Hey guys,

I just took my GTR out for a drive tonight. And i left about 20 secs up my street, when i was driving up a hill just normally not pushing it, i suddenly felt a lost of power and then i can hear rattling sounds from the engine. I can still drive it but when it is idling it feels like its about to stall, it idles really rough. I didnt really hear anything blow or pop. just sudden lost of power.

Also when i try to start up the car again it kind of struggles to start but when it does it idles rough for a little while then its normal again. But when i rev it up to about 4k rpm and let it go back to idle I can hear a bit of ratttling from the engine. Also i noticed the standard boost gauage is sitting above -7 now. Hope its not a blown turbo or engine! :D

Help please!

Does it blow smoke? Usually it would if you've done some turbo damage.

Maybe it dropped a cylinder as one of the coil packs died?

Or it needs a new fuel filter/injector clean?

Or even a clogged air filter?

Does it boost at all? Did the guage always work correctly or maybe you have just noticed the guage isn't working now that you think you have broken something?

Lots of smoke will mean serious damage more than likely

cheers

Hey,

-No there is no smoke anywhere that i can see or smell. I coudlnt see any leaks either.

-I just got some brand new apexi pods so it cant be clogged.

-The boost gauage has always worked. when not on the throttle it sits around -7, but now its a bit higher.

I suspect its either an injector problem or coil packs or maybe spark plugs? Maybe??

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
