Hey guys, nowadays when my car approaches (around) red line and i shift from 1st to 2nd, the car sort of stutters and theres a lag (complete loss of power in that 0.5 secs) before it engages 2nd gear. It doesnt happen when im driving it normally but only when i shift the gears quick up high in the revs. Is it to do with my clutch or wat? Its nvr happened before so im unsure.. Thanks in advance for any help :(

Cheers

So where does the "no power" start?

At redline before you push the clutch in, or

at redline after you let the accelerator off, or

after engaging second gear?

Option one could suggest coilpacks or whatever the other causes are, the typical stuttering at a certain rev-spot (search for threads relating to this)

Option two could involve an atmospheric BOV that is releasing air out instead of back into the system, so the ECU gets messed up looking for the expected air that has gone missing. (overfuelling at that point I guess)

Option three could be the turbo needing to spin up again, and if you have no BOV or a faulty one that makes the chopping noise, the air is actually spinning the turbo wheel the wrong way, and will make spooling it up again quite labourous and time-consuming.

Hmm well i would say its after engaging 2nd gear.. But now that u mention it i also feel a slight loss of power after say 6000 rpm. from idle to 6000 its all increasing then from after around 6000+ it seems to sort of become rather flat then when i shift and engage the no power starts. The no power area feels like a car stalling.. The bov seems to be working fine so im still pretty unsure as to wat it is.. =/

Ah, might want to check that post about missfire around that rev-range? http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=32356

Your boost will be dropping off around that stage anyway, but if it's really noticeable, it might be another problem? You're not using a bleed-type controller are you?

Oh, and when you say that the BOV is working, is it an atmospheric BOV? Might be worth a shot sticking a stock one on for a test?

yeah its an atmo one. problem is i dont have a stock one heh the bov came with the car.. also im not really familiar with misfire.. what are the signs of misfire? is there anything audible or maybe a diff sort of feeling? thanks again for the help randy appreciate it :)

If it's going to slip, the engine will rev much quicker to redline, and you'll have stopped accelerating by 4000rpm i'd guess.

It's a good point though! Misfiring will feel like you have switched the motor off, or it has stalled, and then it will come back alive.

If you're still getting full noise from the motor when the power goes, then it could very well be a clutch issue. Especially if you whack it hard into the next gear and keep the boost semi-built up.

Find a slight hill, get up to cruising speed in 4th, then put the boot right into it, watch the revs if it's safe, and see if they slip right through.

That's one way, there's another that involves holding the brake and accelerator while in 1st or 2nd gear and cruising.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
