Hey fellas

tonite i installed a Cold AIr intake on my R33 GTS (i know its totally unrelated but i mite mention it anyway).

I was driving for 3 minutes when i loose battery power. Get this, im driving along with my aircon on, 1 12" neon, lights, foglights and mp3 player on. I approach a T-intersection and as i push the clutch in and leave it clutched the rpms hit 800-100 then stalls.

Prehaps im using to many accessories for my crappy battery to handle.

but it gets worse.

I went to start it up and my car made this whining sound then the call stalled. So i tried again (this time giving it some gas) as the RPM went up the whining noise got louder. Then i wound up 4000rpm and the noise was gone :S Does anyone know what this whining sound was?

Oh, and on my way home my car stalled again when i had the clutch in. Whats wrong with my car ???

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey,

Could be a few things like an alternator, but also seized air con compressor, rooted bearing on the fan belt driven stuff, - power steering for eg.

Or other stuff.

My aircon seized, and the car would stall when I turned on the A/C.

Sorry, but there could be a few things that it might be. Start narrowing stuff down.

interesting combination of problems.....

with electrical problems like this, check alternator, check body earth, check battery.

dying batteries and poor earths can cause very random problems!

and check everything around the air filter (air-flow meter connection does spring to mind)

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
