I was driving my car late last night when i was at a stop i shift into first (automatic) i decided to give it a bit of gas not full throttle and then i aggressively shifted into second unsure when i heard a loud BANG my car started to splutter and lose throttle and the Check engine light came on. I pulled over and the car sputtered and died so i went to investigate and didn't see any oil or fluid leaking from underneath but i smelt a burning of some sort maybe clutch? After i pushed it home i tried to turn it on the engine light went away but it now has some sort of lumpy idle like BRAP 1 second BRAP 1 second this happens in neutral drive reverse and first gear anyone have suggestions or theory i am thinking a blown gearbox? but would that cause the weird lumpy issue thanks. 

TLDR shifted aggressively in an auto heard a bang now car is lumpy in gears and idle

Doesn't really  matter what's  not working, because there's no way you would be able to fix it based on that assessment.

 

An auto gearbox won't make a clutch smell.

 

Does it move under its own power?

Blew intercooler hose off. Most of the way off, still nearly closed.

that's my bet too.

but I can't say I understand what happened to cause it from the description

Thanks for quick reply's really does mean alot. It does move in all gears reverse etc... it just "braps" so it kind of just hops along and won't drive smoothly.  Sorry for the description i wrote in in a hurry pretty bummed right now because of what happened. All i heard was a loud bang and the car just sort of died. I will check the intercooler piping Tomorrow as it is pretty late and i have a long work day tomorrow.

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
