Hi Guys,

I bought a 95 r33 gts-t s1 about a month ago. Everything is pretty much stock on the car except for the 3" exhaust, boost controller, air intake and dump pipe

The thing is, when I got the car, it was running perfect then I got a little too gready and pumped the boost controller up. I ended up blowing the plugs. I took it to the mechanics next door where I work and he fitted some dodgy ones that were misfiring badly. From previous threads I learnt that the gaps were too big. So I brought it back and the damn mechanic checked the fuel pressure as well as reduced the boost way down.

The car kept misfiring and I kept insisting for the plugs to be regapped. Today, while I was driving I noticed that the engine sounded lke it was under tremendous load, sort of high turbulence noise. The boost is really week, and there is practically nothing from the blow-off valve. It consumes too much fuel. nearly 3/4 tank over 80 kms.

The car has also lost tremendous amount of power. It lags everytime I put my foot on the throttle. I tried to inspect what was going on under the hood. I noticed a little oil stain near the intake.

I have spent the last 6 hours goin through turbo leaks, coil failure, afm failures and many others.

I am really nervous. I have booked an appointment with SHIFT performance to have a look at the car on Tuesday.

The thing is I am extremely anxious and worried. Has anyone experienced similar troubles. What should I do? Is it going to be costly?

I appologize if there are any similar posts. Help, Please!

Now when you say you got greedy and turned up the boost..... exactly how much psi were you running?

And the blown spark plugs, what do you mean? EDIT: Did they actually come out of the head

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
