Hey everyone, selling my beloved skyline to some lucky person. Call or text me if you're interested and would like to know more. Cheers guys, Dan http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/bellerive/cars-vans-utes/nissan-skyline-r32-gt-r/1026983452

And what did you find?? It helps when you come to a conclusion to your problem to put it up on the thread you started for reference.

That raises another question, are you supposed to fit an oil restrictor to the feed line of ball bearing turbo's or do Garrett's (and any other BB turbo) come standard with a restrictor fitted??

Well I'd be looking at the coil packs first off. Very common problem, could just be a coincedence that it occured after fitting the exhaust. If the coil packs are the same as the 32's then I'd be pulling them out and checking all the carbon ends/springs. Mine did the same thing a while ago and I found the all the carbon ends had burnt out, replaced them all along with new spark plugs and the problem was fixed. The carbon ends sit on top of the spark plugs, if you pull the ends off the coils they are exposed and can be replaced easily enough. Not expensive either.

Yer I just fitted them to my 32 as well. It's a big job but yes they do bolt straight up and the only modification is to slot the oil drian holes. It does seem alittle dodgy but but there's no presure in these lines so it's perfectly ok to slot the holes. I'm having other issues with mine at the moment though with "shuffle", mainly because I haven't got the necessary supporting mods yet and it's not tuned.

Hmm, sounds like you've blown an intercooler pipe off or something... or... I once encountered a similar problem with my old 200sx and found the nuts that secure the turbo to the manifold had worked loose (turbo was loose). Pulled it off, fitted a new gasket and some decent exhaust nuts and she was as good as gold :sorcerer:

Hmm, I don't know anything about the PFC or how it's wired in etc. But if it were me I'd be starting with the basics, make sure the battery terminals are clean and tight, check alternator charge rate with the head lights on and off and check all earth connections. That's how I'd approach this.

Oh, it's not an odd size either, it'll be either 17mm or 19mm. All Jap stuff is metric. A bit of CRC works wonders too

Certainly. This is a pic of a snap-on pipe spanner, disigned for such situations as this. Here is another pic of how to interlock thy pipe spanner. :sorcerer:

I blocked the bleed side of the boost solenoid off today and by doing so dropped the boost down a fair bit, it didn't stop the flutter but it certainly softened the effects. After work I put the boost back to 1 bar to drive home and for some strange reason it hardly played up at all?? The flutter was practically gone! I also noticed the idle was a tad lower than usual for some reason, it usually sits at around 1200rpm and today it was around a 1000, then I had I thought.... could it have something to do with the idle circuit? Obviously my idle control valve is open a fair way for it to be idling at 1200rpm on any normal day, so could this being open so far be causing havoc and confusion with the presure differences either side of the throttle butterflies? Just a thought? Maybe just clutching at straws now!

Yer, I understand the basics of the turbo charger... but is compressor surge something that normaly occurs under full throttle/load conditions? Because this occurs just cruising along a flat section of road in a 60 zone?? But when I load up the engine (3/4 throttle say) it comes out of it??

Yes, it's just as you described in your second scenario. But again how are the BOV's opening when I've blocked the vacuum supply line off to them?

Hmmm, but I blocked the vacuum line to the BOV's off and tried it, and made no difference at all. And it's only on very light throttle right on the transition from manifold vacuum to boost that it occurs
