Stuttering Stagea

[gerry whtie]

Help my fellow Stagea pilots I have a stuttering Stagea. My car is a 97RS4 of low ks only mod K&N filter, when I get to my cruising speed 80-120ks and ease back on the gas the car starts to stutter as though its missing, starved of fuel, etc but this can be overcome by applying more or less throttle until it does it again which becomes tiresome on a journey. I contacted a known Skyline/Stagea expert on the Gold Coast, I live in Hervey Bay, who recomended I disconect the pipe coming from the throttle body to the charcoal filter at the filter end and it worked but alas the stutters have returned so I need help as no one up here has a clue, only recognise Fowlcans and Commondores.

Cheers Gez

Hello Gerry......hello Newman...

Time to fess up gerry - you know it's the rev limiter you are sitting on.

So back off a bit.

Q. Last I heard the record time between Hervey Bay and Maryborough was 7.5 mins on a FJ1100 set by one of the Anderson boys. Has anyone beaten that yet?

had the exact same problem....

your rear tyres are the same size as your fronts are they?

get them the same size.. and your problems will be gone

what is the boost doing at this time?

i had a similar problem, turned out to be the intercooler hose had slipped off a little.

Muck looks like you could be on to the cause of the stuttering Stagea problem. Spoke to a Subaru mechanic and they are highly sensitive to tyre size, its to do with the centre diff so will check rolling circumference and he also suggested changing g/box oil also a problem on certain cars. will keep you posted cheers Gez

Gerry, go to the local Toyota dealers workshop and ask if Stuie still works there. He is a wizard with all things nissan and turbo. I couldnt recommend him enough, his rates are good too - carton of suds will fix it up.

Cheers,

Ken
