Hi Guys Was driving to work today in my R33 GTST, drove fine for a while (probably 10-15 minutes) I wasnt really driving too hard. When I got close to work when ever the car would hit boost it would hold it for a couple of seconds then would kind of jolt and drop the boost then kinda come back and go again. I've had a look around on google and talked to a few mates and all of that points to a boost leak somewhere. It drives fine when its not boosting but as soon as it gets into boost it plays up. Not very good when your driving up a hill Anyways what do you think it could be? and if its a boost leak, what are the areas it will most likely be in that I should check first? Thanks in advance, Dan

So the series 1 has a metal comp wheel?? If so does this mean that it would be better to run more boost on? As it would be stronger??

was coming out of the front part of the engine at the bottom and the mechanic that was around said it was a water pump. why's that?

I left it at my mates place in Ulverstone and i got a mechanic over there to work on it for me as I live and work in Burnie. I'v got a new thermostat and the water pump should get here today so hopefully I haven't done any other damage. I'll let you guys know how I go. Thanks for the advice!

Awesome thanks! ill check it out

Hi Guys yesterday i was driving to my mates ( a good hour of driving to his place) when i got into town my car just shut off and i had to roll it to the side of the road. Once i was on the side of the road i tried to start and it wouldnt go, sounded like the battory was dying so anyway I checked under the engine, was warm but still had coolant in the tank thing and had enough oil so i didnt really think anything of it, i ended up leaving it for 5 and it started thought ill just take it to my mates place and drive like a grandma. so i took it to his place and it stopped just on the corner from his place. so i got my mate and a few other guys that were around to push it to his place. We had a bit of a look and let it cool down. When we looked after it cooled down abit, we noticed that there was only air in the radiator (Which i know is definatly a bit thing) we got the hose and tried to fill the radiator and were going to see what happened from there. then we noticed the water was just coming straight back out. There was a mechanic there at the time and he said its a stuffed water pump and i will need a new one. Basically I know something will be damaged probably the head or something, What I want to know is what do you guys reckon will be damaged and also what are some ways I can check/test or even signs to look out for while im driving it. Oh and the temp gauge had been playing up so I didnt really notice it heat up. And Yes I had been checking Oil and water regularly - Thought the coolant was fine as it hadnt moved in that tank on the side so i wouldnt have noticed. and Iv never seen anything leaking/any wet patches under it. Thanks Heaps Dan

I wouldn't be able to do that myself - never done anything like that before lol Ah yea sweet. reckon that will just bolt straight on?

Hi Guys I have a leaky turbo in my r33 and was wondering where to get a new one from in Tassie? I would rather get something like an r34 turbo that would bolt straight on as from what i'v heard the R33 Ceramic turbos are crap and break easily. also wheres the best/cheapest place to get it fitted?

Haha yea got it today! What track days that? Haha
