Hi everyone, while driving my 1990 r32 GT-R last night, an unusual rhythmic chuffing noise from the passenger side of the engine bay started occuring as it started to come into boost at highway speeds on a slight uphill. Power was down, felt flat and lifeless. It did this a few months ago as well and i thought it was the blow off valves leaking, so i replaced them with a greedy one mounted in the factory location. The unusal thing is though if you stop the car and restart it the problem is gone and drives ok... tried turning the key off and on whist driving didnt stop the problem, it has to come to a complete stop.. Car is stock save for trust exhaust and bar and plate cooler, boost at 1 bar. Any ideas?? Spark plugs have bee changed, compression checked, injectors flowed and tested, no ecu codes have been set.

Thanks for your reply rb26dett Im thinking turbo fault of some sort too, maybe wastegate??? does drop of on boost pressure slightly can be seen on the avcr graph. the turbos dont have excessive play no oil leaks and not noisy. Actually it hasnt done it in 2 days now and may take a month to do it again, the solution might be some new turbos!!

Check the turbo to manifold bolts aren't loose.

The tabs can work loose and allow the 4 nuts to come undone.

You may have to drop the turbo to block brace off under the car so as to get an accurate feel if it's loose.

Mine made a squealing sound , chuffing sound coming onto boost cos only 1 of the 2 were not tight.

Cheers

Ken

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
