hey dudez

just had my major service completed the other day

i had replaced:

timing belt

water pump

cam seals

spark plugs

fuel filter

now when just cruising around, i change gears and the car backfires, not really loud but has never done it b4. when i really give it a boot and change gears it is quite loud. now i have the car booked in to get a dyno tune and was just wondering whether this will fix the problem. and the car has always been out of tune a bit so im hoping this will get rid of it. it has always backfired on decellaration too, which i wasnt worried about.

mods to the car are 3" turbo back exhaust, FMIC, pod, bov and boost to 12psi.

thanks for your help in advance guys

cheers

i used nissan genuine plugs, they supplied them.

i just thought its wiered that i have replaced everything with new and now its doing it. never did it b4...

im not worried really but its rather annoying when u give it a boot, my car sounds sick.... :laugh: lol

thanks for your help dudez

its a turbosmart bov, so thats atmospheric yeh?

Edited by JVP-R32

yeh it has a silicone hose coming off the end

i think its a type 3...cant remember...

would a dyno tune help, im getting it done regardless, but when they fidle with the fuel and timing when they tune it, could this repair the problem? im getting an ecu chip done very soon also. when they replace the timing belts, does the tune go out of whack? sorry im a n00b at this.

thanks guys

Its just running rich? ie. the R&R that normally occures with std ecu? 12PSI? on std turbo everyday? damm

My car backfired heaps when I did a few more mods to it and uped the boost. It would backfire every gear change, every downshift, I was even able to make it backfire on demand. Off throtle and on throtle etc..

Sometimes it would backfire by itself 4times in a row! "ZOOOM POP POP POOOP POP"

You shouldnt have anything to worry about, just means car uses more fuel, and the cat might be rooted lol

car still back-firing, new fuel pump installed (bosch 040)

plugs were genuine nissan, which cross referenced to PFR6A-11, as recommended on here....

could it be the coils?

the pop is really loud, can feel it in the cabin lol

just need some help, its doing my head in.

cheers guys

When is it happening.. coming onto boost.. or when you back off boost..

Is it happening ALL the time, or only after you have been giving it a bit of a run..

If it's a) backing off boost & b) after you've been giving it a bit - the excess fuel is just being ignited as it hits the turbo/exhaust causing it to pop.. not really a huge issue..

Not sure why you'd get a "Dyno tune" when the car has the stock ECU.. unless you think there is something seriously wrong I don't see the point.. unless you want to see how rich your A/F ratios are going..

Not sure how a new fuel pump will help..

Hmm.. trying to think of what else it is.. more details on when it happens would be good..

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • 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.
