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

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

Definitely sounds like a vacuum leak. A good way to check without a smoke machine that mechanics use it to make up a solution of soapy water, put it over cooler pipes and vacuum hoses and look for bubbles.

      OK, buy MSD. You be the guinea pig. It's not as if 6x$95 is all that much more than $470 anyway.

      Mega effort mate well done.  If it makes you feel better... - My new front and rear mains leaked immediately, meaning I had to redo timing again and remove gearbox to replace.  - When testing the rear main ws good I had the selector cables off the box (box in neutral, no drive shafts in) but there was enough vibration for it try and grab a gear at idle speeds and it spat the diff shims out, so box had to come out again... There's always "something".

      Can't forget them. Have spent the better part of the last 2 years in Bunbury. Any longer and I would have to get one of each.

      Hit it hard last night, was in the shed till 2:30am. Had to get everything ready to try fit engine today as neighbour is going away tomorrow. This happenned today      Was going smoothly, till it wasn't. Had to lower the sway bar, remove engine mounts to get the engine to its spot and then refit everything. Head drain also created some clearance issues but got there in the end. Some idiot put the drain return on the sump virtually where the engine mount is. Hose fits on but is less than ideal, going to have to revisit it and fit a 90° fitting. Had some hiccups last night too with getting the flywheel and gearbox on. Firstly forgot the sandwich plate, so had to remove clutch and flywheel again. Then gearbox went on smoothly but then realised new block has an alignment dowel in the same spot as gearbox. GB off again to remove said dowel. Cnut. Anyway, it's in now. AC and PS pumps refitted, tail shaft bolted up as well. Left to do is reconnect all harnesses and plugs. Looks like a big mess ATM. Fit dump pipe, radiator, shifter, intake piping and associated bits, air box fill, afluids and hopefully fire it up. Looks like couriers please has lost my break in oil again. Useless pricks. Looks like I'll just get whatever mineral oil is on special at super shit auto. Hopefully it will actually run after all this or I'm going to burn it, lol.
