Hey guys,

I'm driving a manual R33 Gtst Series 2. The engine is completely stock except the Apexi air filter and the Nismo exhaust system fitted by the previous owner. Recently, I've been having problems with the car when accelerating.

To begin with, when starting the engine, everything seems fine until I put in 1st gear and accelerate. The rev meter goes up but nothing happens for 2-3 seconds before the gear drops in and it starts to drive as usual. This happens when I'm in 1st or 2nd gear. I've looked it up on google and I've found that there are few possibilities contributing to the lag in acceleration.

This could be caused by:

1) Blockage in air filter

2) Blockage in throttle body

3) Weak batteries (Not too sure)

4) Worn spark plugs

5) Transmission

I'm sure there are few other possibilities causing this. I then decided to look into the forum as I'm sure there are some skyline owners facing the same problem previously as well. True enough, I found few topics covering it. Unfortunately, they do not give any conclusion or solutions to this problem. I really do hope that you guys can show me a direction as to where to focus on. Need to at least have an idea before sending it to the workshops.

Thank you guys in advance.

Thanks guys. I think that should be it. I rarely encounter such problems but sometimes I have problems shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear. Rarely tho. Thank you so much. So what would be the remedy to slipping clutch? Which part should be replaced specifically?

Thanks again, guys.

I'm driving a manual. Sure. I'm planning to bring it to a mechanic in the next few days. Anyway, thank you so much for directing me. Really appreciate it. Was getting really worried cause I had no idea what was happening until now.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
