Hi everyone, i seem to have had this problem where the car jerks/ hesitates under full throttle/full boost especially on cooler days. This only happened after i boosted my RB20DEt to 1 bar. Initially i thought the fueling was insufficient and took it to the dyno to cehck the AFR and all was fine. Then replaced the plugs, initially didn't notice any jerks until after 10k kms. Yesterday i got the charge line pressurized with compressed air and founf out one of the hoses had a crack and my Intercooler (Stock side mount) was leaking ( The hissing sound of air escaping was pretty audible). Can these cause the jerks and why? is it because the AFM is maxing out to cope with the leaks?

If you have leaks you expect to be running extra rich, with doesnt gel with "Initially i thought the fueling was insufficient and took it to the dyno to cehck the AFR and all was fine."

So - what were the AFRs? Please post up the plot if u have it.

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust

      Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
