Hey guys,

My car ( series 2 r33 gts-t) has been making this strange farting noise anytime it's over 3000 rpm and under boost. Doesn't seem to be there if I just cruise up to 4-5000rpm slowly but when it starts boosting is when I have the issues (the rpm's go up but doesnt feel like it's pulling harder at all) I have attached two (shitty) videos of my attempting to capture it on video. You may need headphones but it's right at the end of each little pull. Some other symptoms I've notice which may be related:

 

-Terrible fuel economy (i get around 280km out of a tank!)

 

-Slight smell of fuel when starting the car (most the time)

 

- Massive decrease in power (Noticeably worse with A/C on)

 

 

Car seems to pick up quickly for a second and then goes really sluggish. Also worth mentioning that the sound appears to be coming from somewhere between the middle and drivers side of engine bay.

Ive attached this video link from a previous post because it shows the sound better than mine:

A lot of people say it could be the GTR blow off valve (I had one installed) what are the chances that could cause all my symptoms? The car only has exhaust, front mount, pod filter, splitfires and all the other usual noob mods. 

 

Thanks for the help!  and apologies for the longer than expected post ?

    • 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.
