I have a non-turbo R34 and the exhaust keeps popping. a mechinic told me that it was the high tension leads and that i will need new ones? another mate said that there aren't any leads there!

so i was wondering if there are any or not and how do i fix this popping noise?

My exhaust pops all the time on my R33 N/A.

It has a 4" catback 5" tip. IF your car does it while slowing doing its the depressurisation in the exhaust (apparently). I wouldnt be concerned about it, unless it does it while ur driving along normally.

You're running a 4" exhaust on an N/A 2.5L! Jeezus christ.

When slowing down, you will find that the cylinder isn't getting complete combustion (Because of pressures between inlet manifold/cylinder/exhaust and basically, since the revs are up, but no huge volume of air turn over, the exhaust sucks out alot harder, and it also stops alot of the combustion from taking place inside the engine, and draws it out into the exhaust where it "pops"

Normally reffered to as cackling.

But if it pops like back firing, time for a tune (Although mine creates some MASSIVE back fires when using second gear to hold speed down steep hills (60km/h speed limit) and just tapping the throttle on and off slightly creates even bigger ones... Good way to get people off your ass... :laugh:

    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
    • Ah, to clarify if the car has already been tuned and has been modified and you want to go from a oem cat to a 100 cell or decat or vice versa.Are you saying that the car doesn't need to be tuned after a cat change if it's already been tuned?
    • This has been covered a bazillion times but google wet boiling point vs dry. Motul is only good when it's fresh, once it absorbs moisture it gets pretty average very quickly. So as above, make sure you change it if you're going racing. I run the Endless brake fluid in mind, but only because a mate is a distributor and it's cheap. It's not quite as good as SRF but I'm running 380mm rotors on a Skyline so it's not like they get hot.
    • That's the thing, they still add it and it makes fuel cheaper, implying adding 10% of it drops the cost of 91 by what, 5c a liter? I remember when it was barely half the price of 98. Because you know, 85% of what is in the fuel is way cheaper than 91 fuel is by volume.
    • Auto electricians that do repairs on automotive AC systems can source service kits. I don't know where they actually source them. I do know that there is one available for the R34 comp that I would need it for. If you have to pay someone to dismantle, clean and do needed repairs and fit kit contents, then you'd probably end up spending a good fraction of the cost of a new one. I would not be paying for that, because I would be doing it myself. My mechanic (bro-in-law) will happily source what is needed. Back in the day (like in the 80s and 90s), rebuilding an AC compressor was the standard approach, same as for starter motors, alternators, etc, because new replacements were v. expensive. After the China manufacturing boom and the rise of the disposable approach to everything, people just started throwing broken/worn stuff away and not rebuilding things.
