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

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
