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

Saying shhh about the decat doesn't hide the plates in your disp pic.. :yes:

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

its good on a cruise through the gorge around hairpins and you are hearing 15 cars one after another start making pop sounds..... love it

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
