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:

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 :(

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
