Hey Guys, just got my car (r33 gts-t) recently serviced from a different service place to my normal place and they have done a pretty shitty job! anyways, i got the car back home and then it wouldnt start once it got warm and i could smell electrical wire burning, once i opend the bonnet, i saw what the issue was, the wire harness the connects to the oxygen sensor on the downpipe had come off a table tie and was sitting on top of the turbo and it had melted it nicey all the way through, anyway i called the service people, they came down and swapped the plug over, (however not an original R33 wire clip) and it all seems fine etc

So today was the first day i took it for a proper spin and it was all good until i hit the freeway, i was driving along fine for around 10 mins then and accelerated to around 120 and i felt like the engine just died and dropped power and even though i was holding onto throttle, the power was dropping, the strange thing was there was no stuttering or missing(which you would get with coil packs/spark plug issues) it just felt like i lifted off the power but i was still accelerating. it was really strange. I took the next exit and it was running fine after that, and was reving without any problems. This has never happend before and i was wondering what the issue could be? could be be related to a dodgy job on the repalcement oxy sensor? The service guys changed the spark plugs could this be a issue? i am a bit lost

what the service guys changed

engine oil

transmission oil (car is auto)

spark plugs (platinum)

most of the blets like fan belt etc

sorry about the long write up, but all feedback much appreciated so i can get to the bottom of it

thanks guys,

Din

sounds like a fuel pressure issue - what you describe is the same as when you get fuel surge or run out of fuel

didn't even think of that! could be one of the reasons!

i was also thinking, maybe its the coil packs in the early stages of dying? i have had them for a long time and since they changed the spark plugs, they are making the coil packs work a lot harder and it only happend at constant high revs when the car had warmed up. hmmm.

could try regapping them to 0.8mm

but if the engine is revving higher, but no acceleration - sounds like fuel issue

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
