Hey guys, today I was driving the stag, and decided to give it a bit of gas after driving it for about 5-10 minutes. Only from 0-50km or so. Usually the car has no troubles at all, however today was different. As the car reached around 3k+ it started to shudder a little.. Or to put it another way, the boost cuts off, then back on and off quite rapidly 1-2 times per second. Feels like the car is breaking then going then breaking.. You get the idea..

Really weird, this happened on the way to uni, then I warmed the car up, and tried to give it a little on the way home to see if the same thing would happen again... It did.

I checked my engine bay after the incident, and everything looked fine, no smoking, no odd smells, no signs of wear or oddities. It just seems extremely perculiar to happen all of a sudden.

The car has only done 55,000 odd kms (00 model series 2). If anyone could give some insight into this problem it would be much appreciated.

i seem to be experiencing the same thing... you done any mods recently. mine happened when i put my hi flo cat and dump in so i thought it could be hitting r&r. may just be a coincidence. also you may just be getting a missfire so check your plugs. thats my next thing to check

Hey bud, the only thing I've done recently is throw in an apexi pod. Only performance mods I have is a 3" from the cat. However since throwing on the pod (2-3 months ago) everything has been great until today. I just can't put my finger on it.

from my limited knowledge of Stageas and Skylines.. my money would be on the coilpacks as Cy mentioned.

I think its an " across the board " problem with those motors.

Apparently you can tape them up ( provides a bit of insulation / stops the spark jumping to ground )

or you can get em new for around $550 I beleive.

Croydon Racing Developments have an ad somewhere on here stating they will beat any price etc.

could be a number of issues.

what was the air temperature? was it real cold? could be R&R.

Id suggest changing plugs to .8mm gapped copper plugs, and silicone up all the coil packs, use Selleys Industrial Silicone Sealant 401, high temperature stuff seeing its in your motor, get it from a hardware store for $12. Apply liberally all around the coil packs to stop wasted spark.

If that doesnt help, purchase a safc2 and get a dynotune done, that'll map around the R&R if that is infact the problem.

Regret to inform, but it could also be your turbo spitting bits of the wheel off. It could be either of the wheels too, mine had a few chipped ceramic turbine wheels, and the nylon compressor wheel shattered completely when the shaft gave way!

I got that sort of shuddering just before my turbo blew about a year and a half ago.

when i upped the boost on mine without the controller,i blocked the hose with a fuse that was quite open,and had to change to a smaller one because the boost was doing the shudder,the smaller fuse fixed it and had no drama since,so to cut a long story short,maybe check all turbo hoses,the boost solenoid,make sure they are on properly,hope it helps

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
