really Need HELP ... if u can help.. i just got my car bak from the auto elec to replace my alternator and i just got it bak and went to take it home only to find its running like a DOG box, as soon as i hit 3000rpm or when turbo kicks in it starts to coff and splatter and sometimes just stop altogether , it sounds a lil like a fuel issue but i have no IDEA wat it is .

Its got no balls and sounds like it struggling to get anywhere past 3000rpm . the idle sounds a lil out too i really dont know what happend , it was only an Alternator after all nothign special ..

What do i ask the Auto elec to do ? or wtf is WRONG wif it ?

Do i need a Dyno tune again or somthing ?

I wouldnt think u would need to tune your car again after a alternator change .

I am really pissed off at the moment and need some help on wat it could possibly be or how i would go about fixin it ?

Any1 had a problem like this PLEASE HELP !!!!

If I had customers like you I think I would like to change trades aswell.

Getting angry doesn't fix the situation at all, And im sure it was just a honest mistake. I once put a return oil line off a vacuum pump on to an altenator and did not realise it had the slightest crack, and it sprayed oil everywhere. But we were all adults about the situation and it got sorted out.

But if your going to act like a child well, the trader will eventually tell you to piss off and take it to a mechanic because its out of his field - whether it is or isn't.

Cheers

U tell me how u would feel if u had half ur Plenum Hanging off by just the hose then pay for a BS repair ...

I dont care wat u think if mechanics/Auto electricians cant Check over and do their work properly before handing it to the customer i wouldnt be in that FIELD either.

Be good to see u without a car over the Long weekend because of someone not puttin everything bak together . It coulda been anything.

All this guy is saying, is that they should check the car before giving the keys back. I would be pissed to.

Anything could have happened while driving back home and if it did, i doubt that the mechanics would have owned up to it. If they are honest they might but chances are they would say "it was like that when you brought it here"

yer well its all good :)

Thanks for your comments guys . Sumo (auto elec :thumbsup: ) and i have spoken and we have come to an agreement that it was an unfourtunate incident that lead to my car being 'Incomplete'.

Anyway, yer im not to happy but its all good i have ppl i can turn to for ideas and theorys of wat i can do to diagnose the problem.

Car is running great now :rofl: the dash lights and everything has gone more bright and im sure the spark to the coils is much more fluid. . All i need now is my turbo upgrade :) i dont wanna have to pull out the credit card :)

Happy easter Every1 !

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
