Hi guys driving my car before i felt a slight miss/surge and didnt worry about the problem.

Driving home on light/medium throttle car hesitates and surges and wont go anywhere even if i try to put the accelerator pedal flat to the floor while its happening. Dont think its spark plugs cause it dosent do it on high revs.

Advice please.

Thanx

Anthony

only thing i can suggest is that my petrol was very low. near reserve, and was doing it then.

i put 30 litres of fuel in and it done it once again. Few minutes later everything seemed fine and is running back to normal.

Is this a fuel pump problem or maybe i just picked up some crap out of the bottom of the tank?

ok went for another drive now the problem is getting worse.

at idle the revs just dropped to 0. basically car nearly turned itself off then started straight away by itself.

Then had to nurse it home cause i couldnt go past 2,000 revs as it will just splutter and hesitate/surge. :)

you can clean them with contact cleaner, theres also a diy thread around about how to resolder the point inside the afm incase they have dry solder or have gotten lose.. pretty simple and easy to eliminate

or you could buy a z32 one but once you start replacing parts it gets expensive =P

how low is the fuel tank atm?

Well you said it was playing up regardless kinda?

I reckon its either AFM or pump mounting based on what you've said.

Try cleaning them, but i doubt it'll fix it... the insides where the elec stuff is will be the stuff thats causing problems = replace

    • 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.
