to day i ran my 33 gtst down the 1/4 after a couple of passes at 12.2@123mph with a crap 60 foot of 2.2, i ran my best 60 foot at a 1.8 but right after i hit second gear a all mighty bang went off (back fire) and the car lost power for a split second so i came off the gas until 3/4 track and jump on it again and it felt fine ,i got back to the pit area and i noticed on when you lightly press the gas it runs like its missing ,i also noticed this in the last three runs leading up to my last run ,now i think its ???????? but what i would like is some input from some sau members on what they think it could be......thanks.

could be anything

sounds like plugs need changing most likely.

i had this problem with my car, it turned out to be the intercooler pipe

one of the vacuum lines came off the fuel pressure reg and for some reason (im not gonna pretend i know what im talking about here) it backfired and pretty much just died in the arse, it would idle but wouldnt accelerate, check your cooler piping, find the loose hose and reconnect it

ps. this was a right pain in the arse to diagnose and fix at 2am on scarb beach rd in the rain :P *shakes fist in a menacing fashion*

intercooler all good .

what i have noticed is that when the car is cold its fine andwhen its hot it plays up.

could be coil packs.i dont think its normal to happen so low in the rev range but i guess anything can happen ,there only 3 years old ,ill have to check them

has anyone got any more ideas

did you check the inside of the 90 deg bends the run through in in left inner gaurd

,

earth wire .....i noticed the earth wire on the turbo side is not there. does anyone have pics to what it is connected to cos ive got the earth wire i know one side is on the exhaust manifold but have no idea what it plugs into.

o and could this be part of my problem. :D

hey warlord

try pumping compressed air into your intake system with a compressor.

i do this about every 6 months as it shows up any leaks in the system.

the easiest way i have found is undoing the clamp where your afm is, getting a plastic freezer

bag putting over the afm and then reinstalling the afm and doing the clamp up.

you can then use a trigger nozzle from your air comp stick into the fuel reg hose and pump 2 bar

into your intake system.

a lot of leeks wont show up unless there under pressure so this is the quickest and easiest way that i have found

and works every time.

and also a poor earth wont do the engine any good put it that way.

thanks !!!!!

what do you recommend i use for a earth cable, and the best place to put it.

Yeah i do. Hope i can explain this well.

Behind the power steering resevoir, on the strut tower down near the turbo intake, there should be a little gold piece of metal, the black connector just slides over that.

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
