Hi just wondering if anyone can help me, I own an R33 non turbo automatic and ive been having some big problems with it lately. But today I turned the car on and it shook to the shithouse. The whole car was shaking and the exhaust sounded like it was missing alot. Not the smooth sound the exhaust should make. I got a video recording of the exhaust and uploaded it so view it if you can. And I have one of the engine but its not that great but will attach if asked. But a few suggestions that have been made as to what it is are coilpacks, spark plugs, engine mounts. Im going to go with coilpacks as I got new spark plugs november last year. When accelerating or sitting at the lights is when its really bad. Going down hill, nothing. Its so shaky the whole car, engine and everything. It has never done this before, this is the first day. Ive noticed it starting about three weeks ago when it felt as tho the car was shaking a little but it does the same thing being in park, neutral, drive, reverse so I just want to find out what it is, fix it and sell the bloody thing cause ive had enough. So any help would be appreciated, thanks! :)

+1 im no expert but it sounds like coil packs.

While your at it, check the right plugs are in there and clean your air flow meter.

See if anyone on the forums has a set they can lend you in Sydney.

Cross engine mounts off your list.

Cheers.

    • 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.
