Lads,

Car bogs down from relatively low revs on WOT when coming on boost. Between 2-3500 revs. Its not really stuttering or surging, and not always. Just a dip/flat spot in power.

I havent replaced sparks or coilpacks. From reading threads coilpack failure seems to occur higher in the revs with a prominent stutter??

Mods.

FMIC return flow JJR

z32 NISTUNE

K&N FILTER

3inch exhaust

12psi

187rwkw

Maybe a leak, check all vac hoses, pipe clamps and the intercooler core for any small pinholes. If it's fine under cold wather conditions and losing boost response under warmer conditions (besides the fact it is warmer and oyu will lose a little power anyway) then a leak it may be.

Has it always been that way? What changed since it started happening? IIRC the z32 Nistune into R33 needs some magic (different TPSes?)

Yeah since ive added to EBC and Nistune. I rarely ever load it up like that so ive never noticed it too much before. Actually noticed it as a passenger for the first time.

Yes it has different tps being a z32 ecu and this causes a stutter on/off throttle....

Its hard to describe the fault without driving it. Ill replace sparks and coilpacks and see what happens. getting turbo highflowed soon so ill probably need to do that anyhow...

Cheers.

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all. 
    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
