Sooo, on the way to Canberra today I gave it a bit of the lead foot and pop no more power.

The symptoms explain to a tee that it could be the intercooler piping has popped off.

Not able to idle runs like shit when forced to, black smoke billowing out, and it sounds kinda like a suby when I hold throttle to 1k 2k.

So now I'll be checking the intercooler piping. This will be my first time so I'll just be checking the fmic and trace the pipe to where it goes.

Is there anywhere else I should look if I don't find anything?

Yes I have googled.

Thank you

Like you said just trace all piping, you could also spray soapy water on the hoses and start the car and look for bubbles

You'll only get bubbles if there's boost. At idle it will suck the soapy water in.

I hate it when the pipes blow off. I would be driving on juice, then you hear a PSSH and its like MOTHERf**k. Check the bigger cooler pipes and if you find nothing, check the vacuum lines. If you still find nothing, do a proper intake pressure test and THEN use soapy water. Soapy water on an idle engine is all vacuum lol.

Thanks for the tips guys. But as was said before it was a fairly easy find after you take all the parts off.

I didn't take the bumper apart, I just took the front lip and all the belly plastic off and vuala the on the passenger side, just above the indicator blew off.

I feel so much better now :).

Thanks again you are the best

Ok back to the drawing board. I have hooked up the intercooler pipe that popped off but the car is acting even wierder now.

My battery was flat so I just got it jump started then. But the car is running terrible.

What else could have gone wrong?! It's not like before where I put the throttle down and I could at least hold the revs. But not now. It just wants to stall straight away.

Wtf else could have happened. Let me just note that I checked the passenger side first and did not think to go to the drivers side.

Any more help/advice?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
