HI there I just got my car from hyperdrive on thursday to get the timing belt and water pump changed and the next morning when u start the car it idle at very low rpm. when i depress the clutch above 3rd gear it stalls (approaching traffic light or roundabouts). could it be something wrong with ignition timing when they fitted the new timing belts? i just gave them a call and they claims that the car drives ok when they test it. I never had this problem before. anyone out there. pls help THANKS

hey dude

i had something simular happen to mine when i got the belt changed too, we found that it was the crank angle sensor needed adjusting (found on exhaust side on timing cover)they probably didnt put it on the angle they started with before they took it off. basicly the sensor could be out of timing. but do your research on that, get it checked out could be something else

I am sending it back to hyperdrive tomorrow morning and see what is happening. But it is far the best quote i get 650 from hyperdrive. 700 from kensei garage. I am lucky to get it done on time because my water pump is just days before the corrosion went through.

put the car in this morning and got it back at noon. car still stalls sometime tho but way better than before. crank angle sensor timing was out and bov is loose. i was told someone done something to the crank angle sensor after the car leaves the workshop...but what i did is just tighten the bolts lol... maybe that leave some marks on the bolts. he doesn't seems to be happy. but anyway it cost me nth and i am happy with hyperdrive.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
