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

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
