hey guys, if u culd give me a few pointers on the stock turbos on the r33 '95 model' gts-t.

well the trouble is 4 starters i don't kno anything bout these things, so i dunno if it's alright or not.

well anyways i'v had it since yesterday, an well in 3rd gear u can hear the turbo going, but im not getting all that much power from it,

it just sounds like a big old school fan blowing really hard. lol

an i noticed 2night when in 2nd, i hit bout 3rpm, an then it just magically jumps up2 3.5rpm

then up 2 4rpm.

an the same in 3rd.

should i be worried????????????

HELP. lol

Yeah I'd be guessing clutch slip too.

The first thing I'd be doing is taking it to a mechanic to get it checked over - they might pick up other things that need attention too, and could save you money further down the track. There are plenty around but as with anything, there are good ones and not-so-good ones.

Are you in Brisbane, or elsewhere in Qld?

mmk, had a new clutch put in, (it took ages)

anyways after driving from stafford 2 caboolture on the m1, it was all fine till i got 2 the suburbs,

then the tacho started playing up again in 2nd.

i took it 4 a drive up mt mee 2day 2 see if it was slipping but the tacho wouldn't do it?

maybe it is just a dodgy tacho?

any pointers

Does the engine change revs (ie does it sound like the revs match the tacho?) or is the tacho just doing its own thing? If it sounds like the engine is revving when the tacho says it is, it's most likely not a problem with the tacho.

Try this. Out on the highway, drop to 90km/h or so. Put it in 4th and nail it. If the engine picks up a heap of revs (ignore the tacho, you should be able to hear the engine) you most likely have clutch problems. If it doesn't slip, you either have something else wrong, or nothing's wrong and you're just worried about your baby :wave:

If you're really worried about it, I live on the north side of Brissy and I'm happy to come for a drive with you. I'm no expert but I'm happy to look at it?

that would be nice if u could come check it out,

the tacho does it's own thing, i can hear the turbo more then i can hear the rev's of the engine.

but like i said b4 it done it last night but not this morning? whats up with that..?

maybe ur right an i am just paranoid..

Water pump seal? Didn't even know it was busted! But yeah water pump issues can be evil, if it's a decent leak don't drive it anywhere, you most likely won't get any warning on the temperature gauge until it's already done some damage.

Where's the car atm? Ie at your house in Caboolture, or at a workshop, or somewhere else? If you trust people to come to your house (and that's a lot of trust, but it's your call) that might be the best way to do it, that way if it does turn out to be a big problem you don't have far to go. Don't post your address in here obviously though lol. Keep it to PM ;)

the car is at home, cuz i have the company car as well.

yes the water pump seal is leaking but it isn't 2 bad, it's not alot of water wastage.

it is getting replaced either this saturday or the following saturday,

i do still drive it, an it isn't losing much water at all, just mainly when u start it, apart from that, nothing much.

an yes this is my 1st turbo charged car, dantay, but there isn't much boost 2 begin with,

we can all have a look at it on the cruize.

Best thing you can do, cover the intake side of the turbo, where your bleed off for your waste-gate is, put compressed air into that hose and do a intercooler leak test.

Abit hard to explain but that's the ezy way to sus for cooler leak's.

If no air leak, one proplem out the way.

WHITEY

it was doing it b4 i got the fmic in, an it's still doing it. i'v nailed it down 2 the instrument cluster, because it's completely impossible 4 the engine 2 do what it does.

so yea i'v nailed out intercooler troubles, and clutch troubles because i'v had the new 1 put in.

how ever gonna get the transmission looked at and a bearing replaced,

it's sqeeky, an will prob collapse soon, i think it's called a thrust bearing, oh sumthing like that.

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
