Hi I just resently purchased my first skyline and i was just wondering if it is normal for them to backfire when u rev it out in each gear then change up to the next gear. My car has 3inch cat back exhaust with large straight thru muffler on the rear. It only really backfires when i run it up to round 6+ on the tacho. I am thinking that it maybe running a little rich on fuel and under heavy acceration it must let a bit of fuel get out to the muffler.

Any info would be great.

Yeah my 32 does it a lot at the moment especially decelerating on boost and stabbing the throttle

VERY funny when people are behind my car when I do it

Scares the s**t out of them

Annnnyway I believe its because of excess fuel and burning it on deceleration maybe a dyno tune will fix it if it bothers you

Yeah i don't mind the backfire. I was following my mate round in his car and i floored it past him and then boom. It made biggest back fire yet. I loved it and my mate later said wtf did ya car blow up or something. I wonder if there was any flamage out da back. :D

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
