Took my auto r33 gtst for a wash tonight (all hail car lovers), nd then was just drivin around to let it dry... anyway when it dried a little i started to drive it a bit harder nd it was kindah struggling comming on load, like could feel the seat shudder as it was building speed (like it wanted to and kept trying but just couldnt get the smooth acceleration) and could hear this BPOO BPOO commin from the muffler every now and then not a load explosion just not normal sound :no:

whats the go?? any ideas?

On second thoughts i dont think it was the air filter... its the standard air box nd its pretty far back under the hood, water couldntve reached it i only washed the body. It was driving a lil better today :\ but still, when i feel it struggle i just ease off the gas till it catches up with itself if that makes sense lol... iunno.. ill get it tuned when i upgrade the intercooler nd boost...

if you washed in the engine bay its just water, should clear up shortly. Most like water mucking around with a sensor or water in the coilpacks causing it to ark out.

My bro did this to his skiz, went a bit "crazy" with car lovers hi-pressure hose in the engine bay and it was running on like 4-5 cylinder for a day or two haha, dumbass. Anyhoo once he took it for a decent drive and let everything dry it went back to normal as all is sweet.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
