My car backfires relatively often when backing off the throttle, especially on warm days. Does this do damage to any components?

I imagine that it cant be too good for the cat, what about the exhaust side of the turbo?

According to what I have read so far, misfiring can shorten the turbocharger's life drastically (damage to the turbine blades) and place the entire exhaust system in shock.. it doesn't sound very good.

My r33 gts-t backfires at high rpm when backing off the gas... pop pop pop i have re-gapped my plugs to .8mm too and it didnt happen before that so im guessing its got something to do with that...

This doesnt sound good...

Instead of starting a new thread - Does anyone know how to suppress backfiring?

Is it just a matter of tuning or is it usually something more sinister - eg cat?

your talking about antilag aka missfiring system

Primordial is talking about something else

sounds very normal, nothing to worry about. its a case of running a stock ecu, too much fuel, hot exhuast and this creats backfires or pops, it is more common on warm days because ur engine wiill be hotter along with everyother part in ur car

Thanks Michael,

This sounds correct.I'm running a PFC so it mustn't be tuned properly? How exactly to you lean out mixtures when throttle is dropped off? This isnt really possible with PFC is it?

Its sounds right though... it just a hot exhaust and too much fuel..

Great for scaring pedestrians tho :(

My 34 also does this a little bit but its more of a babble gurgle light popping than large backfireing. It did this straight after a power fc and tune. What bov are you using a atmo one will cause backfires.

if the tune is lean on decel it can do it also. i had a pop at idle due to a vacuum leak, which was making the car run lean.

but just having a big exhaust usually adds a slight pop since when backing off air is trying to force its way back up the exhaust.

Dude do you run a atmo BOV, or do you have a recirculated one. a while ago i had to replace the headlights on a cop car due to my atmo BOV, thats when i was told to put the stcok recirculation system back on and is misteriously dissapeared. oh yea and i run a big exhaust 3.75 inch straight back with 1 resonator, no cat and a muffler in the end, and i dont pop. have it cheked it might safe you a engine build due to turbo failure. :yes:

my guess is the problems is caused by blocking the BOV the AFM puts in fuel for air that isnt there. causing a backfire.

try using your plumb back again and see if that helps.

also look for any intake leaks after the afm,

an aftermarket ecu which removes the afm will solve this and much more.

that's actually wrong... the ECU only dumps in more fuel when your using an atmospheric BOV.... if you've blocked your BOV, all the air still remains in the system and the correct air/fuel mixture is obtained.

he is running an aftermarket ecu, so it doesnt matter.....!

      Front tower strut brace options

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Anything for a 2003-2005 G35 will fit an M35. Just be mindful about clearance if you're running a plenum spacer or runner spacer.

      You know how I know I'm getting old? Because I feel this quote jells with me and SAU Forums, ha ha ha. I've gotten lost a few times as I had muscle memory to scroll to where I wanted on my phone and just click, now I'm lost... Ha ha ha     "I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary."

      Rb25 into r31/wont idle

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You don't lose spark if your battery isolator isn't wired correctly and the ECU still has power from the alternator.   Car has an epic wiring problem. Sounds like power connected really really badly in places. Possibly a power pin on a ground pin for the ECU, and constant power in locations that should be switched ignition.   It needs someone good at diagnosing electrical, a good multimeter, and someone with the wiring diagrams to match the engine loom that has been put into the car, and wiring diagrams for the body side of things from the car.

      Front tower strut brace options

      By PNM35 · Posted

      Hi folks, what options exist for PNM35 or what models share the same dimensions and fitment for the front top of tower strut brace. I have seen a few options pop up through Google, the Ultra Racing Australia for one. I have seen some eBay ones that claim they fit C34 and M35 but can't find details if to work out if its true. Also found Taiko / TEMA4x4 claim the one type fits: - Nissan Stagea (2-nd gen; M35) 2001 - 2007, - Nissan Skyline (V35, HV35, NV35, V35, PV35) 2001 - 2007 - Infiniti G35, G35X (3-rd gen; V35) 2002 - 2006 But not sure how true that is. Anyone fitted one or know of someone using one and can confirm what does fit?

      AC Compressor

      By Butters · Posted

      I got the full kit.   The compressor as above is much smaller and lighter.  Also quieter. Bracket is visually mint and much lighter. The dryer and heat exchanger(rad) are one unit. Also smaller and lighter.  Much more room for an oil cooler. The fan I got was a bit Meh and I might change it.   And above all else it is more efficient, tested a good 3-4 degree's cooler than the old system, which is a lot. Disclaimer though - It wasn't a back to back test given different days. It really does feel colder though(always).  And this example is in my car with that crusty looking old compressor, not new vs new
