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?

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
