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
