Can anyone tell me if the Series 2 skyline has a fuel cut built into it.

The problem is when the boost is put to about 13-14psi, what happens is when the car is hammered occasionally the engine seems to stop periodically, I am assuming injectors turn off and on to protect the engine from damage.

Is this an issue with the fuel pump not keeping up and leaning out or do I have no idea at all and should shut the hell up : :Bang:

Only happens under full load, the car has a 3.5" Exhaust, new Hybrid FMIC and a Turbo Smart Bleed valve.

Does anyone know how to get around this without a replacement ECU if it is a computer problem, if it is fuel pump issue thats easy :D

HiMarkO this questions is asked so often it feels like Groundhog Day. I suggest you do a search of posts on "Overboost Protection" by "Sydneykid", you will find the full story there. In particular you should read the posts on "SAFC" and overboost protection.

Hope that helps :D

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
