Hey guys,

Today i went to get my car fixed. ( it was jurking and loseing power when i go over 5,000rpm).

I thought it would be my coilpacks, but they changed the coilpacks and it was still doing it.

So now they think it is my fuel pump.

They also think i had a boost leak so they bloked the BOV to fix it but now when i break hard the car stalls and it gives me the sh*ts.

Does all this sound right to you guys what i am thinking is thease people dont no whats going on.

What are your thoughts on this?

Thankyou for your help.

if u got a boost leak then blocking the bov isnt the solution. unblock it, check all your fmic connections and also check your aac valve.

could also be afm and a number of other issues. if u want a hand to check it out, bring it round mine on the weekend and ill have a look at it.

also wat mods do u have to the car? ecu? anything other than fmic? have you increased boost at all on a std comp? they dont like that?

Sorry to hear that you car is playing up... if you've brought it to a mechanic and they still can't properly determine what's wrong with your car - like the others have suggested, go to another mechanic who can. From what you've indicated - if they keep saying "we think this, we think that..." in the end it will cost you an arm and a leg... bring it to someone that can help you...

My R33 (series 2) has a similar problem, (mine is still stock)

for me it was the coil pack coz i taped them up with some duct tape and seemed to have fixed it temporarily,

but now and again it does it but so i should just buy new ones.

Well when you get it looked at by a mechanic can you tell me what the problem was and how they fixed it and how much it cost,

just in case when I change my coil packs and it still has the problem so I can fix it

Cheers

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

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

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
