Dammit... the noise has stopped.... now my car won't start without a jump! I've checked the battery filled up with distilled water and checked the leads... everything seems fine! It's all buggered!

I'm back in Perth late next week and unfortunately I have previous experience with a Meteor. If one of these fine gentlemen fails to assist drop me a line...I'm ten minutes up the road...At least you can change your own tyres. I had an ex who had a flat on her MGB and I had to drive 30 minutes to change it...damn centre lock rims

Ok....so update on the bunky!

To all you Einsteins who said: "Get a new car" thankyou for your highly intelligent, genious input....how ever, noticable to some, I am more than obviously in the process of doing this..so please stop hammering me with your overwhelming brain power!!

Anyways...more to the point...the bunky is now making a "shooosh" sound every nwo and then when I accelerate. I can't pin point any pattern, it just happens randomly. it soudns liek the exhaust, but it's pretty scary! Please help! I really need to keep this running to get em from A to B at least till I get finance!!!

Swooshing is fine for a ladies car, when it starts going brackata-brackata-pop-brackata-brackata-brack-pop-pop-kashung you're in trouble.

What do u mean for a ladies car....it's not a ladiescar it's a SH!TBOX? And swooshing is fine?....but it's never doen it before up until satruday....i swear it's comign from the exhaust when it first happened i thought I'd popped a tyre

Probably just as you described & it's an exhaust leak. Only a pretty bad one.

And sif edit my post at the top of the page!

What're u talkign abotu editing ur post? lol im confused....

And "only a pretty bad one"?? wellllll thank god for that! lol aw-ohz! I took a mate for a drive last night and he said he's not sure if it's the exhaust or not now. When I take off it does it for about the first 5 mins, and I can't accelerate and it like revs and slows down then all of a sudden the swooooosh noise stops and I can drive properly again....?!?!?! Any ideas?!!

:(

Are you still trying to con some poor fella into mowing your lawns and painting the house?

Maybe time for a basic service, plugs, leads, distributor cap..ect could be in order.

Does it do it only when the engine is cold? does it have an auto choke or manual choke? Try letting the car warm up a bit on cold start.

Atleast pull the plugs out and give them a clean if you're on a budget, same goes for the contact points on the leads and distibutor cap.

Let someone else with more knowledge have a listen-drive. I will most probably be something very basic.

Unless of course it's going brackata-brackata-pop-brackata-brackata-brack-pop-pop-kashung :(

Haha Yes I'm giving it all I got!!! It's worth a try right? Some poor fella will fall for it! lol jkz

Thanks that helps heaps Yeah it's got a manual choke. That means I'd have to give it like 15mins to warm up cos I normally give it a good 10mins. I'll see how I got with all of that and no I want to learn to do it myself ;)

Thanks for the tips!!

  • 3 weeks later...

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for giving me help & info about this. I have come to the conclusion that the gherkin is possessed. There is no longer funny noises and it's driving perfectly fine. I need to replace the battery. All of a sudden the radio has started working again too (which hasn't worked for 6months!!!) Now it's all stupid cosmetic damage (see: below). The front side panel was bent in by someone with a crowbar 9god knwos what they were trying to do) and my window lever broke so my Bushman Mechanic friend, Joel jammed it in place with some sticks on the ground (*face palm*) and one night the horn went crazy everytime I turned the wheel so in a fit of rage I ripped it out!

So at least now it'll get me from A to B until I get finance (i have an appointment with the bank 2 fridays from now and they're sure I'll pass this time. I failed last time due to an account overdrawl but 8weeks with no over-draw and I should be suh-weet!!!) So Yeah thanx Guys!!!

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
