Just bought a NA auto 33 , it needs an airbox snorkel and is yet to be serviced , I've noticed when I put my foot down a lot of thr travel of the accelerator does nothing...not until my foot is almost flat the car picks up....still yet to put the air box snorkel on and do the engine oil and filter which might make the car go a little smoother , the throttle cable doesn't seem slack...The pick up is fine until past 1/4 throttle it's after that there's a big blank spot in accelerationAny ideas? Cheers

Welcome to the nugget that is the NA skyline my friend.

as above, the NA skylines are a bit of a slug, especially the autos. what you are describing sounds like there is something else going on though (without knowing whether you are exagerating it or not). your transmission fluid may be low or you may have a sticking brake or the engine may simply be low on compression, resulting in lower than normal power. there are other things you can check though, such as the ignition timing, to make sure that it is right so you aren't losing power there.

so if you rev the car by turning the throttle body it is fine, but then if you go and sit in the car and rev it with the accelerator pedal (while still parked) it lags a bit? if so, then yes, sounds like there is an issue with the cable. may be that either the cable or outer casing is damage, or it is slack and needs tightening up

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
