Hi all,

I took my car to great ocean road lately and i gave it a good run - lots of 2nd and 3rd gear action around the bends and hills.

I noticed when I decelerated from higher revs (in a lower gear) there were sometimes muffled crackling/popping noises from my exhaust - personally find the sound pretty cool.

My mates in the car behind say there were no puffs of smoke or flames coming from my car.

I just wanna confirm if this is normal.

R34 - NA - tiptronic - with hi-flow filter, extractors and hi-flo cat - rest of the engine and exhaust is stock.

Cheers

mine used to do it with normal ngk spark plugs which in fact rooted my spark plugs used to back fire as loud as a gun and pop flames jsut unburnt fuel mines pretty much stock exhassut apart from cannon and a decat hehe shhh but i bought $129 bosch umtimate spark plugs doesnt backfire ne more

yeah my car does it aswel i think it is the plugs tho, i havent had mine changed in a while..but mine is a auto and when ever i release the accelerator at certain revs it makes a lil pop..i too sorta like it.specially when i rock up to lights and down shift sometimes and my exhaust just rumbles tuff and bit of a pop =]

I get this too on my R34 GTT but mostly before the engine has warmed up properly .. I don't think this is a coilpack issue, I think it has to do with the richness of the air/fuel mix .. most stockies run too rich (I know mine did) plus before the engine is warm I think it runs richer than when at operating temps hence my popping issues on downshifting.

Well normally i think means you gotta get your Coil packs looked at .. how old are yours?

Everything has been recently replaced, about 3 months ago...

The car runs perfectly fine. Not a single issue. It's just this time cause i was driving spiritedly - I'm usually very tame when driving.

Its the air/fuel mixture ratio. All it is, is that your either got too much air running through the engine or your to rich in fuel. I learnt this because almost all dirt bikes go through this.

Maybe clean your intake and wipe your spark plugs to see if it fixes it. It wont harm your engine if your running rich so you dont have to worry.

check the rear quater on exhaust for blow-by :laugh: mine is plentiful

No blowby "stains" on the back of the car - however i got heaps around the oil cap and PCV area... *brings out de-greaser and rag*

Thats about right.

Since you took it to the GOR for a good (or I should say Spirited...) run, you would have been giving it full throttle majority of times...

More fuel = Need more air to equal out the Air/Fuel mixture.

stock exhaust mine never done it, straight 3inch all the time :) loving it, triptonic auto.

sometimes i down gear to soon just so the revs are higher so it really pops and rumbles. sounds pretty cool coming from a wagon

Sounds great at most times actually to be honest :down: My NA RB25 does it too. Not really concerned.

yeah my girl does it most times aswell, espcially if i take her over 4 grand when changing from say 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd i love it when she does it lol

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
