Hi there all, New to the site. I currently have a problem with my Series 1 gtst with a series 2 Rb25DET. It runs fine when cold but when it gets warmer it tends to feel as if its restricting somewhere.

Ive checked the CAS, Injectors, Computer, Spark plugs.

Im really stuck on this problem the only thing i have not done of the above is replace the Crank angle sensor( Altho it looks phyisically fine) which ill be giving a shot on monday, If anyone is able to lend a hand it would be very much appreaciated. Thanks jamie.

alright well first no one can really help much as that could be from anything,

what has been done to the car, ie aftermarket parts, have you done a tune up at all in the past while like spark plugs , fuel filter ect ect.

we need more info and how long has it been happening for.

tell us everything !! :cool:

What do u mean by restricting?

When does it feel like its restricting? (Revs/speed/boost)

Umm maybe your coilpacks but yeah I dunno jut give as much info as possible and someone on here should be able to sort it out :cool:

What sort of spark plugs does it have/did u replace them with?

does it splutter and stall? or just feel like it's asthmatic? . a few things for you to change imo would be the water temp sensor to the ecu , then the air sensor thingy on the exhaust that i can't remember the name of :cool: , clean the afm out with co cleaner , check fuel pressure (actually, do that first ) , change fuel filter . ;)

Thanks for the replys guys, Ive also had the coilpacks checked and apprently are fine which is leading me to the CAS, It Defiently increases the problem when i run higher boost, The revs drop but not to stalling point normally sits about 1000rpm, Random drops to 500 on idle. Im thinking the CAS is internally damaged..

Aftermarket parts are the following:

3" Turboback Trust exhaust.

Turbo smart boost controller.

Power FC.

Garret GT30 turbo.

Bigger injectors.

Front mount intercooler.

Spitfire coilpacks.

Nismo Diff.

The restricting defiently feels like fuel/spark. Altho ive been told by the dyno results what is happening is my injectors are all switching off for like a milisecond, So im thinking earth/wiring problem Or Crank angle sensor =/

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
