hEY BRONX,

I have a similar prob on my 34GTT, I have 3inch full turbo back zorst, pod filter in custom cold air box, boost set to 12psi with manual boost controller, short shift kit and thats it. Dunno if my ECU has been programmed to handle this boost by previous owner. Anyways my issue:

My car revs sweetly all the way to 4800ish rpm ( full boost of 12psi kicks in at around 2500-3000rpm). Then from 4.8k to around 5200-5400rpm I get that sort of popping sound u talking of and no acceleration, like the car has suddenly become NA, dunno what boost it is on at this point, but theres just no feeling of boost/turbo at this band. Then from 5400 to 6800rpm the car REALLY flies - constant 12psi and smooth revving all the way ( it still never hits the 7000rpm redline but cuts off around 6800rpm???) Why dont I k\hit 7rpm?

It really bugs me as to why it ( the flat spot / NA feeling and popping ) happens on this 4.8-5.4k rpm band ONLY, do you guys recommend I do the plugs - NGK Iridiums?? I'm sure its not the coil packs.

I'm gona do a proper FMIC and NIstune next year though.

cheers RON :(

The exact symptoms of either plugs and/or coilpacks: you have the misfire EVERY skyline gets. There's a massive sticky in the general (I think) section.

1. Replace plugs. You can buy either pre-gapped to 1.1 or 0.8mm. Smaller gap means less chance of misfire but less quality if spark.

2. Get copper or cheap bosch plats. As said many times on these forums, most people find the plats and iridiums last barely longer, or less, than the coppers. It's better to buy coppers for cheap and then at least your engine has fresh plugs all the time (they'll last ~5000km).

3. If the mis is still there, time for new coilpacks.

Misfires suck, will be good to have it fixed mate.

i wonder why this forum doesent have the thumbs up or you like function for other members posts, would come in handy, show how much contribution people are bringing to the forums. i would be giving out a lot of thumbs up to all of you :(

    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
    • I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.
    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
