Greetings SAU

My r33 has come up with this annoying idle issue. From a cold start it tends to do it once I give it a slight rev or if it's been running for a minute or so. It sometimes goes away (easy to tell when it's got the sluggish idle compared to how it's suppose to sound)

It also changes the way it takes off it feels as if it's struggling to move, I haven't tried to hit boost while it does this, It also seems to happen when it's warm too (but less frequent and goes away when revs get above 2.5-3000).

However, when I was driving it the other day would of been hot as it had been running for a while, I hit boost in it then it just randomly stalled while I was driving. I tried to start it again it would start fine but then the revs would drop and it would stall pretty much 2 seconds in. I had to pull over because it pretty much would just keep stalling. If I was to rev it to stop it from stalling it wouldn't like it (kind of sounded like extra air was coming out the exhaust or something similiar) I sat there with it off for about 20 minutes to turn it back on to the same issue I was able to drive it home but it struggled.

I hope this makes sense I don't really know how to explain it that well

i just blocked it off and it happened again as i was slowing down to a red light, i pretty much had no power and the revs would drop pulled over and it magically went away a few minutes later

if there was a air leak would that effect me in boost? because 90% of the time i actually take the car out it will hold boost and drive fine. just these random incidents where i could have had it on load or just slowing down to a light

i do notice how the flutter is more 'pshshshshsh' if its low revs but if its high revs its a 'pshhhhhshshshshsh'

i noticed that the a/c belt has torn itself does that have any other significance other than a/c?

thanks

also what i meant by when it has no power is its telling me im on 2k revs when my turbo is spooled well above it its like all the air is just coming out my pod filter

That makes so little sense it's not funny.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
