today i started up the car and it was grand for about a mile,then it started to idle between 500-1100.after that when i slowed to stop it would cut its self out and take about four trys to get it going.then i got into it tonight put started it i up.the idle was crap put it in first and when i put the foot down the revs went up but the car was going about 5-10mph and just spluttering.it was like it was miss firing all the way up the rev range.

i cant even drive the car now.i changed the plugs about a week ago to denso irduim and it was ok,i cleaned the maf and changed the bov to a standard dump valve.

i ordered new ngk plugs 07 heat range.if that dosnt work i will probley look into new coil packs.

i would suggest it might not be spark. try a fuel filter change first, they are cheap at around 30-40 dollars and should be done anyway.

Check the plug on the afm, and that none of the afm connector wires are damaged. How long ago did you clean it? people have mixed results from cleaning them

when coilpacks die, it is usually more of a "slowly get worse" than a sudden death, so i would be looking at other things first.

ther is always the take it to a mechanic option if you cant find it

      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.
