just today my car started to play up. its a r34 gt-t triptronic. 1st gear is good. 2nd till 4th runs very slugish and wont rev over 3000rpm. once hit 3000rpm it feels like the car is held back, drops revs by a touch and just holds under 3000rpm. any ideas what the problem could be. very few mods done to the car. voltage stablizer, 6000x300x105 fmic, blitz pod, hks front pipe, blitz cat-back exhaust. other than that nothing has been done to it. need the car for easter weekend. and apparently when car is held back after 3000rpm black smoke is poured out of the exhaust. help will be greatly appreciated guys. cheers

yeah i drove it home and has been sitting home since. i dont know whats going on, and am new to the turbo scene.

it only happened this afternoon. i was thinking maybe traction control is crook, cause it feels like traction control is on even though wheels not slipping and traction control is off. going to check it out once the sun is up. any clue where to start? eg vacuum hoses, intercooler piping? any help will be good. thx

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, next order of business, very much not important but I didn't like how like how it looked (and, we can pretend it restricts airflow if that makes this better). Both the front number plate, and more importantly the holder are pretty ugly. Step1, replace bent old plate with new one in blue cf style with new values Step2, unlike the Leaf where the bumper was flat enough to remove the holder altogether and just mount it on the bumper, with the v37 I decided to chop the hell out of the mount to retain the flat mounting surface. Step 3, much better (needs black bolts I think)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      If you are selling an R32 GTR, you can buy 3 or 4 v37s Redsports..... Anyway, a few more services/mods for daily use are the first order of business. I'm using the 2015 Q50 (LHD) workshop manuals from Nicoclub and they seem pretty much right, but a search didn't turn up any mention of the term "glove" so I could work out how to properly change the cabin filter for the AC. After some stuffing around, turns out Nissan now call it a "grove" box. Anyway, for anyone who does want to change their cabin filter : 1. Half open the glove box then push upwards each side to release bottom hinges, then twist sideways to remove opening stoppers, then pop off dampener string LHS 2. Unclip the cover behind, then unclip the cover behind that 3. Cabin filter is now readily accessible, note the airflow arrow points downwards. It seems loose in the space but note the cover has tabs that will push it up when you install the cover This time the filter was basically new so I've just marked it with the current date and reinstalled, and the aftermarket replacement I bought Wesfil (WACF-0177) is into the parts box   I really recommend checking this in any car that is new to you, they are normally really grotty

      Sydney cv shops

      I got tools but nothing special, your typical <100 piece toolset ahaha Though, I've never touched CV's before, and dont want to f*ck it up either... I've never taken my car to a shop before (I usually do everything myself or ask the ole man for help) so appreciate the advice on that, will probably stay away even more now. Regardless, any recommendations?  Planning on going to the suspension shop in Rydalmere sometime soon after fitting the coilovers & cv's too for a good alignment.

      Although, if you're in south-western sydney, i highly recommend you stay away from any shop on Hoxton Park Road.

      CV's aren't' hard to rebuild, if you don't have the tools then yeah, throw it towards your nearest garage. Any half decent "mechanic" can rebuild a CV, it's quite common to do since there are millions of FWD cars about.
