did you put any water on electrical system?? like fuse or connectors...

 

fgive ew hours to dry out...

 

sounds lilke short circuit problem

i didn't cover anything when i sprayed the water. so this might be the problem..

also when i sprayed stuff on, the car was a little hot.. when i spray water on i can see smokes come out from the bottom, where the turbo sits.. so i think its something to do with the turbo.

Man thats just not smart.... no offence....

As mentioned above, check all your intercooler piping. How is it idleing? Is it popping when on idle?

i dont think spraying water around your exhaust when its hot would damage it to the extent of not being able to make boost (at the most it would only crack the exhaust manifold), my money is on an electrical problem because it has water in it. try unplugging a few things that may have gotten wet and spray them with rp7 to get the water out, but i would think that even with electrical problems it should still make some boost so as boosted_rb26 said check all your plumbing connections, the degreaser may have helped a hose slip off! perhaps!

thankxx heaps everi1..

it was the weirdest thing.. the car revs fine, it idles fine. it just won't come on boost...

anyway, i leave the car running for 10mins, 3 hours later took it for a drive and everything's back to normal..

so i still got no idea what was going on in the first place.. could it b because of too much water in the intercooler, because i sprayed i fair bit in there.....oh well, a lesson for every1, don't panic like me, i was getting instructions from this forum on how to remove the turbo... damn, could of gone wit a hi-flow

why the **** would you spray water in your intercooler?

because there's flies and sh.t in it, so i couldn't help it..............

anyway, just when i thought the car's back to normal again. the nex day took it out, it was fine for about 10mins. then it happen again, can't even go pass 2500rpm... surely some1 on here must of seen me on saturday ' a red r33 on tomkin highway moving slower than a donkey'....

so i went and saw a mechanic and found out the real problem.. water got in the engine.."where its got 2500 TWIN CAM NISSAN", somehow water got in there..

its all good now..hopefully... thanks everi1

Yeah I had a similar problem after my car got detailed and they OVER detailed my engine bay too :hellpisd: . I would get to boost and it would cough a splutter.

Water got in the AFM and the plugs. I pulled the AFM off and made sure it was dry. The plugs also had water on them - Ken from Hyperdrive told me to leave the car idling for like 10 - 15 or so minutes to dry the plugs out... it made it alot better.... but it took a few days of driving before everything was back to normal.

thats what i tried to say  :ufo:  

chekck your afm first, before you pay him to do the engine.

thanks man but i didn't hav to pay anything.... i know the guy so i spoke to him and he said to take the plate off and leave it for a couple hours to dry... and i think its working, took it for a long drive 2day and everithing's fine

and Liz could of told me that earlier.. i was all stressed out Friday night and saturday morning... don't know if every1's feeling the same way but my car is like family 2 me, if something happens to it i can't eat n sleep probably...

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
