Hi there guys, last night I was driving my r33 and I was going about 60 kays then all of a sudden it nearly lost all power when I pulled over it kept idling really weird like it'd nearly die then perk back up again, and continued doing this, I noticed my water bottle had bugger all in it so I took the radiator cap off and filled it up, I managed to limp the car back to my girlfriends at about 20 Kays but I had to keep the revs up otherwise it'd stall, it blew quite a bit of smoke, I have work today and my boss is angry as hell at me so if I can fix it quickly or even just diagnose the problem for me it'd be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much,

Axyl

I also have Apexi afc neo piggyback ecu of that could be a problem, I have no idea :(

Check all intercooler pipes, make sure they are ALL connected and tught, check the silicone joiners for splits.

May also be a bad air flow meter, try a mates afm.

Because u have been driving while running poorly and rich u will need some new spark plugs too.

Get some bkr6e spark plugs, dont let the parts shops tell u u need platinums etc, waste of money

I also recently installed a hks ssqv bov could this have done it? Like could blocking up the old pipes bugger it too? :(

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
