R34 Gtt Sounds Like A Wrx...

[joshguy]

Ok so i have been having a few issues with the 34 for a while now namely electrical/ sensors ect ect, and was having the fixed on thursday next week. but now i just started my car and it sounded....odd. 3x louder than usual, extreme loss of power and it sounds like my exhaust is below me feet. i checked underneath and found that i had exhaust comming from what looked like a loose connection in my exhaust setup. has anyone had this problem before? because i cant get underneath to fix it/ know how itt happned....can anyone help? or give a few ideas?

cheers....

I am not making sense of this ...

Your exhaust isn't attached in a place or is a bit or your exhaust missing? :S

Oh and it probably sounds like a rex because of your coilpacks lol ...

a joint in a section has come lose, its not detached but i have exhaust leaking from it now...lol

i only had the coils put in less that 8,000 k's ago.... just tried to get to the coilpack/spark plug housing and now i find one of the bolts on the pipe above the housing is threadlocked......fail night lol

Oh I see, the usual things that causes this is becoming loss over time or hitting a bump etc ... It's an easy fix tho

Treadlocked = fail!

Sounds like the start of a long night lol ... Good luck with repairs

only got the stock one thats rated to 900kg's lol and i dont think it goes high engough for me to get under the car for a decent look haha fun and games

[GTR.Lady]

Oh ok, fair enough, I get you now ... lol Hoist FTW

[joshguy]

lucky! =P well i got under, and it turns out i have some shoddy workmanship. the weld that connects the other side of the exhaust has actualy come unstuck and is only held there by the bolts. so it seems it just have been what they used to seel the to parts.... kinda like this

mate had this happen to his 33.

one spark plug was fouled up so was only running on 5 cylinders.

and consider the engine in r33 ad r34 are 95% identical, id say check that out
