Hey guys! need some advice / help! got my car serviced recently and ever since then the car has been running pretty crappy! I cant figure out what it is, it runs fine mostly, but when i let go of the throttle i can feel a vibration coming through the car, can feel it through the drivers seat and through the foot rest where the clutch would be (cars auto), that whole left side vibrates, not dramatically, but enough to notice easily. It seems to get worse on lower revs and i can't figure out what it is, coil packs and plugs are fine, car was running fine before the service. The car doesn't sound the same as it used to either, seems to be more quieter than normal on idle and as i said when i rev upto like 2K and then slowly let og of the throttle i can feel the car vibrate and then become stable again, really weird! HELP!

car: R33 Gts-t Auto

mods: turbo back exhuast, Pod, R34 Side mount, bleed valve boosted to around 9-10psi and SAFCII tuned by RE customs

what the service guys did:

change plugs

change belts (not the timing though)

oil change

auto transmission fluid change

thanks!

Auto transmission issue perhaps. I've been in cars, particularly VN/VP commonwhores and similar year falcons that were a bit iffy on decel. It was as though the box wasn't sure if it was manual or auto, seeing as auto boxes essentially put the clutch in when you let of the throttle.

Might have put in the wrong transmission fluid or something

ye i was thinking the same thing! might have to flush it and put a new batch in! but can you really go that wrong with auto tranny fluid?

    • This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.
    • Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
