R32 Gtst Running Weaker

[WAN73D]

hey everyone.

R32 GTST 1990

Was driving home last night with the usual semi-enthusiastic driving we all like to do. Turned a corner and the car just didnt feel the same acceleration wise. Also going up hills in say 3rd or 4th it will rev to say 2K or 3K and just sorta not want to go past this. Out of first and second it will rev out ok but a lil bit slower then usual.

The stock turbo gauge indicates that it can get full pressure...so i dun think it's turbo

the car also sounds exactly how it should (perfect note) at idle.

such a wierd thing...i turn the corner and power is now only 2/3 of what it should be and up hills can only make it to a certain limit.

I have done my searches and most people seem to report power losses ABOVE a certain higher range (say 5K) mine seems to be just in general not that great a much power as before

I'm thinkin fuel pmup, or piping, or coil packs as per the suggestions in other threads

just wanna know if anyone experienced this problem and what was the resolution??

any help would be great!

sorry...

forgot to say that is pretty much stock except for cat back exhaust and pod filter and some crazy dark black tinted windows (hehe)

[WAN73D]

checked piping dun think that's the prob

Also. just went out and revved it in neutral....actually sounds very nice. all the way up the rev range (say to 6K) with blow off at the end so it seems to be only struggling under load (in gear).

im gonna guess clutch... although i have been wrong in the past

[WAN73D]

fair enough guess i must admit...but....the clutch was put in like a yr n half ago so not likely.

i think it actually MAY have been bad bit of fuel and or sparkies gettin old...cos it was ok to drive today...very odd tho

hey i seem 2 have a problem similiar 2 yours

in second or third wen i flat foot it the car seems 2 jerk at times. feels like its struggling.

must add that it doesnt happen all the time.

its standard apart from cat back exhaust, pod and bov. Car seems fine otherwise.

Had feed back, and there suggesting it could be either:

-fuel pump

-engine coils

spark plugs

Hope that helps

hey mate

yeh i thought it could be one of those

there's no real problem at the moment hence i reckon its bad fuel or sparkies lil bit old

with ur car jerking i'd say could be fuel pump.

my mate recently changed his fuel pump in a 200sx and said it was jerking before he changed it.

Just a lil bit of feed back...i dont want to tell u to change anything cos i'm obv not the mechanic.

cheers

yeah sounds like a slipping clutch to me.. will it stall if u leave it in first, hold the brakes a bit and drop the clutch slowly?
