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?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
