A while ago i upgraded the turbos on my 32gtr to garrett 28/60`s-10 and when i ease on the throttle very slowly i get a chh, chh, chh, chh, chh coming from the turbo area, there on a stock manifold and got stock dumps, would be part of the problem?

Have checked all clamps hoses anything i can get to and nothing helps, please help?

Stock BOV's will help.

Trust Type R may not be releasing under low pressures. Trust sell two different springs for these BOV's. Soft one would probably work fine. I ended up with the hard one in mine and it doesnt open under 13psi or so.

Even with the stock BOV's, you aren't always going to be able to get rid of this noise. There's nothing wrong with the car.

Its the turbos causing the shuffle, compressor surge as they are making too much air as they really aren't the turbos for a 2.6ltr...

They are designed for a stroked/cam'd motor that can use the added air... -10's are too bit... Anyway...

GTR BOV's fix it to some extent as they leak @ idle, aftermarket ones will make it worse.

You've got a few options

1. Manifold "balance" pipe between the exhaust manifolds, user: GAV posted about it

2. Tune it out, it can be done with an experienced tuner, but i am unsure how one goes about it

3. Put on -5's like everyone else which are the better suited turbo

Yeah definately a good option on the balance pipe but I reckon option 2 is still his best bet. I put a set of HKS 2510's on a GTR with usual supporting mods. When I say, I put on, I mean they were already on the car when we started working on it but made quite a few changes before we put them back on. Mainly head porting and cams. Injectors were your usual big mofos and we deleted the tune and started from base map again with corrections for injector sizing. It surged quite harshly on cruise but it was easily tuned out. The reason for this particular surging was it was running slightly lean on cruise. Fattened it up a tad and it's smooth as sillk now.

You are right about the -5's also but you forgot to mention they are a better turbo...not just better suited.

I sold a pair to Russel Newman back when the GIANT GTR was still taking names 2 years ago and he commented on these to me a few weeks back saying that they definately went a shit load faster on the -5's than the -10's that they fitted to it later on. His advice was to wind 'em up and let 'em go. They made approx 735hp at the wheels on those turbos. - a tad off topic though but thought I would share the fact that they are real performers and the necessity to go up to a -10 is only present if chasing 750-800hp.

when we fitted these turbos i was always goin to totally re-build the engine by puttin forged internals and all the good stuff in the head so that the turbos ran efficient and put a hks merge pipe between a new manifold.

Martin Donnon tuned my car when we fitted the turbos and he said all gtr`s get it, but i thought that cant be right, but didnt say anything knowin that he knows a hell of a lot more than me.

so its basicly the engine cant use the extra boost pressure?

No, it cant use the initial airflow. Once you get going it's fine... has nothing to do with boost really as the turbos are just 'coming on' when it'll be surging.

This is because the comp wheel is too big and pushed too much air and forces you into the surge zone.

You'd need more than internals... im talking a serious big $$ build like a stroker etc to really make use of the -10's.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
