hey guys,

i've got an r33 and last week the car lost so much power. when i put the foot all the way down, it just revs and basically goes nowhere. I've tried pumping it with injector cleaner, fuel system cleaner but nothing seems to work. If anybody has any ideas as to what may be the problem, could you please let me know.

Cheers,

Antony.

its something to do with the clutch in the auto or it could be the gearbox i had the same problem with mine but it was a manual as soon as it got to 4 rpm it would go straight to redline without me moving and it was because the clutch was worn and it was slipping have it checked by a mechanic

i have the same problem with my car. Its a 92' r32 GTS RB20DE auto. Did u find out th eproblem and how to fix it? very keen on the solution, as i am a Noob. it is my first car, and its been this way since i got it.

although a bit of an increase in power as the engine warms up.

Also, there seems to be a new engine noise which has just recently come up. somewhere between 2-3000rpm theres a vibrating noise, which sounds like somethings loose.

Any tips on what it is or what i should do? mind you i am a Noob.

I have taken it to a few mechanics but unfortunatly have had no luck. No one seems to know what the hell is goin on. Its got nothing to to with the gearbox, apparently, i thought it may be the coils, but its not them, the next thing thats gonna be looked at is the cat to see if its blocked or not. Either way i'll keep you guys posted. If any body out there knows of a good mechanic who knows what they are on about with skylines and are in melbourne, could you please let me know.

Cheers,

PS. Anut, my car is exactly the same, increases in power as it warms up, sometimes it even goes back to being normal, but as soon as it gets cold, it starts all over again, and i do get that same noise around that rev range. I am trying to get to the bottom of this.

ill have the afm checked out, but i was told that if it was the afm, there would be heaps of smoke coming out of the exhuast, as for the fuel, its using heaps more, im pushing it if i can get somewhere between 250 & 300 kms from a tank using optimax. I would normally get somewhere between 450 & 500 kms

Does yours make like a loud sucking noise at cold start between 2000-3000rpm BOTH when accelarating and just after when stepping off the gas? Mine does this and i've got the stock air filter and air box still, no pods (i know pod does this). And it stops doing it after the car is warmed up like at normal temp. Can there be an AFM problem, like its on its way out?

nismo_GTS keep us posted wat happen to urs ok.

Cheers

Mine makes that noise but i have a pod, i have managed to book the car in for monday, the mechanic reckons he's gonna need the whole day to find out whats wrong, we'll see how we go. I'll let you guys know whats goin on whatever happens.

Cheers.

The exhaust will make a snappy vibrating noise in N/A's and it has been layed down to a charicteristic of the engine, something along the lines of the cams, should be most prominaent around 2500-2900ish.

I had a problem with mine a little while back where the engine would cut out and react like it was hitting redline fuel cut, but would do it as low as 3500rpm, esp the hotter the engine became, this turned out to be the exhaust cam sensor. Which is a mitsubishi part (Mitsu sabotage!!) i wasnt happy because the very same time it stop working, was the same time my car was sitting on the dyno, i was very pissed off. My car hit top of 96kw @ wheels, but due to the sensor cutting out at 4000rpm, and anyone with an N/A knows this is where the real power only starts to build up, i had another good 2500-2800 rpm left to pump out my power figure, i was not a happy boy.

Hey guys. This is becoming really frustrating. The last guy i took it to doesnt have any idea whats goin on. He suspected that it might be the cat thats blocked but after putting it up on the hoist and checking out the temperature difference from one side of the cat to the other wich was only a few degrees, he said its in good nick. I am convinced that is something to do with the exhaust. Im going to change the cat anyway on the weekend and clean the pod out.

Cheers

P.s I really appreciate all the tips you guys have been giving me so far, thanks guys

    • So, if the headlights' cutoff behaviour (angles, heights, etc) are not as per 6.2.6.1.1 without automatic levelling, then you have to have to have automatic** levelling. Also, if the headlight does not have the required markings, then neither automatic nor manual adjusters are going to be acceptable. That's because the base headlight itself does not meet the minimum requirement (which is the marking). ** with the option of manual levelling, if the headlight otherwise meets the same requirements as for the automatic case AND can be set to the "base" alignment at the headlight itself. So that's an additional requirement for the manual case. So, provided that the marking is on the headlight and there is a local manual adjustment back to "base" on the headlight, then yes, you could argue that they are code compliant. But if you are missing any single one of these things, then they are not. And unlike certain other standards that I work with, there does not seem to be scope to prepare a "fitness for purpose" report. Well, I guess there actually is. You might engage an automotive engineer to write a report stating that the lights meet the performance requirements of the standard even if they are missing, for example, the markings.  
    • Vertical orientation   6.2.6.1.1. The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
