to day i ran my 33 gtst down the 1/4 after a couple of passes at 12.2@123mph with a crap 60 foot of 2.2, i ran my best 60 foot at a 1.8 but right after i hit second gear a all mighty bang went off (back fire) and the car lost power for a split second so i came off the gas until 3/4 track and jump on it again and it felt fine ,i got back to the pit area and i noticed on when you lightly press the gas it runs like its missing ,i also noticed this in the last three runs leading up to my last run ,now i think its ???????? but what i would like is some input from some sau members on what they think it could be......thanks.

i had this problem with my car, it turned out to be the intercooler pipe

one of the vacuum lines came off the fuel pressure reg and for some reason (im not gonna pretend i know what im talking about here) it backfired and pretty much just died in the arse, it would idle but wouldnt accelerate, check your cooler piping, find the loose hose and reconnect it

ps. this was a right pain in the arse to diagnose and fix at 2am on scarb beach rd in the rain :P *shakes fist in a menacing fashion*

intercooler all good .

what i have noticed is that when the car is cold its fine andwhen its hot it plays up.

could be coil packs.i dont think its normal to happen so low in the rev range but i guess anything can happen ,there only 3 years old ,ill have to check them

has anyone got any more ideas

did you check the inside of the 90 deg bends the run through in in left inner gaurd

,

earth wire .....i noticed the earth wire on the turbo side is not there. does anyone have pics to what it is connected to cos ive got the earth wire i know one side is on the exhaust manifold but have no idea what it plugs into.

o and could this be part of my problem. :D

hey warlord

try pumping compressed air into your intake system with a compressor.

i do this about every 6 months as it shows up any leaks in the system.

the easiest way i have found is undoing the clamp where your afm is, getting a plastic freezer

bag putting over the afm and then reinstalling the afm and doing the clamp up.

you can then use a trigger nozzle from your air comp stick into the fuel reg hose and pump 2 bar

into your intake system.

a lot of leeks wont show up unless there under pressure so this is the quickest and easiest way that i have found

and works every time.

and also a poor earth wont do the engine any good put it that way.

thanks !!!!!

what do you recommend i use for a earth cable, and the best place to put it.

Yeah i do. Hope i can explain this well.

Behind the power steering resevoir, on the strut tower down near the turbo intake, there should be a little gold piece of metal, the black connector just slides over that.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
