NO BANANAS FOR YOU! i turned off the ebc so I was only running 8 pound.... unless its on R&R all the time, NO FIX! the car feels sluggish and not fun.... I wouldnt be hitting R&R at 8 pound would I? One reason I think I'm not is that I am sucking through the standard airbox without the snorkel... I.e. its drawing hot as air from the engine....

Explain this again.

you are in lets say 2nd gear.

foot to the floor, you accelerate to 6000rpm?

then step on clutch to change gears.

you hear some flutter and the car jerks a little (while you are off the gas).

or does the jerking happen once you've got in to next gear and plant it again?

Hmmm.... good questions ask you....

I drive the car pretty easy most of the time. So when changing normally around town (3000rpm) I dont shift extremely quickly and you can feel the car jerk around a little bit, feels as though the pressure is bouncing around a fair bit....

When at high rpm, and quickly changing between gears, it doesnt seem to jerk as much.... Less time for the air to bounce around???

I read through the R&R stuff on other threads and I'm sure the car is suffering from it, however this seems different.

but explain the moment of the jerking (eewww)

is it, when foot is on clutch, or when in gear and accelerating AFTER changing gears?

may be a stupid question but have you taken the stock bov off and checked to make sure it's not blocked off with a plate?

or that the plumback line doesn't have a cork of some kind in there?

this is the way I see it.

1.) car jerks when accelerating after chaning gears.. as in you are back on the boost = R&R

2.) car jerks when you are off the accelerator AFTER boosting = blocked bov.

you have said that you get flutter so I am leaning towards the fact that either the bov is blocked or that the tiny bleed hole under the bov base is blocked.

either way.

a few clamps and 2 bolts and the bov comes off.

remove it and check what I mentioned.

I'm getting this same problem, it jerks when i get back onto the gas after a gear change ie: if i rev it up and dump it into the next gear i get a nice fart and jerk before i go anywhere.

Got a highflow with chipped ecu and z32 afm

getting a gtr bov this arvo so maybe it might fix it

Not sure if it's always done it

I never used to drive it that hard so i've only started to notice it recently

Nothings changed since anyway

I haven't got a working scanner atm but my afr's are pretty flat along the 11's since its tuned for 20psi and im only running 15ish

      Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.

      The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.

      Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
