hey guys and girls,

just recently my std turbo blew, anyway i replaced it with another stocky,

so tonight i took if for a spin and all was well i came onto boost very slowly didnt give it any more than 3000 didnt even get into 3rd and then is started rtevving by itself like the pedal didnt go down its just when i backed off it started to keep going,so i turned the car off rolled back down the road to my joint, and then get home and on idle its knocking and almost stalling!!!

ive reset my computer thinking that might be it but it wasnt????

now any help here would be great, what do you guys think i done everything right( well atleast i think so)

PLEASE HELP THANKS GUYS

pod filter

3" exhaust turbo back

front mount

i did put the 3" high flow cat on when i put this replacement turbo on n before i changed the turbo n put the cat on there was no problems

just got home after letting the car cool down,the coolant was a bit lower than full so i topped it up,started it and now NO MORE NOISE its back to normal?????????

yeah, the series 2 tend to be like that. i had same problem but not the idle prob, and it went away the next day. maybe some problems just fix themselves overnight.

Hey guys update on the 33 problem,took it to the mechanics to get the timing belt and shit done etc for the 100,000km service,and they said it was the coil packs and plugs so they have been changed and now all is good,hopefully this will help someone with the same problem down the track.

also i think one of the factors that i forgot to mention in the first post was that the car had been only driven once every 2 weeks for the last 4 months due to loss of licence.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
