Hey guys,

After installing my forward facing plenum on my r33 gtst the car is missing, backfiring and shaking struggling to stay alive.

Iv checked for vacuum leaks, bov seems to be working and fuel isn't old.

Could it be

My AAC valve air feed line from intercooler piping has a slight kink in it?

Afm,plugs,coil packs haven't been touched.

Injectors were taken out and flipped but I tried to handle them with care.

Has anyone had this happen to them?

Any of the injectors might not be firing if you have caused a connection issue on the loom plugs (or something similar).

A slight kink in the pipe to the AAC won't cause a problem, unless it has cracked or otherwise gotten damaged. As long as there is a bigger open area in the kinked part of the hose than the opening of the valve in the AAC it won't restrict flow noticeably.

Could pressure on the injector while it was out cause this?

A bending of one of the prongs that are on the tip of the injectors while they were on the bench do this?

      IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
