has it just started doing it?

have you done any mods recently to cause it? i.e. spark plugs, exhaust, timing, etc?

it's not exactly normal, but also not surprising.

the fuel mixture does normally run rich in the high rpm range.

mine does it aswell, nearly all the time in 3rd.

its just because the fuel runs rich then when you put your clutch in all the unburnt fuel thats left sitting around pops.

its not a bad thing.. i personally like it as mine sometimes makes a tiney flame :(

when i get my safc2 and get the air/fuel mixture tuned it will stop this..

check the forced induction section man there was a technical write up about it..

basically your car is running rich.. when the fuel comes into contact with oxygen it creates a popping noise.

thats about all i can remember. but it is in the FORCED INDUCTION section.

thats called overrun

thats different to backfiring cause the engine is at high-ish revs, but there is no real load on the engine, and so it revs without using the accelerator

there is an excess of fuel in the burnt mixture because of the closed throttle, and when it hit the cat converter it mixes with a bit of oxygen and self ignites

thus the pop/gurgle/burping noise

backfiring is like a full on ignition of fuel/air mixture partially in the engine and in the exhaust - thats why its loud and bad for your engine

I love my NA,

Going threw shopping centres as your slowing down, makes all the burping and dull popping noises.

Every one looks :(

grrrr lol while I sit at home on Fridays when I don't feel like spending cash going out bored out of my mind hahaha

edit: Yea the only part of the exhaust that was still stock was the cat. So in the future if you ever wanted to upgrade something I'd look at getting a high-flow cat maybe, but yea it sounded and went nice anyway =P

Also have you done anything new to it?

Just a few little things here and there.

Changed the gear knob pretty much straight away, has a gt nismo titanium on there now, lining up a new clutch soon, and also suspension. but besides that, shes still the same from the day i drove away.

Hows your legs going for transport?

Ahhh they go ok, thinking of lowering them a little and putting some 18's on there :laughing-smiley-014:

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
