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.

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
