on the driver side in the engine bay, look for a vaccum which is leading to a small box its at the far back at the firewall you shud be able to see it easily. check to see that the vaccum is not cracked or is in properly.

mine stopped cuz it came out lol

My car has just done this aswell... It is a stock series 1 Gtst33 though... it will move about 2mm from -7, thats all!

But the car still runs fine and boost seems to come on fine so i gathered it would be electrical...

check to see that the vaccum is not cracked or is in properly

Would this mean the car wouldnt run as good/hard? Cause as i said mines running like always has.

Well i checked it out and it's connected there fine( near the firewall) the only problem i'm having is that it's not connected at the other end the hose looks like it goes to the back of the engine so does any one know exactly where it goes??

does this mean I'm losing power because there is a vacume leak??

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
