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

    • Yeah this confirms what I was thinking. Volks are worth a crap load more than my M Sport 17s and 2500 is nuts!  240 is crazy cheap, was this 20 years ago? I have a fairly good air compressor so I'm tempted to get an eBay sand blaster. 
    • I got a quote to restore a set of Volk racing gtc wheels at a wheel restoration shop which involved repainting the centres fixing some small gutter rash and repolishing them and the quote was $2.5k I ended up getting them sandblasted and powdercoated for $240  
    • Nismo 300km/h speedo for R33 gtst in GTR cluster.
    • Has anybody had their wheels refurbished? I reckon it's likely bloody expensive. Even a sand blasting quote for my 17s was 200-300 per wheel! The E39 wheels are basic BMW M Sport (or M Tech at the time.) they have slight rash and some have signs of bad repair in the past on the lips. The main issue is that they've become really off coloured.  I think it will be too much as this is definitely (supposed to be) a budget resto. I've been looking at others for sale but they all have some minor damage and colour issues.  In the end I think I'll just need to sand blast them myself and do a respray.  
    • Trying to figure out which nismo cluster i have. All the ones i see on the internet, the speedo goes up to 320kph and the revs 11k, with the nismo logo being on the rev gauge only. But on my one, the speedo goes up to 300 and says nismo, while the revs only go upto 10k and no nismo logo Dunno how to embed pics into a post so ill attach pic of my cluster and generic google search for reference Is what i have genuine?
