what you mean 'jumping'?

airpod shouldnt cause any issues like that, its just an exposed filter.

Only thing i can think of is if its misfiring past 5000rpm but that would be related to worn out coilpacks and not related to airpod

on the r33 putting a pod on there shouldnt cause any problems at all. sounds like something else is wrong somewhere like ur plugs or coilpacks.

as for your r34 im curious is it fluttering cos u also have a front mount? if so thats cool but i hope u havent followed that trend of blocking off the standard blow off valve or whatever people do to make it flutter. i know 3 idiots i warned about that who did it anyway and all 3 blew their turbos

well what my mate did on his stock 33 is this:

1/ put a pod on

2/did a burn out

3/car started 'jumping' going from low to high revs vice versa

4/he put the stock air filer back on

5/car went back to normal

so made me think it was the poddy aswell lol

as for my 34 i dont have a fmic, all i have is a full atmospheric bov and a custom turbo back exhaust which i got just yesterday!!

but only flutters on low revs...so i think its ok? ;)

flutter on stock turbo is never ok

as for your mates R33 and his fully sick uleh pd doing his fully sick skidzzzzz

did you check if the AFM plug was plugged in and not just loosely plugged??? could also be vaccum leak? but if by putting a stock filter fixed it then ye i dunno. maybe it was the car telling he hates you lol

hmmm the blow of valve usually doesnt flutter it should make a whoosh noise unless its one of those VL turbo types. but yeh ur mates car however was it low on fuel? doin that burnout could have sucked in some gunk from the bottom of his fuel tank and thats what the car was running on. otherwise like ash said check the air flow meter is plugged in properly. other than that usually if u treat ur car like shit then it behaves like shit

It's the cars way of telling your mate he is an idiot.

But most likely the AFM was bumped/moved and not happy by the sound of that.

Oh - and good luck with your ATMO BOV - your car will probably start stalling and overfuelling. ;)

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
