i got back to my house and i started to hear a very high pitched whine, kinda quiet but noticeable. The car then started running "lumpy". For lack of a better term, ill just say it kinda sounds like a rexy when i rev it a little. Not good at all. The car shakes, feels and sounds really lumpy. We then checked the plugs (which are like 4-5months old), regapped them to 0.8 from the previous 1.1mm because it was popping alot but nothing changed. Still sounds rough. I REALLY wanted to do everything myself or with a mate to save money cant afford a good workshop right now. However if i or anyone else cant work it out i may just have to save a little and get it checked out. Any ideas?

Justice Goodluck with that drdoof thats a really terrible situation to bein. Hope everything works out ok

trust pwer extreme II

is the $700 bov really necessary? id figure a clutch would be better allocation of funds assuming its manual i guess. and if it isnt manual i probably wouldnt spend money on a bov either

bump still for sale price lowered to 250

What's legal and what isnt regarding gauge mounting? i'll probably buy a boost gauge soon, dont think id get any others for now but i was just wondering, what was allowed and what wasnt as far as mounting a gauge goes.

i have the same problem, except i drive a gtst witha catback exhaust. My next mod upgrade is the front pipe and cat, i was probably going to go with a http://bosimporting.com.au/index.php?page=...t&Itemid=27 and the batmbl split dump. Should i go with that cat or get soemthing more expensive? Street use only.

Promotion was SHIT for this, barely anyone knew tickets were being released this morning. Got tix for the second show, hope its ok.

gtr style rear pods right? i think i might get some as an alternative to changing the whole rear bar

thats not a price post one please

autobarn sells them for around 800 700 is a great price id snap it up in a second if i didnt just get one like 3 weeks ago haha, great sounding exhaust

nvm

very interested, sent a pm

Hmm, now that you mention it join in the middle section of the exhaust didnt have circle holes for the bolts they were oval. I had a closer look at the flange and it might be 1 or 1.5mm out. The cat section looked ok, but then again they were circle holes if i remember corectly so i doubt it wouldve been out any. Will put the car on ramps again tomorrow, loosen the bolts and try to align it differently. Also got a couple of new hanger mounts to try out.

only unbolted one of the rubber hangers, which happens to be the one you can see in the pic. The other ones didnt unbolt, but we took them off to get everything off the stock muffler easier. Im pretty sure we idnt mix them up, but i dunno. That hanger pictured is a little stretched, i might just try replace them all with new universal rubbers. Otherwise if that doesnt work, its bending time. other than that tho, the exhaust sounds nice

couple of the rubber hangers are a little saggy too, ill just buy some new stiffer ones tomorrow or something

I left it high res so you can really see everything. I circled the little bit that taps. There is about 5mm clearance, however the exhaust is able to move when you apply a bit of force. Very noticeable when you change gears and the car is moving.

everything bolts up fine it looks good, its just that you can wiggle the end a little more than you should be able to. ill take a pic

thats what im afraid of, i wanted to stay way from an exhaust shop fitting because i dont have much money. Looks like i might have to get them to manipulate the hangers for me.
