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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
