Havung Some Trouble With My Gtr

I was driving home about 10 minutes ago and I gave it some stick, (in the legal speed limit of course) and all of a sudden my car started to sound almost like a WRX.

Even when it's idling and I tap the pedal.

And it had lost a lot of power

There was no smoke at all and temps where all normal.

My car is standard apart from a zort and panel filter, and 10 PSI boost.

It's a 1991 model with 140KMs on the clock.

The motor it self is only about 33,000 KMS old.

Making 221Killowatts at the rear wheels.

Also the mechanic noticed oil was leaking from the back of the second turbo which was due to be repaired with in the week.

I’m not that experienced with GTR's so this is a bit of a worry to me as I have not long owned the car.

Any help would be great.

Well, if you are really worried about the motor you need to do a compression test. But probably the easiest place to start is to pull the spark plugs and replace any that look fouled. If you have a compression gauge you can check that at the same time.

yeh happened to me too! was driving, then all the sudden car was sounding that a wrx. i thought it was mad at first but realised it lost alot of power n didnt feel the same. did compression test, found out one of the spark plugs was gone, so it was pretty much running on 5 cylinders..

What number cylinder died on you?

When i change my coils i am going to also change my turbos. One of my turbos is leaking oil, (second one) which are still under wantry so iam going to get both checked and if needed get both re-built. Which iam going to sell them because i am going to get a pair of N1's and change ECU while iam at it..

If any one is interested in buying them PM me...

it was the third cylinder... thats wat the compression test showed...

well when i had those checked out, i also found a rattling sound inside the engine. apparently tensioner was worn out n loose, needed replacing. also i had to change one of the cams coz it was cracked and change timing belt. these cars man... haha

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think my main complaint with your idea is that there is a veneer of idealism spread across it. You want the simple numbers to make it easier, but all they will do is make it easier for someone to come to the wrong conclusion because the fine details will kick them in the nuts. As it is right now, the tiny bit of arithmetic is NOT the obstacle to understanding what will fit and what will not fit. The reality of trying it is what determines whether it will fit. If you had a "standard rule" that R34 GTT guards have that magic 100mm space from the hub face to whichever side you were worried about, and someone said "excellent, this wheel is only 98mm in that direction, I'll just go spend $4k on them and jam them on my sick ride".....they would just as likely find out that the "standard rule" is not true because the rear subframe is offset to one side by a fairly typical (but variable) 8mm on their car and they only have 92mm on one side and 108 on the other.

      It still combines inches with mm, especially when you have .5 inches involved, and mm and inches that can go in either direction. This would give a clear idea on both sides of the rim, right away, with no arithmetic. Even better if somebody gives you the dimensions of the arch of multiple cars. i.e GTR may be 125mm, a A80 Supra may be 117mm, or something along those lines. Yes, you can 'know' that going from a 10in rim to a 10.5in rim with the same offset moves both sides about 6mm, but you still have to 'know' that and do the math. Often it's combined. People are going from 9.5 +27 to 10.5 +15. You may do the math to know it, but if it was going from (I had to go look it up to be sure) 241mm/2 - 27 - 93.5mm from the center line to (more math) 266/2 - 15 (118mm) from the center line. Versus 93mm vs 118mm. It's right there. If you know you have a GTT with 100mm guards you can see right away that one is close to flush and the other absolutely won't work. And when someone says "Oh the GTR is 120mm" suddenly you see that the 10.5 +15 is about perfect. (or you go and buy rims with approximately 118mm outward guard space) I think it's safe to say that given one of the most common questions in all modified cars is "How do offsets work" and "How do I know if wheels will fit on my car" that this would be much simpler... Of course, nothing will really change and nobody is going to remanufacture wheels and ditch inches and offset based on this conversation :p We'll all go "18x9+30 will line up pretty close to the guards for a R34 GTT (84mm)" but 'pretty close' is still not really defined (it is now!) and if you really care you still have go measure. Yes it depends on camber and height and dynamic movement, but so do all wheels no matter what you measure it for.

      But offsets are simple numbers. 8" wheel? Call it 200mm, near enough. +35 offset? OK, so that means the hub face is that far out from the wheel centreline. Which is 2s of mental arithmetic to get to 65mm to outer edge and 135mm to inner. It's hardly any more effort for any other wheel width or offset. As I said, I just close my eyes and can see a picture of the wheel when given the width and offset. That wouldn't help me trust that a marginal fitment would actually go in and clear everything, any more than the supposedly simple numbers you're talking about. I dunno. Maybe I just automatically do numbers.

      Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..
