hey guys in my r33 i was finally taking it for a drive tonight to go pump up the tyres get a full thing of petrol etc after getting it to drive. when i noticed the muffler was really rough sounded like a rex... and call me stupid but you can usually tell a difference.. well i can, theres no shit coming out of the exhaust it runs fine hey no black/white or any smoke comin out nice and smooth

anywayyyyy first of all there is no bloody power when i put my foot down its still using the turbo and stuff cause the bov lets go when i let go etc, but it really is going no where and is shakey, i realise the most problems come when im in second going for hard acceleration from first gear like 3/4 rev then shift to second to continue with foot down but what happens when i have my foot down is there is a huge RUSH of air that lets out then the accelerator/throttle stops working, like there is no pressure when i put my foot down, so then i let go come to a stop put it back in gear and it drives still but it has no balls! if i drive it accelerating slowly its fine...

I replaced the timing belt, spark plugs, radiator hoses, radiator fluid, fuel lines, fuel filter, oil filter, oil, got fuel injector cleaner, new pod.

Figured id let you know what i replaced so you can possibly give me a diagnosis as to whats happening. If they inter-relate or not

Help asap would be appreciated cause ive spent months trying to get the car back on the road so the sooner the better cheers.

Maybe the timing is out? just want to check with others to be sure cause i dont want to rip everything off the car again cause we all know thats not fun...

cheers.

Sounding like a rex? Usually means youve dropped a cylinder. Coilpacks perhaps.

i had the same problem it was coilpacks that solved the lack of cylinder problem just take one spark plug lead off at a time to figure out which cylinder isnt firing (the guilty culprit when the lead is removed the engine revs/sound will not change) as for the air escapin i also am having that problem cleaning the air flow meter and air flow meter conections made a big improvement.... if u have a boost guage is it reading high (over boost) that caused my car to fuel cut when my waste gate played up

    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
