Power Loss On Downshifts, Bouncing Idle And Slight Hesitation At Specific Rev Point -R34Gtt


Recommended Posts

i'd say try a larger BOV that vents to atmosphere with a softer spring pressure....keep the airflow going in the one direction....feel sorry for you guys in Aussie with all your legal drama.

That will cause tune Issues with the afm though that will need addressing.

yeah but they'd be easier to fix. his mixtures will will be richer for a short time when he closed the throttle....could be sorted out whenever he wanted.

A dual stage BOV would be better, stage one plumb back stage two atmo, that way there is some air going back to AFM and some well not, the trick is tuning it to get the right amount

Well took off dipstick and can smell fuel big time. Will be taking off fuel pressure regulator vacuum hoses to look for fuel later. Stay tuned..this could be it, a leaking reg.

Thanks, is it better to get new though, never know when the used ones let go- will check if I can use 33 one on a 34- i think the 34 neo has 2 dampers n 1 reg

If a fuel reg is bad or fuel related problem on a skyline not holding pressure

There is the pulsation damper on the fuel rail to check

Turn it off and check how far the screw on the damper is sticking out and leave it overnight

Check if it has gone in and moved if so the fuel pressure is leaking if not all good

You were complaining about the fuel economy and the tuner has already told you the o2 is getting lazy

If a bad o2 was stuck too lean every time in closed loop it would try to dump fuel in to try to make the mixtures right

Check if your o2 signal is fluctuating when warm

Should be swinging high and low every second

Also with the intake I would try to modify the existing one as moving the afm further or closer to the turbo will affect the tune

And your std bov may not be flowing enough air for that turbo so it will still suffer from reversion and the std bov will leak

The only way a fuel reg can dump fuel in manifold is through the vac/boost line, start car and pull line off and look, for enough fuel to cause these problems it will flow out at you

I have personally never seen a factory fuel reg go like that

so is the standard BOV still considered adequate for these size turbo's, eg GT30/GT35..

Ive seen aftermarket ones and they come with a range of springs, eg 6psi , so if using that then boosting under 6psi would give a shhhzutututu which might be a way around the legal

side for people that want that, but you'd still have some reversion is that right?

On a stock rubber intake, the BOV return is quite close to the turbo inlet, so maybe modify the intake pipe to mimick that, so the entry point is close to the inlet and theres

a couple of turns before the AFM is connected.

I'm still using a stock bov with a 3076. I crushed it to apply more spring pressure so it doesn't leak.

Previously had reversion issues, modified return angle in inlet pipe and it fixed it.

Was surprising as the return was angled slightly to the turbo previously but obviously not enough.

It's a very simple thing to change, angled nd is very likely the cause of Ron ' s issues.

Anywhere that welds ally can do it. And cheap. And quickly.

thats exactly what I will be doing tomorrow morning - check for fuel in the reg and damper vacuum hoses. Hopefully I will find fuel and confirm a dead reg - can i use R33 reg on 34 /possibly wolverine's one or do I need a R34 one - wreckers or buy new? Hopefully no touch up tuning required, but how to check if its providing the req. fuel pressure under load - else it will lean out n go bang haha..

I do remember when DVS Jez had a go at my 'stock' car 3 years ago he mentioned the fuel pressure's playing funny and advised me to get a spare r34 reg, which I got thanks to Johnny, so the second time round I went up to Jez with the spare reg, we didnt end up fitting it cos it was alrite then.. Now I have to look for that little reg, dunno where I put it or if it still there lol..

And yes I use a stock 'crushed' bov like Ben C34 does.

^ lol that was soooooo long ago aye..

I have access to a hand held wideband, happy to spend a few hours diagnosing your car.. payment = beer :D

no worries mate will hit you up if need be, let me test a few other bits over a couple weekends - fuel reg, iron out boost leaks, earths, new O2 sensor etc; I have decided not to get the wideband cos of extra costs of equipment itself, weld bung away from turbine housing, touching up tune etc..

Do u guys get ur NGK O2 sensors from repco/autobarn/bursons etc?

I still prefer to change it and keep it enabled as it was tuned with it - do any of the R34 NEO people use the r33 NGK O2 sensors with the plugs cut off and wires crimped together? NGK dont make a R34 one, rang em up. Else the universal PEC O2 sensor from Vulture Motorsport is what I got and its gone funny after just 3 years!

    • Jdm DC2R is also nice for a FF car compared to the regular hatches of the time.
    • Now that the break-in period for both clutch and transmission is nearly over I'd like to give some tips before I forget about everything that happened, also for anyone searching up how to do this job in the future: You will need at least 6 ton jack stands at full extension. I would go as far as to say maybe consider 12 ton jack stands because the height of the transmission + the Harbor Freight hydraulic platform-style transmission jack was enough that it was an absolute PITA getting the transmission out from under the car and back in. The top edge of the bellhousing wants to contact the subframe and oil pan and if you're doing this on the floor forget about trying to lift this transmission off the ground and onto a transmission jack from under the car. Also do not try to use a scissor jack transmission lift. You have to rotate the damn thing in-place on the transmission jack which is hard enough with an adjustable platform and a transmission cradle that will mostly keep the transmission from rolling off the jack but on a scissor lift with a tiny non-adjustable platform? Forget it. Use penetrating oil on the driveshaft bolts. I highly recommend getting a thin 6 point combination (box end + open end) wrench for both the rear driveshaft and front driveshaft and a wrench extension. These bolts are on tight with very little space to work with and those two things together made a massive difference. Even a high torque impact wrench is just the wrong tool for the job here and didn't do what I needed it to do. If your starter bolts aren't seized in place for whatever reason you can in fact snake in a 3/8 inch ratchet + 6 point standard chrome socket up in there and "just" remove the bolts for the starter. Or at least I could. It is entirely by feel, you can barely fit it in, you can barely turn the stupid ratchet, but it is possible. Pull the front pipe/downpipe before you attempt to remove the transmission. In theory you don't have to, in practice just do it.  When pulling the transmission on the way out you don't have to undo all the bolts holding the rear driveshaft to the chassis like the center support bearing and the rear tunnel reinforcement bar but putting the transmission back in I highly recommend doing this because it will let you raise the transmission without constantly dealing with the driveshaft interfering in one way or another. I undid the bottom of the engine mount but I honestly don't know that it helped anything. If you do this make sure you put a towel on the back of the valve cover to keep the engine from smashing all the pipes on the firewall. Once the transmission has been pulled back far enough to clear the dowels you need to twist it in place clockwise if you're sitting behind the transmission. This will rotate the starter down towards the ground. The starter bump seems like it might clear if you twist the transmission the other way but it definitely won't. I have scraped the shit out of my transmission tunnel trying so learn from my mistake. You will need a center punch and an appropriate size drill bit and screw to pull the rear main seal. Then use vice grips and preferably a slide hammer attachment for those vice grips to yank the seal out. Do not let the drill or screw contact any part of the crank and clean the engine carefully after removing the seal to avoid getting metal fragments into the engine. I used a Slide Hammer and Bearing Puller Set, 5 Piece from Harbor Freight to pull the old pilot bearing. The "wet paper towel" trick sucked and just got dirty clutch water everywhere. Buy the tool or borrow it from a friend and save yourself the pain. It comes right out. Mine was very worn compared to the new one and it was starting to show cracks. Soak it in engine oil for a day in case yours has lost all of the oil to the plastic bag it comes in. You may be tempted to get the Nismo aftermarket pilot bearing but local mechanics have told me that they fail prematurely and if they do fail they do far more damage than a failed OEM pilot bushing. I mentioned this before but the Super Coppermix Twin clutch friction disks are in fact directional. The subtle coning of the fingers in both cases should be facing towards the center of the hub. So the coning on the rearmost disk closest to the pressure plate should go towards the engine, and the one closest to the flywheel should be flipped the other way. Otherwise when you torque down the pressure plate it will be warped and if you attempt to drive it like this it will make a very nasty grinding noise. Also, there is in fact an orientation to the washers for the pressure plate if you don't want to damage the anodizing. Rounded side of the washer faces the pressure plate. The flat side faces the bolt head. Pulling the transmission from the transfer case you need to be extremely careful with the shift cover plate. This part is discontinued. Try your best to avoid damaging the mating surfaces or breaking the pry points. I used a dead blow rubber hammer after removing the bolts to smack it sideways to slide it off the RTV the previous mechanic applied. I recommend using gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket to try and keep the ATF from leaking out of that surface which seems to be a perpetual problem. Undoing the shifter rod end is an absolute PITA. Get a set of roll pin punches. Those are mandatory for this. Also I strongly, strongly recommend getting a palm nailer that will fit your roll pin punch. Also, put a clean (emphasis on clean) towel wrapped around the back end of the roll pin to keep it from shooting into the transfer case so you can spend a good hour or two with a magnet on a stick getting it out. Do not damage the shifter rod end either because those are discontinued as well. Do not use aftermarket flywheel bolts. Or if you do, make sure they are exactly the same dimensions as OEM before you go to install them. I have seen people mention that they got the wrong bolts and it meant having to do the job again. High torque impact wrench makes removal easy. I used some combination of a pry bar and flathead screwdriver to keep the flywheel from turning but consider just buying a proper flywheel lock instead. Just buy the OS Giken clutch alignment tool from RHDJapan. I hated the plastic alignment tool and you will never be confident this thing will work as intended. Don't forget to install the Nismo provided clutch fork boot. Otherwise it will make unearthly noises when you press the clutch pedal as it says on the little installation sheet in Japanese. Also, on both initial disassembly and assembly you must follow torque sequence for the pressure plate bolts. For some reason the Nismo directions tell you to put in the smaller 3 bolts last. I would not do this. Fully insert and thread those bolts to the end first, then tighten the other larger pressure plate bolts according to torque sequence. Then at the end you can also torque these 3 smaller bolts. Doing it the other way can cause these bolts to bind and the whole thing won't fit as it should. Hope this helps someone out there.
