Hey Guys,

Im worried about a shutter like noise, and loss of power. It seems to be random and only ever happens when I dont have foot flat..

I recently got my R34 GTT serviced and got new coils cause they were f$%^'ed, not sure if it could be related though.

I have a gut feeling that it could be my turbo? But I wouldnt cound on my car knowledge.

Apart from coils my car is stock.

Any help on this would be muchly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

p.s. I hope this is right spot to post.

Yeah Im not sure of exact speed (about 65-70) or revs but yes It feels its happening under the same conditions every time, then naturally I take foot off accelerator and then accelerate again and it goes away...

Its not heavy acceleration but I normally It would be well responcive, so I guess you could say high speed acceleration or high stress.

What's been done to the car?

I had a simliar issue which I fixed up on the dyno today... ended up being a lean spot between 3,500 and 4,000rpm. You'll find it's not a set speed zone, but a RPM zone as your engine revs + boost hit a specific area of the map that is bad / incomplete.

Please don't say your car is stock - if so, I wish you luck in the diagnosis :banana:

If it didn't happen before you got the aftermarket coils, then the chances of the fault being in the coilpacks themselves is quite significant.. I'd get them checked out. By the looks of it, you might've got your mits on a bogus set of coilpacks..

What are they, Splitfire, JJR??

off topic but on a related note, ive recently noticed my car at about 5k revs lose power and make a noise like trying to crank over a engine with a dead battery (kind of its a bit different but thats the best comparison i can think of)

Im guessing its the coilpacks? i believe mine are standard so i was gonna upgrade to splitfire ones.

Sound about right to you guys?

Yeah cheers guys, Iv got car booked into guy that did coils originally for monday.

Hopefully my car doesnt die before then.

Once hes fixed ill get him to tell my what was goin on and ill let yas know.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
