Loud Bang From Zorst

Hey Guys,

Ok so I'm reasonably new to the jap car seen and need some advice and please forgive the ignorance.

So when my car is under heavy acceleration I get a loud Pop/bang from my exhaust when up shifting in the higher rev ranges 5k+.

The only mods i have done engine wise is a 3inch turbo back stainless steel system with a massive jun-bl cannon on the back courtesy of Exhaust Technology and a Apexi power intake pod.

The Exhaust specs are , 3inch bell mouth dump and front pipe into a 100cell cat (unsure what brand) then to a single mid mount lukey oval muffler and then straight to the Jun-bl Cannon ( dunno actual sizing but it was the biggest one there)

O and by the way the Car is a R34 Gt-t sedan with a trip tonic auto trans. ( i know a trans conversion is on the cards but not right now).

So yeah is this normal it doesn't happen all the time just when its under load and only if i don't take my foot off for the gear change.

Please Help and thank you

Tom.

He said a "100 cell cat".

Anyway, an upshift backfire is not uncommon on auto Skylines, especially with a big exhaust. Not normally a really loud bang though. Usually just a sexy little pop thud. My R32 used to upshift dead on the rev limiter (while it was still auto) and the sound was the only good thing abotu the auto.

Yeah I was hoping it was just that I googled it before and it's came up with alsorts of stuff about transmission mounts on the way out.

Thanks man

there could be a leak in the exhaust system somewhere.. that causes bangs.

Gahh i would hope not i got it less then a month ago lol

And yeah its been there since i have had the new zorst put on But its got louder which i put it down to Carbon build up Still makes me abit nervous.

And with the Ecu that definitely sounds possible it would explain the bang probably needs a re tune soon any way I reckon i will do that After i get my FMIC put on in a week or 2.

did you re tighten them after it was warm? steel expands bud so things loosen themselves.

also ECU could sound right as when high in the revs you will get an injection pulse when you release the accelerator. i think its to cool down pistons or something but i know it does it

ECU on auto skylines retard timing on upshift to protect the gearbox

manual doesnt

retarded timing on 0 load high rpm creates the bang

so its just the ecu, nothing to stress about

anyone who has a power fc in their manual, try changing the timing advance in first row to 0, it'll do the same too, refer to paulr33's PFC FAQ

Ok so i checked it out and yes it is the ecu!

Sooo with tax time conveniently placed just around when i need a tune i think i might invest in a EBC, Nistune and have a FMIC already then i just need it all fitted.

Fingers Crossed for 180-200kw at the wheels :banana:

Thanks for the help :thanks:

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
