I have been on the receiving end of a Bee*R limiter in the workshop.. 26 in a gts4, was standing on the back left of the car talking to someone when I heard the engine start to rev.. glanced at the exhaust pipe then BANG BANG BANG it hit the Bee*R limiter.. my left ear was ringing for several hours after :)

haha sorry bubba should have warned u b4 we did it

i got a few noobs questions lol,

my car frequently pops between gear changes and when decelerating, i got a atmo bov too, does that mean flames coming out every time it pops? ;) coz as u can guess i cant see my exhaust while im driving lol

and popping a lot doesnt mean misfire right...??

I was told it isn't flames or missfire its just excess fuel being dumped in the exhaust and hence the pops. correct me if i'm wrong though.

i used to get heaps of pops on decel with the bov open about 30% but as soon as i got a pfc in it and tuned it stopped straight away or if i turned it to fully plumback.

Apparently I get flames when it's more of a dull "whop" rather than the big "bangs", hence my theory is thus:

A BANG is the unburnt fuel igniting at the front of the exhaust and the flame/whop is the unburnt fuel making its' way to the muffler before it ignites.

</end-theory>

the flaim throwing kits that work with a switch and cupple of sparks in the exohst throw nice flaims for a long time without too much noise WOOOSH sound n they usualy throw flaims out far too.. iv installed one on a friends WRX and it looked mad how ever it did kill his starter motor with time..

Bee R will reduce the life of your turbo so its not realy worth that lil bangs that it gives out. or use a computer that has anti lag.

imho if you got no cat usualy ull get a lil bang anyways when u back off, no need for pushing it n runing nice parts n paint..

i get popping sound too from my exhaust ... its just a simple lousy twin pipe .. plus im driving a non turbo skyline .. could it be the fuel pump or something which is not working properly .. i really dont expect a very stock non turbo skyline to make popping sounds ..

Flames and popping sounds and extremely powerful cars don't always go hand in hand. If your NA is running a bit rich, you will have excess fuel in the exhaust. Excess fuel + hot exhaust = potential for flamage :D

Usually the cat will catch most of the unburnt fuel, but if there is no cat, no reason why you won't get flames for the reasons above. Also, popping sound is normally infront of the cat, ie no flames. Flames are usually more of a whooshing sound :thumbsup:

my cat is gutted, and she spits out small blue flames if i give it acceleration and quickly let go, or if i stretch out a gear and then change slowly.

i knew mine blue flames when changing gear but i went on the performance car cruse on Friday night and some of the guys (Ivan and friends) said it was blowing a 2 Foot flame continuously when i opened it up.

3.5"exhaust

11Psi

120mm THICK! drag front mount

spitfire coilpacks

iridum plugs

= big ass flames when hammering and very hot rear bumper!

might have something to do with the 10-1 a/f ratio. lol

cheers!

    • Interesting that it has 2 to the USB stick. Are the ones to the USB stick different? Or labelled anything at all? Telstra 4G is Band 28 is the long range one you want, it's 700mHz. I'm trying to do some reading on the Cel-Fi stuff, but I can't find any decent info online that makes me feel comfortable being able to work out the sort of antennas we could get away to swapping it over to. The antennas I'm starting to do some stuff with at work, are a transparent antenna. They're designed to stick onto the window. Which means you wouldn't even have the antenna outside the car. Volkswagen have just started using the exact same types of antennas on some of their new cars (And from the same antenna manufacturer). But, RF stuff is a bit of a dark art some days, and getting it wrong in your car could make for a terrible waste of money trying to swap antennas :S
    • I'm not going to lie Duncan, Saturday and Sunday were pretty rough days. The sort of work I was doing would previously have ended up with me spending about an hour and a half chatting with Neil. Firstly about something I had a question about, and then both of us rambling off on tangents.  I think how Neil did things, and his attitude to getting it done is helping me in part to get this stuff done. Then I can actually do the things I enjoy more easily  
    • Talked to another R34 GT-T owner, he said bonnet of his car once fell and slammed from full height because of strong wind at a car show and nothing was damaged or broken, so I guess I'm just overthinking some things but yeah, just making sure I'm not damaging the car anyhow cause wanna keep it for a long time.
    • I would say 100% that it doesn't matter at all. I have an Al bonnet and I drop it sometimes, push it others. Have done so for 25 years and there's no way to tell that either has caused any problems (because there are no problems).
    • yeah, a black 4 door HR, stock AT RB20DE. Was a pretty good daily summer car, it was kept in a garage during winter but previous owner was fighting rust so most of the car was covered with rust undercoating, the trunk, floorpan, it started to rust underneath so I thought it would be better to find other chassis that was taken care better and do rust preventions myself, at least I would know where keep my attention at. Plans are simple, enjoy the car as much as I can, mostly on summer of course, winter here is long and not kind to 90s JDM, I wanna keep it mostly stock like, I'm not a huge fan of GT-R look or any body kits so gonna keep it as metal as possible haha, something more balanced look wise and yeah, work on performance, I was thinking about RB25DET but 20DET actually feels fun, as long as it's reliable I think I might keep it.
