hi ppl..

i noticed this problem when i was stretching 3gear today...dont know what it is but in 3rd gear on full throttle my turbo seems to be boosting and not boosting all at the same time... very hard to explain.. but almost feels like someone is holding the car back and letting it go holding it back and letting it go.. whilst driving...

has anybody experienced this before..

im worried

hard to say with that description. Weird that it's only in third.

I'd be checking simple things like plugs for starters. Pull the plugs & have a look at 'em replace any suspect ones, or all of 'em if they haven't been done in a while, if oily or cooked then look further. Probably only something simple... You may be surprised how a fouled plug can make the GTR do some very odd things...

Compressor surge maybe... does it sound like the boost is surging? I've had a similar problem. Mine started in third gear only and now its doing it in second as well.. I've had it tuned out before (PowerFC), but it came back.. I havent worked out whats causing it even to this day.

Mine only happens between 4000 and about 5500rpm. Do you get the same sensation of it only happening between certain RPM?

Ignition problems will give you a farting popping noise out the exhaust. Do you hear this at all?

I changed my sparkies and installed splitfire coilpacks and it made no difference to my surging problem - fixed the ignition misfire though :blink:

My guess would be fuel pump as well, given that it's not happening in the first gear. i've had this with my other car where fuel pump was tested and working, However the flow rate was wrong and once the new pump went in it was OK.

Could also be something to do with you turbo comp. surge like Primordial said.

my 2 cents

Good luck :blink:

hey guys.. yeah come to think about it i do hear a fair bit of backfire from my exhuast.. but i thought this was normal. ???

coming back to this mucking around with the boost n all.. mine happens after about 5500 rpm onwards all the way to 8000... dont know what is causing it.. dont think its the plugs,they look fine... might get someone to look at it this w.end..

are you tlaking about backfire when backing off the accelerator or while accelerating? they are two very different things... :(

A little backfire when backing off the accelerator is ok isn't it? Happens sometimes on my car but I was assuming its normal.

Yeah it'll happen when your car is running rich... a little bit rich is ok. Also when your cat gets a bit older it can cause backfiring. Nothing to much to worry about really, apart from the fact that you'll probably fail an emissions test if you get defected :(

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
