hi all,

I've been experiencing backfire when pressing on the accelerator with a bit more force than say normal driving. I've searched the threads on backfire and can't seem to find or think of anything that may be relating to my issue. Am going to change spark plugs and coilpack was changed by previous owner.

So this afternoon i experimented with turning off tcs and flooring it a bit. No backfire. Turn tcs on floor it around 4000'rpm a little backfire. Was wondering if anyone has any knowledge as to whether this could be linked? At times it feels as if I'm flooding the engine causing a mismatch in petrol and air? Possibly running rich? Any help would be appreciated.

Coil packs possibly or fuel pump possibly not operating at full potential ?

No expert but can't see how traction control would do anything unless it is and electrical issue and tcs is connected to the same system as whats at fault ?

Try to run the ecu for errors or hook up a consult cable and check the sensors etc

sounds to me like your TCS working. cutting the spark? and a bit of unburnt fuel burning once it hits the turbine blades. similar to hitting the limiter for a split second. sounds pretty normal to me but im no expert on '34s

yeh pudz thats what my theory was. It certainly feels like this is happening when I'm in the drivers

seat. But like you and I we're no experts. Hopefully someone out there cam shed some light on the situation.

I'm going to get around to changing these soon. So many ideas on what could be happening.

Have a quick check and see if the previous owner remove the TCS butterfly, it's only secured by two screws inside the throttle body. If it's not there, when the system kicks in you get some decent backfires as you get reduced fuel, but not reduced airflow.

yeh thats another way you could describe it. When i put my foot down it goes then feels like it holds back then bang backfire. I've been taking TCS off and everythings been fine so far. I can c how thw whole unburnt fuel entering exhaust and exploding can happen because it feels as if im planting my foot down and flooding the engine. Really need an opinion with fact behind it. I can only guess as to what is happenning.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
