hey guys just purchased a 99 gtr vspec and am having an issue when i come onto boost starts at about 4.5k rpm and gets worse as u accelerate. it feels like im losing traction and the cars rear will kick out to the right. i plan to taqke it to the shop to get it looked at but was just wondering if anyone had an idea of what it might be. It may be something as silly as a boost leak or something, ive come from an sti and ive had boost leaks before doesnt feel anything like that tho car shakes and feels like its jerking back and forth throughout the rev range. car is completely stock no mods other than pirelli p zeros all round no engine work done. if i let the boost build up slowly it wont freak out and cause the problem only when i hit full boost it will start ripping up the tyres and sliding out. ive checked for boost leaks spraying on ic pipes etc but no luck so far locating the issue could this me a afm issue or something to do with the air/fuel raitos? the restrictor pill was removed by owner in japan and is running 1bar.

sorry if this was a silly question or has been answered elsewhere, i just cant put my finger on it!

Have you considered that you are now driving a RWD biased AWD car and it could actually be losing traction at the rear simply because it is losing traction?

There may or may not be an alignment problem or worn bushes or subframe mounts etc etc that might be causing it. It doesn't HAVE to be coming from the engine end of the car!

If its standard as you claim it shouldn't be doing that.

But if its modded.....fully sik. :)

On a serious note, my GTRs rear use to come out under power, she would crab walk, ended up being the subframe bushes were leaking and i put some alloy C rings in place to stop it, she went straight after that.

Itsat standard vspec height its sitting on original suspension also yes it still has original coil packs. I will have to look into the subframe bushes hopefully something turns up..n yes gts boy i understand that its not a full time awd but this is not just simply breaking traction due to power from the rears its more like when i come on boost imagine like fuel surge bunny hops and makes the car break traction and jerks the car forward and backward similar to what youd feel when you have a large boost leak..soo frustrating!

It could be the ATTESA system that also activates the rear A-LSD on a R34 V-SPEC needs bleeding

Either way it sounds like the car has some issues, best off getting it to someone that knows these cars so they can give it the once over

If boost (positive pressure) Is only coming in at 4.5K rpm on standard turbos you have issues... Are you sure this is the case as per your post???

**edit** i think i misread due to punctuation... You are on boost, then at 4.5K rpm you have traction issues

Yep the tyres are all the same size, i think it sounds like axle tramp, never experienced it before but sounds on par with whats going on with mine. Thanks guys and

  • XKLABA i will have to check out the attesa see if it needs bleeding. Could be a combo of all of these things just helps to narrow it down a little.

Cheers for the info guys ill report back after a once over from my mechanic if anyone is curious as to what the problem was.

If a stock R34 GTR is breaking traction it has a 4WD problem of some sort, or very very shit tyres, if it has a 4WD problem and is a V-Spec it will most likely have an A-LSD problem to

A small air pocket won't kick a code but will slow down the operation speed of the diff and 4WD

Lol. How can it break traction and jerk back and forth.

Axle tramp is like a hopping sensation in the back.

Sti and gtr are WORLDS apart in how they drive

yep im not exactly sure mate feels like a little of both at the same time im assuming it has something to do with the attesa ill take it to croydon see what they make of it

ye exactly it feels like the torque is being split up unevenly or delayed, i have a feeling your on the money.

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
