Hello,

I have recently purchased an R32GTR and at very slight throttle cruising at 100-120 the car surges and when it surges the torque gauge bounces very slightly from what looks like 3% to 5% My vaccuum reads about 2-4 inches of mercurywhen this is happening.

Also at cruise in a GTR is 2 to 5 InHg of vaccuum correct. I have owned 3 previous skylines all gtst's and 2 180's and at cruise they have all read 10-15 inches at 100-120 kmh. Is there that much diff between the RB25 and RB26.

Thanx in advance. Michael...

What is the rolling diameter of your tyres like front to back.. ie are your front tyres new compared to the back, different brand, different size?

attessa will be happier if you have the largest rolling diameter on the back. otherwise you will get surge, as it sees the rears turning faster than the fronts and thinks 'wheelspin whoopie'.

vacuum sounds about right, less than I expected as well.

I have 255 40 17 on rear and 235 45 17 on front. The surging isnt there when the vehicle is cold and its not there when the car has warmed up either unless i have accelerated hard. It seems to surge alot more after my first initial hard acceleration. If i am very easy on the throttle the whole time i drive the car it will hardly surge after i boot it. it starts surging. I have bled the system which made it slightly better but now my torque gauge reads at about 8 when cruising at 110 where as before i had any surging problems the gauge only read between 3 and 5. Any ideas.

Thanx Michael...

Your rear tyres have a smaller rolling diameter at the back compared to the front - that is probably one reason why this is happening. With more tyre wear on the rear, I would say there is at least 1% difference in front to rear tyre speed.

      Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.

      That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.

      Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
