Hi Guys,

I have a series 2 r33 gtst that i love to bits. Had the common boost problem that these cars seem to get (5000rpm starts to miss, jolt etc). I have had the coils out and they look ok and replaced the 1.1mm plugs with 0.8mm plugs. Made a difference at first but the jolt has come back. Think the coils are dead so i'm currently about to buy some spitfires. Anyway that aside i have started to notice lately that when i give the car a bit of a kick sometimes a bit of a smell wafts into the cabin, like a rotten egg sort of smell. Any ideas?

The smell is only there sometimes and only comes on when i give the car a bit of a push. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Cheers guys, i will have a look for a coolant leak when it is not pissing down with rain (which is great by the way!). The smell is more of a rotten egg smell than a BO type of smell.

Is there anyway to test the clutch at all? When i press down on the clutch the revs change ever so slightly and then when i release they go back to how they were before depressing the clutch. Could this be a sign toward anything?

Really appreciate the feedback guys.

Cheers.

    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like  
    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
    • You need to buy a Saab Matt, ours had a button that turned all the dash lights off. Any decent aftermarket dash has sufficient brightness control and a headlight input for day/night settings. None of which probably helps OP
    • Yeah thanks...i thought it would be alot more i dont know 😄 I saw some videos on converting push/pull and it seems you need to "drill" the hole for slave(master) cylinder and buy some converter kit. On that front yoke clip i did not even know that is a thing and i need to source that(custom shops do not do that?) But anyway thank you for the info
