Hey guys! need some advice / help! got my car serviced recently and ever since then the car has been running pretty crappy! I cant figure out what it is, it runs fine mostly, but when i let go of the throttle i can feel a vibration coming through the car, can feel it through the drivers seat and through the foot rest where the clutch would be (cars auto), that whole left side vibrates, not dramatically, but enough to notice easily. It seems to get worse on lower revs and i can't figure out what it is, coil packs and plugs are fine, car was running fine before the service. The car doesn't sound the same as it used to either, seems to be more quieter than normal on idle and as i said when i rev upto like 2K and then slowly let og of the throttle i can feel the car vibrate and then become stable again, really weird! HELP!

car: R33 Gts-t Auto

mods: turbo back exhuast, Pod, R34 Side mount, bleed valve boosted to around 9-10psi and SAFCII tuned by RE customs

what the service guys did:

change plugs

change belts (not the timing though)

oil change

auto transmission fluid change

thanks!

Auto transmission issue perhaps. I've been in cars, particularly VN/VP commonwhores and similar year falcons that were a bit iffy on decel. It was as though the box wasn't sure if it was manual or auto, seeing as auto boxes essentially put the clutch in when you let of the throttle.

Might have put in the wrong transmission fluid or something

ye i was thinking the same thing! might have to flush it and put a new batch in! but can you really go that wrong with auto tranny fluid?

    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite 
    • Interesting. I've not dived into the cleanliness of the factory CAS. I'm curious if the variations are less of an issue if the OEM sensor were brand new. Optical sensors if they're starting to get dirt and crap into them as they're getting older would definitely cause issues as they age.   It's an interesting point to keep in the back of mind for me though
    • Hmm. Tough one. Without knowing where the conductivity value is supposed to sit, it's hard to know whether a standard DMM set to an available ohms setting would be able to measure anything. Ohms being the inverse of what we're talkng about and probably good enough for the girls I go out with. But if you want to go all hoity toity with a 4 wire rig - go ahead. It can only be more accurate - just in case more accuracy or repeatability turns out to be required. If you're going to the effort, just go chuck the ohm-mage probes into the car's reservoir and see if you can measure anything at all?
