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!!

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!!!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      255 can't go wrong with the price.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.

      I dunno what the "best" one is....but when my 040 died late last year, after about 20 years of screaming service....I put in a 255. Like any such thing, you have to finagle it a little bit - it's not a no-brain swap. But it's not hard.
