hi all

purchased my r33 gtst around 6mths ago, coupla mths later fitted 3" mandrel bent exhaust wit hiflow cat and cannon. ever since engine has been running very rich in fuel consumption :huh: and performance in pick up is "choking" so to speak whilst under heavier accelaration :) . i have spoken to a few people about this, and done the following, i have put standard BOV back on. replaced oxygen sensor in exhaust as this was not working to start!!! and had a fairly good check on vaccuum lines for air leaks etc. please help as fuel is not getting any cheaper :( ???????????????

when you say choking do you mean miss fire? Check your coil packs

thought maybe that but when i purchased the vehicle there was a coil pack gone and had to take it back to get that done.

know what that feels like under acceleration and this just doesn't seem quiet as bad as the "miss" or "choke" that provided???

thanks for reply anything else?

Super Air Flow Controller, can lean up your engine a bit to stop it running rich. Your standard ECU might not like the extra boost and go into Rich And Retard mode.

i'm not running any extra boost don't have any boost control parts just all standard been reading other threads about similar issues and some have said plugs. put new twin spark plugs in when originally purchased at time or coilpack replacement.

i have also been told there might be a slight air leak in one of the vaccuum lines???? cause more fuel to be pumped , more air???

unneccessarily!!

    • 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.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
