I have a non-turbo R34 and the exhaust keeps popping. a mechinic told me that it was the high tension leads and that i will need new ones? another mate said that there aren't any leads there!

so i was wondering if there are any or not and how do i fix this popping noise?

My exhaust pops all the time on my R33 N/A.

It has a 4" catback 5" tip. IF your car does it while slowing doing its the depressurisation in the exhaust (apparently). I wouldnt be concerned about it, unless it does it while ur driving along normally.

You're running a 4" exhaust on an N/A 2.5L! Jeezus christ.

When slowing down, you will find that the cylinder isn't getting complete combustion (Because of pressures between inlet manifold/cylinder/exhaust and basically, since the revs are up, but no huge volume of air turn over, the exhaust sucks out alot harder, and it also stops alot of the combustion from taking place inside the engine, and draws it out into the exhaust where it "pops"

Normally reffered to as cackling.

But if it pops like back firing, time for a tune (Although mine creates some MASSIVE back fires when using second gear to hold speed down steep hills (60km/h speed limit) and just tapping the throttle on and off slightly creates even bigger ones... Good way to get people off your ass... :laugh:

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
