Iv only got the car yesterday and it is getting better the more I drive it. The car has been sitting for a while.

Could be plugs then. My plugs fouled so bad that the car wouldn't even start. That said, my car had an underlying issue (coilpacks).

Change the plugs.

Changed the fluids and filters.

The fuel filter was so clogged I couldn't even blow threw it.

Its getting better when go to accelerate and it's smooth but it's feeling like a traction control is on.

Engine is keen to go to 7000rpm but in the wet today it felt like traction was on.

Is that sounding like a diff problem?

Plugs changed tommorrow and so will coilpacks, that should sort misfire problems.

Okay I will take a video tommorrow, it's not popping it's jerking.

I just took it for a drive and it seems as soon as the tyres are losing traction it feels like your driving over light pot holes.

Car seems to wanna stall at low rev when once put in gear.

If its been sitting around for a while its possible for the fuel to have gone a bit stale and cause a few running problems, you may just need to fill it up with fresh tank of premium

Car is still jerking replaced the spark, checked the coilpacks for cracks. My oil pressure gauge sits on almost no pressure when I'm driving at about 100ks?

I'll be replacing the fuel pump next week to see if that done it?

It's making a poping noise (popcorn in the microwave)

Its happening from 4000rpm it starts. I have a video of it now but it's not very good. In the video it makes the poping noise in 2nd gear if you can hear it

Also gotta add it wants to stall when I take it out of gear, it drops to almost 0rpm then jumps back to 650rpm. It's not hunting for and idle only.

Wants to stall when Taken out of a gear to stop. Only sometimes.

I'll change coilpacks and spark.

    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like  
    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
    • You need to buy a Saab Matt, ours had a button that turned all the dash lights off. Any decent aftermarket dash has sufficient brightness control and a headlight input for day/night settings. None of which probably helps OP
    • Yeah thanks...i thought it would be alot more i dont know 😄 I saw some videos on converting push/pull and it seems you need to "drill" the hole for slave(master) cylinder and buy some converter kit. On that front yoke clip i did not even know that is a thing and i need to source that(custom shops do not do that?) But anyway thank you for the info
