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?

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
