sup ppls,
I've had my 96 r33 gtst for about a month and suddenly last week been hammered with a problems. Need some help from some guru's around here.
1) boost: the car came with a turbosmart twist type boost controller, took it off cause it spiked ridiculously, at low boost it sits a 6-7psi, once I drop down to second gear and give it some beans, the boost gauge shoots up to the original 10psi, but not always only when I try to redline it. Is this normal?
2) transmission: This is starting to worry me, trying to get into gears is hard, feels like the gear linkages aren’t aligned properly, sometimes I need to force the gear in. Another problem is when I change from 5 to 4, it makes a very alarming sound, like when you try to get in gear without enough clutch in, that grinding sound.
3) engine: An extremely loud knocking sound has arisen from the cam cover or around that area when I start the car and when I throttle it to 1500rpm, it is the loudest at that point, it just keeps "knocking" like something's loose or hitting something.
Any help would be great.
Cheers
