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....

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

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
