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?

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
