Is this a problem?

[Driver]

Hey all,

When driving my r34 gt-t, sometimes when i take my foot off the pedel after accelerating the car somtimes shudders a tiny bit.

Anyone know what this might be and if its a bad thing?

thanks

Its probably just settling down to idle again

Even new cars shake a little at idle

What kind of 'shuddering'

through the steering wheel or entire car?

[Driver]

the entire car does

has it anything to do with air going trying to go out the wrong way thru the turbo or something when i let off the accelerator?

[Guilt-Toy]

a missfire can feel like a shudder

Possibly a useless response... but...

When I back off from full throttle in my work van I get a shudder as the A/C kicks back in (you can only feel it if you've gone from full throttle to clutch-in idle rpm).

No idea if thats likely to be the problem in something a little more refined like a 34 GTT

Also, from my bogan days ... An incorrectly aligned tailshaft or worn uni joints will give you shudder as you back off as the slack gets taken up. Again, probably not an issue on a 34 GTT.

nah its only happend since ive installed my ebc and cooler that ive noticed it.

and i dont have aircon on yet because i havnt got it regassed yet.

Have you got an aftermarket BOV? If you have and it's set too tight then you'll get this shudder if it doesn't open fully.

This is what was happening with my car anyways.

[Driver]

yes i do have one

and yes that might be the prob

ill give it a shot

[Steg33]

You shouldn't get any fluttering sound at all else the BOV is still too tight. If you loosen it a fair bit until it starts leaking under boost and then tighten it a little from there you should be fine. It should be a clean opening every time, even under bugger all boost when you're off the throttle.

Should be problem solved from there mate.

Good luck.
