ok so it was noticable tonight to post up on here, at around 4000rpm its almost like the car takes the accelerator off, cause i get a drop in revs and a back fire noise.

it only does it every now and then, but it shouldnt be doing it......

the car is stock, apart from 4inch hks dragger cat back exhaust, pod filter, super spark coil pack, nismo S-tune sparkplugs and supposedly a bigger fuel pump?

is it just a case of maybe running too rich? overflowing the car with fuel and choking it??? injectors? spark plugs? im new to the whole skyling thing so any advice much appreciated

if youy need any more info please let me know

cheers

i heard it tonite when you took off,did it in first but not in seccond??id just start with the basics like plugs first.have you checked the condition of them since you bought it?do you know what there gapped to?get a hold of some NGK copper plugs to chuck in here to see if that fixes the prob,there cheap and available from just about any where.

oh and it sure as hell didnt sound like traction control cutting in lol.sounded like you had a Bee R installed :laugh:

I'ts not knocking is it? Don't have an orange light flashing when you put the boot into it?

Otherwise its either air of fuel. I'd get your fuel flow and pressure tested, 10 minutes and say $50 at any reputable garage. At least that would eliminate fuel up to [but not including] the injectors.

no flashing lights, and no knocking i can hear from the drivers seat. im gonna drop into my mechanic tomorrow night and ask him a few questions, it does feel like a fuel issue....

jack, whats a bee R? yeh it did do it in first then i short shifted to 2nd and it was fine :s

Im guessing AFM, do a diagnostic search on the ecu and see if there are any trouble codes

thanks for the reply but im relatively new to the skyline thing, so if you could describe how i could do that? or is it left for someone with a dyno?

cheers

yep, I would look at failing fuel pump. or even fuel pump loose in tank. it's quite often very pronounced in 1st gear as you get rapid change in fuel requirement as it ramps onto boost, and the acceleration g's push all the fuel to the back of the tank too.

i think you may be right, i just taped up every coil to try that method, it has worked somewhat but now i am only getting it in 1st gear after 4000rpm when i seem to be turning??? it barely does it when going in a straight line in first....

so im leaning more towards a pump loose in the tank?? sound about right? whats my next step from here then?

cheers

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
