hey guys, i'm having some huge problems with my car and i'd appreciate it if someone could help me with a diagnosis.

These problems generally appear after i drive the car quite hard. Its a 93 R32 gts-t with a Ceffy rb20 in it. Minimal mods, VG30/RB25 turbo, FMIC, SSQV, Zorst, BB Clutch, Stock boost.

1. Idle - Revs drop to about 100-200 on idle, spike back up to bout 1500, then drop again. It does this over and over again on idle. AFM's been cleaned, idle control adjusted, fuel pump changed. Idle control helped a bit but the problem resurfaced again. When approaching the lights, drop it into neutral - revs drop, car stalls.

2. After driving it hard, sometimes acceleator elicits no response. Pressing it down, no revs, nothing. Silence. Then the other night, at the lights ready to take off, put her in 1st, press acc and the revs dropped. they didn't pick up, just kept dropping everytime i pushed the accelerator til she stalled, then wouldn't start up again. Had to roll her down a hill, wait 5 mintues, then she started up again.

Now, i've changed most things on the car as stated above, but the problem still sits. Is it possible that a very worn out turbo can cause all of this? My current turbo (VG30) is about to die and is spitting alot of oil into the pipes.

Can oil from the pipes seep into the engine and cause much damage? If so, what sort of damage?

Sorry to drain it but this problem doesn't seem to be going away. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. The car is a bitch to drive atm - keeps stalling on me.

Thanks again.

modr33s2 - thanks for the reply. the turbo is quite tired so it could be very possible that that has happened - however i'm not going to find out until i take the head apart eh? Damn....more work....

Waz - i replaced the fuel pump to a warlboro item and it seems to not be that. WHen i opened the fuel tank, i found my fuel baffle floating around -wtf?

the person i bought the car off is one dodgy muta f*cka. some ppl here know who he is, but i don't wanna name names.

thanks for your help guys..

I'm considering doing the rb25 conversion (new engine, no hassles) - anyone know where i can get a good reliable half cut? I've checked upimports and just jap, could any of you guys point me to a few other places?

thanks again

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      Yes. Probably, given that there is only access from the bottom end of it, go with a drill bit. Don't start too small. 7 or 8mm is probably the right size. You want something that can make a big enough hole to do some damage, but not so bit that it clashes with the steel or binds up and breaks your wrist. A slow speed is probably a good idea too. Once the rubber is destroyed, you then have to get the crush tube off the stud, which will be the whole heat/oil/cutting exercise all over again, but this time with the need to strictly avoid damaging the stud (any further than the corrosion might already have done.

      We replaced the connector just because we could and it was still there, once we swapped the injectors around it stopped. The injectors were something I had thoughts of replacing even before I first started the engine and in hindsight I should have

      Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.

      I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.

      So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?
