Hey all,

The other week dad put a new battery in my car. Since then, alot of problems have come up. It's an R32 GTS with an RB20DE btw.

If the car goes over 100km/h, it does that beeping. Now I'm not sure if that is meant to happen or not, but i know on alot of drift movies and stuff I've seen it happens to them too. Just wondering if it just requires the ECU to be tweaked to allow it to go over?

Also, my major problem......

When we first got the car it was fine. But ever since the new battery, when first start my car up and go for a drive it chugs for a while. Almost like kanagaroo hopping. After a while it goes away, probably because the engine is now warmed up. What i don't get though is that it never used to do this. It has only done it since the new battery has gone on :D

Any help would be appreciated asap, as i get my P's tomorrow lol.

oh... dear... god...

either way, it doesnt sound like a battery problem at all... the only real problem with batteries are

FLAT: it wouldn't start if it was

BAD CONNECTION: might be it, check your connections, but i doubt it

SURGE: your new battery might have let out a bit too much power at one point and fried some shit...

all highly doubtful...

your ECU, unless f**ked, doesnt need anything... try a different battery and see if that fixes it... probably your best route of attack...

when i was your age, i had a 1978 honda prelude... had been on this earth twice as long as me...

Thanx for the help DRD.

The chugging has now seemed to stop, but.......

Instead of chugging, every now and then the engine loses power. Like I'll be driving along then it was basically just stop revving and role along, then eventually it'll kick back in. It's strange......

Any help on this aswell? lol

i would say its time to start taking care of that car...

it needs a service... sounds like your coilpacks might be rooted... but it also sounds like you picked this car up for cheap...

take it to someone who knows about them and get them to have a look at it... its gunna cost you money no matter what you do, but this is probably the best thing to do...

      Hey, it's me! Though honestly, if I had 20M in my bank account tomorrow, I would not want to be rid of my car all of the sudden - Which makes me think this is money stuff, not "I actually hate car" stuff. I'd probably double down and buy even more trinkets and fun things for it. If this is not you, then sell it cheaper. It will sell at a certain price after all.

      Of course it would be - But you shouldn't be here.

      This is the LCA mount reloctaion kit. Self explanatory in its description. https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=62&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c These are the alloy subframe bush inserts that I am using. I like them. https://au.gktech.com/products/rear-subframe-slip-in-collars?_pos=29&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c Alternatively, if you have original and shitty bushes, you might consider outright replacement with poly. https://au.gktech.com/products/polyurethane-rear-subframe-bushes?_pos=28&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c I would also higly recommend that you look into adjustable RUCAs and tension rods, so you can sort out the camber and bump steer behaviour, especially if the car will be any more than ~15mm lower than stock. I would also highly recommend the GKTech FUCAs, although you really should do some research and learning on the subjetc of R32 FUCAs before making any decisions. All of this will be criticaly difficult to get through a TÜV inspection too, if that happens to be relevant to you. Note that if you do install the relocation kit, you will absolutely have to replace the associated bushes with spherical joints (you can read all about that on the product page) or upgrade the LCAs also.

      Does the r33 have a cabin filter?

      None on 33s.

      I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.
