hey guys, my r33 has got some problems i need to fix asap, firstly, sometimes when i start it, it seems as if there is a boost leak or sumthing, it doesnt stay on, just turns on and off??so i drive it revving abit?...then sometimes it just gets better and runs normal??..ill check that up 2morrow tho...2ndly, the car makes heaps of popping noise (backfires) when you let go of the accelerator and slow down, it pops like 15 times (pop, pop, pop,.....15 times)...it's real loud and scares people next to me, (i hope i dont get a cop next to me!!)...also finally, the car feels like its lacking boost slightly when taking off in first gear (really little, not that much of a problem but thought id state it anyways) and gets better in 2nd and so on...so guys??...sorry for being so messy, its coz im in a hurry trying to find out the problems..

also, im really sorry if any of these things have been spoken about before, im just in a hurry to fix these things

cheers guys

i'd be checking for boost leaks... that would cause backfiring as it'll be running rich,

is the car revving up and sown on idle then stalling out???

If so look up the TUTE on cleaning the AAC valve and adjusting idle... should fix it...

hey, how wud u suggest i check the boost leaks??

go around and nip up all your hose clamps, see if you can hear anything... check all your lines coming off your plenum, make sure they are still attached...

If it's a big enough leak you might be able to feel it... also check your BOV... disconnect the rubber plumb back hose and put your hand over the outlet of the BOV as it is building PSI...

i still have'nt fixed this problem yet, when the car runs low on the fuel, the backfiring (popping) seems to slightly get better (it only pops on gear change), and also the stalling problem gets better. when i refill it with fuel (BP Ultimate and 98 Vortex), until the fuel gets low, i gotta deal with loud popping and stalling problems :) i tried the TUTE on cleaning the aac, it helped, but no so much.

any help would be greatly appreciated

cheers

AFM problem would be idling below 500rpm but the engine won't die. That what happened to me. My mechanic used some AFM spray , i don't know what it was and it was ok. Now idling is around 800rpm (from stock odometer) which is back to stock. No problems since.

contact cleaner to clean the hotwire

try it - also try disconnecting the AFM - if the rev dont change it might suggest the contact points within the AFM are broken/not 100% - you could test another persons AFM if available

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
