obn topic, i am running the stock BOVs, with PFC, and a safe tune on it. mine backfires quite a bit. it even throws flames sometimes at high rpm. i believe it is quite safe, it is just running a tiny bit rich.

personally I like a good backfire on a gearchange or decel but " hey" thats just me :yes:

If you find it a problem there are a couple of things you can change on your PFC settings to remove or lessen the effect.

Firstly your accel pump settings are set quite high from factory with the PFC. So any slight blip on the throttle pumps in a fuel but little air. This hits the hot exhaust with the usual pop pop crack sound. You can even "make" it do it on a trailing throttle by tapping the throttle lightly on decel.

Dropping these accel back from the 4 or 5 ms factory down to 2 or 3ms improves things.

Secondly the bottom fuel row settings have a big effect on trailing throttle overrun and can by reduced (carefully) to reduce exhaust popping. The PFC does have fuel cut on overrun I know but these bottom row settings do have an effect.

Cheers,

Mike

      Thanks for the update I truly appreciate it. I was trying to figure out the sensors.

      Thanks for the add

      My son recently purchased a 93 Skyline GTS25 (NA), I am hoping to get some insight as to what potential this car has.  I have auto mechanical experience, and I am capable of working on this vehicle, but I know nothing about it.  Where's the best site to purchase parts (maintenance, repair, upgrades)? What kind of upgrades are available?  Thanks again and I look forward to any information that you all have to offer!   Darrick

      RB25 Oil Pump Regulator Washer???

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      This is a pump I have used in the past; no oil ever leaks or gets past the regulator plug.I was trying to understand what caused Nissan to not only mention it in their manuals but to also state it's a replacement part yet the part cannot be found on my pump or on any new pumps and there doesn't seem to have ever been a replacement part#.  First time I've noticed something strange like this from NIssan.

      yeah I have brown peeking out from in between some metal sheets close to the hood hinges. Strut towers look fine, even around the edges. some images https://imgur.com/a/brGt3Tu the one that looks the worst is the panel(s) going away right near the firewall on the passenger side, from underneath. Driver side does not look that bad.
