So car hammers when cold? And you hammer it when cold? That's dumb.

Why write any advice would be great after receiving heaps of advice?

Should we take that as you are rejecting advice given up untill that point?

And to clarify. I suggested the three things as they are all likely causes causes of your car running like it does. You are welcome to ignore them but I would suggest pressure testing your inlet.

Ben, I actually thought the same as you....but I then realised that just maybe, giving a little credit to the OP, that mentioning that it goes hard when cold but has a bigger problem when hot is at least a valid piece of information.

I mean, if it were me being the OP I would have felt the need to tell people that I don't normally punt it when cold, just to make sure they realise I'm not an idiot but only did it for diagnostic purposes, but obviously some people don't feel the need to allay suspicion in such circumstances.

Im not trying to start an argument. .. but picking up on " it hammers when cold" and telling me im dumb.. to me is a key peice of information to help diagnosis

as for writing "any advice with a reason for your advice" .. anyone can rattle of parts of a car afm, gearbox, plugs... but why do you think its that part will help me alot more

I didn't say you are dumb.

I said hammering a cold engine is dumb.

I think it's a boost leak or dirty afm because they make the car have the symptoms you are suggesting

I also couldn't be stuffed writing along response explaining my reasons initially.

Just like you didn't bother to write a post that explains your problem and the car history fully.

Might want to check the compression and timing, then put the splitfires back in and check for leaks with carby cleaner. Injector O-rings lubed?

We are assuming the setup was tuned before not just someone elses nistune from ebay with an Ebay special turbo bolted on ?

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
