burbling noise

hey all

ok i'm starting to get annoyed :)

my car does an on and off burbling coming out of the exhaust, obviously coming from somewhere else

its basically: drive for half an hour, everythings sweet. then for no reason the car will start this bobobobobobobobobobobo soft burbling(think 4 bob's per second) its not robbing power or making it any harder to drive but it's quite annoying and you can see that the whole car slightly shakes along with it, had a water bottle sitting on the floor and was watching it vibrate along with the noise.

it dosnt do it during normal driving but when i come to a stop it does it while idling and also under really slight (0-5%) throttle

at first i thought it was a tunability problem as i havnt had my PFC retuned since tuning and was told its good for it just to iron out any prolems every 3 or 4 months or so.

*EDIT* forgot to mention (but thought it was obvious anyway but just in case) after a certain amount of time, say half an hour burbling it will just revert back to normal and drive fine for another amount of time and so on and so on

what is causing this?

I had the same thing on my n/a r33 but sumtimes it got to the point wher it was even more a really faint jerk when driving the car.

It was from the place i took it too to get it serviced and they dont know anything about skylines and the spark plugs were only loosly tightend. I took it sumwhere else and they fixd it up good :)

yes it backfires, not a huge amount though, normal rich running skyline backfiring.

matter of fact at the last dyno day the dude said that its running richer than he would have tuned it to run.

thats why i thought it was a tunability problem but if it was that then it would be doing it all the time not just intermittantly right?

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
