hey just a quick question.. i've got a r33 GtsT.. when i'm driving it pulls boost it won't go, it feels like it's holding back... on the boost guage it saying i'm on boost.. but yeah it doesn't go it's like it's lagging.. BUT when i turn my car off then on again, it work's normal it pulls boost then goes good... it only happens sometimes though.. any ideas??? i've checked all hte piping and vaccum it's all good... but yeah does anyone have this sort of problems??

i've got a blitz computer.... yeah it's weird when it happens, at the lights i turn the car off hten turn it back on then it drives normally

i pulled all the plugs in the engine and cleaned it.. even took out the coil packs and cleaned them too...

update.. theres' oil in the last cylinder... and spark plug was BLACK AS!! got new ones and cleaned the oil away... works BEAUTIFUL!!

5 days later... it happened again.. so i checked if there was oil in the cylinder again.. there's none so i cleaned the ends of the spark plugs. now it works good again..!! what the!! again when it did happen, i turn my car off then on again.. it worked normal again..

can't figure it out

oil in the last cylinder?

Its got bad blow by. If I were you, get it compression tested, and stop boosting in the mean time before you really wreck it.

Sounds like you are going to need a rebuild....

I have the same problem. I have a R32 GTS-t and just put a new air intake and boost controller to put it to 12 pund but still feels when it boosts not much quicker and it has alot more potential. Any idea's from anyone what this could be. The car is completely stock other than this.

why am i going through oil so quickly.. there's no leak that i can see

Oil isn't going to magically disappear. It can only be leaked out or lost in the cylinder.

Get a compression and leakdown test done, as others have said. But it looks like rebuild time.

rory_kiernan : stock r32 is 10psi? and you've gone to 12psi with not much else done... :blink:

Hey Mr Sly, i have the same problem as you at the moment, by boost laggs, but only every now and then, and im only running stock 7psi as well, with a stock ecu at the moment, any one have any idea on this one? r33 series 2 1996, it lags some times on winding up and other times around 5psi, and you can feel the pull then it kicks in, then it pulls then kicks in, its annoying the hell outa me as well, anyone think this a spark plug issue? (i havent checked them yet as been busy, but its the first thing im going to check tomorrow) just got the car back and this happened

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.

      Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
