hey guys

recently my car has been acting a little funny, I had my car tunned a few months back with a gt3071 740cc power fc etc ec, then decided to rebuild after the tune (stupid i know) this consisted of a port job different compression forges etc etc. Now to the problem, after the engine was rebuild it was sweet never missed a beat sometimes it use to stall if you were in 4th and chucked it in netural but after about 4000kms the car totally changed. I get very bad idle hunt most of the time when i hit the lights ranging from 300 (about to stall) to 1500. and it takes a a good minute to find its true idle. Also now and then the car gets a slight miss just on normal driving and sometimes when you get up it in 1st gear it misses abit.

Ive hardly ever got up it since the rebuild as i want to get it tunned once i get new cams and gears, but these problems are worrying me, any advice would be most appreciated.. This is on a sr20det by the way..

thank you

Theres the issue right there. Maybe u snapped a swing.. sorry "rocker" Maybe the tractor timing chain rattled itself off hahaha *chuckles* jk - cant help myself

Start with cleaning your idle control valve, and removing your atmo bov if present, till you can tune around it.

EDIT You've done 4000kms and haven't loaded it yet? Who suggested that run in program - Hrrrrmmk

Nice 4/5 in your avatar :yes:

Definately dont go throught MAtt Spry but I do know that big AFM's on SR's can cause reversion issues.

The ICV isn't going to cause a missfire.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
