Gtr Problems :(

[italiasr]

So I was driving my 32 today and decided to give it a little bit in 1st, hear a loud pop and it started running rough.. Now when I go to start it up, oil pressure is ok and it starts to idle but then it dies out

Does anybody have and ideas on what's wrong / how much I'm looking at to get it fixed?

Cheers,

Simon.

Sounds like popped intercooler hose.

Check those out, you'll probably find one not on anymore.

Yep, you have blown in intercooler hose off. I hope for you sake it is not the one behind the bumper bar on the passenger's side (which is the most common one) - you have to take off the whole undertray and ducting to get at it - it is a royal pain in the a$$.

Start the car (you might have to get someone to rev the car at 1,000rpm for it not to stall) and stick your ear in the engine bay and listen for a hissing or sucking sound to track down where your leak is.

yep sounds like a cooler hose

i hope for your sake it's not split.

[italiasr]

Ah cool thanks for the reply guys, I'll check it out when I get home, now to organize a tow... at least I have some spare cooler hoses from my old R lying around.

I'm just about to start tearing my 32 apart and have some of that stuff laying around. If you get stuck send me a pm I might be able to help you out

[italiasr]

all sorted, turns out the intercooler pipe blew off like you guys said... thanks for the help everyone

Great work mate, aint SAU great

Thought about signing up as a member?

Do yourself a favour and upgrade the hose clamps to prevent a repeat.....after the fouth time you pull the bumper off it gets real old!

[On Edge]

what are good clamps to use? keeps happening on one of mine, drove me insane at trackday

[Jap_star]

I use t bolt clamps, about $5 each from super cheap and such.

[Nightcrawler]

Even better, pull the whole lot off and get someone to bell-end all of the metal pipe ends - that way the clamps have something to bite onto and will NEVER come off.

Yeah I assume that Andrew can do it Cosi.

Or, my brother-in-law got Steve Cramp from Manta to do it for him, but I assume Steve removed the pipes and outsourced it - maybe give him a call to see if he does it himself or can tell you who does?

a cooler pipe popped off on my 33 once.. problem was it shot under the car and i drove over it, crushed flat....
