Hey guys, I Have a 93 R33 Gts-t Auto

I was wondering if someone could help me with my issue:

Part 1:

I'm ok with my car stuff but this has totally stumped me! I was driving on to the freeway and started to put the foot down when i felt the boost cut come in, but not like usual, not as sudden but more linear if that makes sense....the problem here is that i have set my boost so that i dont ever get boost cut even on cold days!

Part 2:

So i started to keep it at 90ish km/h when the hicas light came on. I pulled over and restarted the engine and the hicas light turned off, now this is when all hell broke lose!

Part 3:

All of a sudden the car started to sound like a big chevy v8 / or sort of like a Wrx. At low revs the inside of the car rumbles and shakes pretty bad and the power seems to be gone...although the boost seems to be still there. The runs like crap now and sounds or feels nothing like my old car! its very rough but the engine itself seems fine, oil is fine, it seems to be from the exhuast but the exhuast seems fine from the outside too. I dont know what it is, i want to get an idea of what can be wrong b4 i give it to someone to have a look at it! the car almost feels and sounds like its running on 4 pistons or something,...but as i said the engine itself seems fine and sounds normal....but the exhuast note is very different.

i dont know if the turbo has gone and is blocking my cat or something, but then again i didnt see a big cloud of smoke and even now i got a mate to have a look and theirs no heavy smoke at all and i still seem to get boost if i put my foot down (but i hvant dont it as much for obvious reason)

I also found that once the car cools and i restart the car, it seems all fine again for about a minute and once i put the footdown even a little bit it comes back again! aghhh its driving me crazy!

PLZ HELP! any feedback is most welcome!

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
