The other night i was giving the GTR full throttle and when i backed off it just stuck there bouncing off the limiter :O. My pedal was not stuck, this was the first thing i checked before shutting the engine off. When i restarted it was fine, it was going ok so i gave it 80% throttle still fine, so i tried full throttle again and it stuck again.

now i had a look under the bonnet, butterfly linkages move freely fine, however the very last butterfly near the firewall had a plug from the wiring loom rubbing against it, now i THINK that this was causing the issue because ive since moved it away and it may have fixed the problem but ive only given it full throttle a couple times since and it hasn't stuck.

the motor is built but the only part unknown is the oil pump, which makes me not wanna risk this problem happening again, any input or theory is welcome.

what i cant understand is when i shut the engine off and on again it was no longer stuck, if the electrical plug was wedged up against the butterfly jamming it from springing back i cant see how it would free up after turning the engine off and on again. for now im gonna spray up all the moving parts i can see without ripping things off with some CRC.

^^ It does? you got pre-ignition, torn engine mounts or something equally as stupid going on.

op.. seems you have fixed your own problem.

abit of exageration, but it will rock enough to loosen itself surely.

I hit the limiter all the time with my N1 pump!

But ye, it'll be that piece of loom by the sound of it.

I had it happen with a stray hose on my RB25 years ago, no idea how the hose even got loose/into where it did. Mysteries :)

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
