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:

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
