when im driving sometimes, no matter what gear im in, the turbo will spool but the engine wont go anywhere, then seconds later it will realise and continue like normal, i usually have to take my foot off the accelerator and put it back on for it to stop, so when im doing 50ks then go to 3rd, and acceletrate it wont go anywhere till i take my foot offf and put it back on.

any ideas?

I was thinking it can't be that because it happens after I chuck it in gear and it happens if I just drive in the same gear and not change it...

These words still make it sound like its clutch slip. Where is the friction point on the clutch? High up the top?

ive since discovered, **sometimes** when i put my foot on the clutch as im coming to a stop the car will act like its conking out (engine light comes on, hicas comes on, revs go to 0) then when i take my foot off, the lights go away and the engine goes back to how it was? is that a transmission problem?

Atmo BOV?

Does that happen in neutral or only when in gear?

If only in gear then the clutch is buggered and its not disengaging correctly

Need some more info. If u keep it in gear with the clutch in does it try and stall or only when u are slowing?

89cal may be right about the bov but need more info

    • 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.
