When I park my R34 face up on my driveway at home (steep, but not too bad - see picture) it misses a beat every few seconds.

I hooked up a fuel mixture display kit from Jaycar and you can see when it misses it goes Lean then back to normal and the pattern continues..

I'm just wondering whether there's something wrong with my car or whether it's a design fault over the whole line of 34's (or atleast Series 1)

The car runs perfect in every other situation except this one..

does it only do it on your driveway or have you ever seen it do it on a flat road? Have you mucked around with the timing at all? Whens the last time you checked your plugs? Dirty plugs or plugs that have been gapped too close can cause what you are mentioning but the driveway shouldnt really effect that. My bros r33 does a simular thing at idle but it will do it on a flat surface, but i think that has something to do with the timing he has smashed into it.

When it happens is your car low on fuel?

The pump is towards the front of the fuel tank!

yeah but on that driveway it wouldnt make that much of a difference, if he was on the fuel light for 100km then it started to it then maybe

i could be wrong but i dont think the fuel pump is at the front on the r34s, i only say this because i have a really steep downward sloping driveway and once i was really low on fuel and i couldnt get it started on the slope, i had to roll down to the bottom where it was flat and then it came to life.

what fuel pump do you have? if its stock how many km on the car? whens the last time the fuel filter was changed?

The stock fuel pump..car has around 35,000km & fuel filter only changed 2,000km ago.

My Missus' driveway is ridiculously steep & my car starts normally as if it were on a flat surface

Mine's a series 1 aswell. Your car just might be a sped afterall :sorcerer: :glare:

Beh! ^ :glare:

When it comes time to change my pod filter I'm gonna try putting my standard airbox back in because I actually can't remember the car doing it with it standard..we'll see how that goes I suppose.

sort of off topic but my turbo sss does the same on my driveway and its on a hill. i was told it could be coz my pump is to the front of the tank and apprently fuel pumps need constant pressure in the lines and its missing coz its getting some air in the line? something like that.... mine doesnt seem to do it when ive just filled up but does when its either half or almost empty. also been told could be my quad throttle bodies not shutting completely dunno mite help..

Tried putting my standard airbox back in but of course that didn't change anything - I just hoped it would for some reason.

I've been told it could be something to do with a "roll over" sensor? Dunno if the 34's have them or not..haven't been able to find any info..

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
