could be exhaust gasket too.

+1

Mine was tapping like a motherf**ker after a track day at Eastern Creek. Tapping increased with revs too (louder and faster). Only slight loss in power. Wouldn't boost as much either.

Blew out all the exhaust gaskets: engine to manifold, manifold to turbo, turbo to gate, turbo to dump.

Had all gaskets replaced with steel ones and all was good again.

Fingers crossed this is what the problem is with yours miss.

Awwwww thanks guys....

Bout to start stripping it down... unfortunately it sounds like its spun a big end.. :D At least it will be rebuilt by the time the rest of the car gets back from the panel shop... and I didn't have to rush getting my engineers report finished today!

After I take the seized the turbo off the zed ready to pop chris's spare 25 stocko on tomoz (fanks darling) anyhoo...

Ed... hell no ... il bring a recording of it with me... stalled 50% of the time getting it home last night... still got oil pressure though... haha.

p.s ... definitely an internal sound and still makes boost!

p.p.s... RB26 is still an option but in another car :) ... il be rebuilding this and selling it.... so all u vultures trying to part out my car (greg) you will just have to buy the whole thing!

Atleast both cars are hidden away now so nothing can hurt them... but the big Drop Spiders!

I think Timmy J drinking time, panties and lounge room dancing are in order!

:):3some::)

It did happen a bit like that on that fateful night!! bwahahahahahahaha

If its a motor out job im happy to swing past and lend a pretty useless hand

I make a mess easily, and will probably just sit around and get drunk

Come on, its the thought that counts

Excellent, lucky those crownies are still here!!

Motor is coming out so I can send the car off to have its ass fixed :D , least I know my cousins wont be flogging it... just pushing it round :laugh:

OMG Anna, it seems to be never-ending for you.

Sell black cars (both of them), buy Stagea!

If I sell teh zed... Liz wil kill me.. Im scared of Liz! 33 is defintely going.... but not for a Stagea... I refuse to have 4 doors!!! Sooooooorry!

Yeah, I can understand the being scared of Liz thing.

Stagea has 5 doors, in theory, so you're safe.

^^^ yep... so do I part it out or fix it and sell it???

If I fix it il be tempted to keep it, if I sell it ... it will behave for the new owner and il be p1ssed!

That's the million dollar question.

When do you cut your losses :D

Didnt you have a built RB25 sitting at your dads Tafe waiting to be fitted to the R33 Anna??

Sorry to hear about it dieing, I know exactly how you feel!!

I have a built SR20.. and yes there was a 25 but i sold it to cover costs in other areas of finishing of teh 33. In hind sight I prolly should of sold the sr20.... but meh.

Sorry to hear its gone to god. Been there done that with the bad luck thing. Smoky gave me the heads up. Look just use his parts and do a 3lt for your 33 he aint gonna use em for a while anyway ! ! !

awww.. anna..

I dont knwo you..

but I knwo how hard it is to have an engine that just wont work as it should!!!!

Its so dis-heartening..

Know that by the end of it its all gonna be worth it..

Its worse if you do all the work yourself.. you cringe at the end effort that must go in.. the hours spent.. and the late nights wasted.. but when its back.. and everything is ok.. it makes you smile to the worlds end..

Chin up.. It will get there.. promis

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
