Hey people i was just wondering what is wrong with my turbo. When i start to drive my car; the turbo start to lag about 3000 to 4000 rev and then the needle start to bounce back. some time it hard to change gear?

1. Could it be the gearbox?

2.Turbo?

3. Lose hose?

4. Service the car?

What do you think people?

Going to need a little more information bud.

Do you mean you don't get any boost till 3-4k? Is your factory bopost gauge reading positive pressure? is your car stock? mods?

Having recently experienced clutch slip in my R33 (to the point where it would no longer drive) this is exactly what would happen.

Foot goes down. Boost increases and car accelerates. Revs start flying up but car goes no faster, resulting in boost loss. Clutch starts to grab again. Revs drop as clutch re-engages. Boost comes back on and car pulls to redline without slipping. This happened every time until the clutch no longer worked at all. I didn't even make it home that afternoon.

You will know it's the clutch if the problem is worse in higher gears. Try it out.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
