Hey guys, recently got my head rebuilt and headgasket replaced on my 32 gtr. Since the rebuild the car has been set to stock timing to run in before a new tune, noticing i got lots of compressor surge. Mostly between 2-3k rpm sometimes above. Reset the car to it's previous tune (prior to head rebuild) to see if anychange but nothing. I cant see anything out of place and the car is running n1 turbos and stock bov's, can anyone shed any light for me or point me in the right direction on how to fix this problem?

Darth vader huffing would be the most appropriate word for it, coming on boost the bovs open and shut constantly until above 3k then hold and boosts correctly, took the car to a tuner and they identified it as compressor surge during the test drive and they werent even able to give me an answer on how it's corrected so it's a little concerning

OK.

Darth Vader huffing is a common GTR problem called turbo shuffle. It is most pronounced on larger twin units (GTRS/-10s) but evident on even small upgrades like the N1s and HKS 2510s. I have personal experience with shuffle using 2510s and it was very amusing.

I have also known of a car with -10s to eliminate shuffle through the tune, but a retune at a different shop brought it right back.

So seeing as you have reset the tune it is obvious to me that you are simply experiencing shuffle which your old tune had cancelled out. A quick search will bring up HEAPS of results.

Get reading and good luck!

Sounding like shuffle, no?

-edit: beaten.

Don't worry, I am even surprised I was the first. By the time I was bothered to open the thread I thought it would have been resolved ages ago.

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 😛
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
