Just thought that I would share a problem I had, that some others may have had, and how I solved it. If anyone can give me some advice on this issue and if I am just covering up another prob. it would be appreciated.

I recently (seems like it was after it got pretty cold down here) had the problem of my car jerking and sort of stuttering when I floored it, and between 5000-7000 rpm. It only happened when I was on full throttle, and the car accelerated perfectly on part throttle. After cleaning the airflow meter and airfilter (didn't check plugs as they are 3000km old iridiums- gapped at the factory 1.1mm as my car is dead stock apart from a K&N pod) which didn't make a difference, I rememberd that I had once (10 months ago) adjusted the accelerator cable a bit tighter. I simply loosened the bolt adjustment off a couple of mm, and everything seems to be good.

Can anyone explain what happened??? Could I have any further problems?

I experience this 'afm' cut at higher boost levels on cool nights/mornings it seems to be especially when the car is cold.

I generally knock boost down to around 14psi, I can then rev it out to just over 7000rpm where I change. I generally run around 1.1-1.2bar of boost on the stocker snail. For how much longer is anyones guess. :(

I'm still running the stock ecu so it does get a little rich up top so this will help keep the exhaust gas temps down which will help the turbo last a little longer.

Have you removed the mesh on the AFM by any chance?

Upon removing the mesh I noticed a slight decrease in lag and over all slightly more gutsy feeling. However I also noticed that the boost cut on cool nights/mornings began around that time also.

Who knows.. :D

I have an AFM cut when i run anything over 1bar of boost. i think its maxing out the AFM signal to the ECU. only way to remedy this is to get a fuel cut defender or new/rechipped ecu.

as for gapping the plugs, i gap mine at 0.8mm

if you have a boost controller get a new one.

my dad had the same problem with his car and at 5000rpm in 3rd gear the car would jerk and shake.

we found out later it was the boost controller so if you have one please exchange for a newy

cheers

my dad said its either actuator is opening rihgt up giving u full boost, or the turbo has a crack in it, it may also be you might have a leak somewhere.

his one was becasue of the boost controller but your may be differnt.

cheers

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think my main complaint with your idea is that there is a veneer of idealism spread across it. You want the simple numbers to make it easier, but all they will do is make it easier for someone to come to the wrong conclusion because the fine details will kick them in the nuts. As it is right now, the tiny bit of arithmetic is NOT the obstacle to understanding what will fit and what will not fit. The reality of trying it is what determines whether it will fit. If you had a "standard rule" that R34 GTT guards have that magic 100mm space from the hub face to whichever side you were worried about, and someone said "excellent, this wheel is only 98mm in that direction, I'll just go spend $4k on them and jam them on my sick ride".....they would just as likely find out that the "standard rule" is not true because the rear subframe is offset to one side by a fairly typical (but variable) 8mm on their car and they only have 92mm on one side and 108 on the other.

      It still combines inches with mm, especially when you have .5 inches involved, and mm and inches that can go in either direction. This would give a clear idea on both sides of the rim, right away, with no arithmetic. Even better if somebody gives you the dimensions of the arch of multiple cars. i.e GTR may be 125mm, a A80 Supra may be 117mm, or something along those lines. Yes, you can 'know' that going from a 10in rim to a 10.5in rim with the same offset moves both sides about 6mm, but you still have to 'know' that and do the math. Often it's combined. People are going from 9.5 +27 to 10.5 +15. You may do the math to know it, but if it was going from (I had to go look it up to be sure) 241mm/2 - 27 - 93.5mm from the center line to (more math) 266/2 - 15 (118mm) from the center line. Versus 93mm vs 118mm. It's right there. If you know you have a GTT with 100mm guards you can see right away that one is close to flush and the other absolutely won't work. And when someone says "Oh the GTR is 120mm" suddenly you see that the 10.5 +15 is about perfect. (or you go and buy rims with approximately 118mm outward guard space) I think it's safe to say that given one of the most common questions in all modified cars is "How do offsets work" and "How do I know if wheels will fit on my car" that this would be much simpler... Of course, nothing will really change and nobody is going to remanufacture wheels and ditch inches and offset based on this conversation :p We'll all go "18x9+30 will line up pretty close to the guards for a R34 GTT (84mm)" but 'pretty close' is still not really defined (it is now!) and if you really care you still have go measure. Yes it depends on camber and height and dynamic movement, but so do all wheels no matter what you measure it for.

      But offsets are simple numbers. 8" wheel? Call it 200mm, near enough. +35 offset? OK, so that means the hub face is that far out from the wheel centreline. Which is 2s of mental arithmetic to get to 65mm to outer edge and 135mm to inner. It's hardly any more effort for any other wheel width or offset. As I said, I just close my eyes and can see a picture of the wheel when given the width and offset. That wouldn't help me trust that a marginal fitment would actually go in and clear everything, any more than the supposedly simple numbers you're talking about. I dunno. Maybe I just automatically do numbers.

      Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..
