Hey peoples...

Ok so my mate is having a problem with his r33 gtst.

Symptoms are chugging / shuddering when accelerating

generally only happens once the car has been driving for a

little while.

I think its a vacuum leak... i had a quick look for loose hose

connection etc but found nothing... i'm guessing when the car

warms up it open a split in a hose connection etc?

has anyone had this problem?

any ideas?

suggestions to fix?

ok any help would be much appreciated...

regards

Simon

hey man i had a simallar problem with mine all it ended up being was one of them rubber elbow hoses on the intercooler piping and it only opened up when the car wa son boost just a thought hopefully it helps

Ok... So i have checked every vacuum hose connection... intercooler pipes etc

i cant find a leak anywhere. there's no hissing sounds.. honestly appears as though

its not vacuum...? i checked all the coil packs. all of them seem to be working fine.

is it possible the air flow meter is playing up? i cant think of anything else...

It doesn't shudder when it hits boost... more on take off once the car is warm...

any suggestions would be appreciated...

cheers

Simon

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
