Whats happenen people...

Ok. I got a R33 GTST and its starten to act a lil wierd. If you go to accelerate at a standard rate its fine aslong as you dont floor it but if you do floor it the egines jumps bout 2-3000 rpm and revs like hell n thjen goes.It does it when you go to give it a bit while your cruizing.It use to be minor but now it happens a fair bit.I'm thinken it's the clutch but my bro reckons it's turbo lag or a vacuum leak.He has never had a performance car so I don't tend to trust him on everythen so im after a second opinion.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

if its the standard clutch its toast, it will free rev and skip from like 2600rpm odd to 3500rpm ish. the torque increase as boost builds makes it slip. time for a new heavy duty clutch

Certainly sounds like the stock clutch is slipping under load. There's a group buy on here from C & B who does Exedy HD kits, I bought one but never fitted it before I sold the car but the price and service was excellent and would suit your application. It's important to confirm that this is the case though before you go throwing money at it, when it's revving away is it actually moving any faster or is it simply revving a lot but not making much more forward momentum? So if you're doing say 50 in second and plant it does it simply rev up but not add much speed? This would indicate a failing clutch.

Good luck.

    • Cheers. I more want it quieter with the varex open. I only have the varex closed when i start up and roll out the driveway to keep everyone happy on days i take the car to work at 5 AM or come home late. So just a mod muffler will do tge trick? Something like that would require a retune hey?
    • I was going to say generally speaking if it's like 80k+ miles since the valve cover has been replaced you don't even attempt to just replace the gasket. The valve cover itself will likely be warped and it will continue to leak after replacement, just not as severely. The valve cover PCV diaphragm can also tear and create a major vacuum leak. Welcome to BMW life. My friend's 2006 330i was t-boned and totaled out so he also just got a 335i so I can add to this thread now.
    • Hi all, For my '98 260rs... The odometer LCD occasionally turns blank or gives me only the bottom half or top half of the numbers. It's intermittent, which leaves me to believe it's a dead solder or loose wire somewhere. The odometer itself works. When the screen comes back, kms have been added to the trip and overall meters. A couple questions: Is this a known issue with the Stagea? I didn't see it pop up in my quick search, but that could be my searching skills. How accessible is the LCD screen in the cluster? I'm hoping it's a remove and replace type situation versus cracking open the whole housing. I'm hoping you all can narrow some of my initial troubleshooting. Any experience or opinions would be helpful.  
    • Yeah. Seeing the finish line must be quite the motivation. Good on you for sticking with it. Understood about the model choice. Also, totally get the challenge with sourcing parts. Based on your handle, I'm just a few hours south of you. All the little things I've bought so far come with $30 shipping, even if it's just stickers for the boot!
    • Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)
