hey guys..

i have an r33 s1 gtst with the rb25det in it.. the car has an apexi n1 exhaust, frontmount cooler done by plazmaman, splitfire coil packs and an apexi avcr which just died (havnt worked out why yet but happened after the car got these next problems).. it has recently developed a problem out of nowhere and is running really rich i think (black crap all ova back of the car that it never used to get) but it will not boost properly, it hesitates badly or just cuts out altogether untill i let my foot back off the gas and is slowly getting worse, now it is gettin hard to drive off boost and its even starting to idle funny..

can anyone please help i dnt want to pay a performance shop if i can help it..

thats what i thought also but can seem to visually find any loose piping or worn silicone joins or clamps, it does get up on boost sometimes but its very hard to get it there.. may have a try at presurising it tomos and see how that goes..

just took it for a drive then and after i try give it a bit of gas and back off throttle while getting on the clutch it wants to stall and sometimes does stall.. and its still idleing very rough

any other ideas anyone

once pressurized, spray some carby cleaner or soapy water on the joints

if your running an atmo bov, make sure that the return is still blanked off, could have come loose or popped out

ok so i pressurised the pipe work and no leaks.. disconnected all the avcr gear and its a bit better n standard boost but is still really laggy!!

any other help would be great tryin to fix it all up be4 my sisters formal next week

few years back mine started running rough under decel and accel and black soot over the ass end but ran sweet when cruising. ended up being a cracked CAS bracket and timing was out.

+ 1

had a broken cas bracket on my 32

how much pressure did you put in the pipng?

other possibility is the AFM is dodgy

hey mate i just held it on for like a min and its a big compressor that runs my whole shop i assume the pressure was really high tho..

i swapped the coolant temp sensor and it seems to be running fine all the way through the revs @ 5psi but as soon as i switch it to 9psi it boosts up and then cuts just as the guage hits 9psi.. any chance it may be a dodgy stock fuel pressure regulator or even a tired fuel pump

CAS is on the front of the motor. round thing with 3 10mm bolts holding it on that when loosened allow you to turn it sideways a little bit (to adjust the timing). has a plug with a few wires in it coming out the side.

could possibly be a fuel pressure issue, but i don't really think so

going to ask a stupid question, but you aren't using the stock gauge as your only boost gauge are you? it you are then that is the reason why you are having issues. it doesn't read in PSI, so what you think is 9psi is a buttload higher. about 18psi in fact, and any issues you are having is the ECU going into it's protection mode.

na mate using an aftermarket guage one on the dash is disconnected.. and the cas appears to be fine.. i am starting to stress out cos i cant figure it out lol and being on the coast i dont know what shop i can take it too.. i did take my cars to the throttle shop at gosford but they are gone now

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
