i have a r33 gtst and while im accelerating with my foot to the floor, when i hit about 4 or 5 thousand rpm i get a massive pop comming through the exhaust. its not that loud but while it does the single pop the car stopped accelerating for that brief second and then screams the rest of the way to red line.

im worried if this is a bad thing or if it can do any damage at all.

any ideas?

Sounds like fuel cut from the boost limiter in the stock CPU.

If your not running more then 9 or 10 psi or do have a boost cut defender then it would be the fuel supply not keeping up with demand as you come on boost hard.

Another cause is old or faulty plugs, or wrong plug gap. Take em out and inspect the colour and condition of the core and electrode.

The reason why i would think it is not plugs initially, is the fact that it happens only at 5-6 grand and then cleans up to the red line.

When my plugs were bad it broke down all the way to the red line when ever under high boost load.

yes i mean that ...kind off like when its hitting fuel cut , u will see a blast of black smoke during that pop....

you will know if its pinging mate , just listen for a ratteling sound coming from the valve train ... like a clangy sound , that means its realy lean and its pre detoating due too great heat in the combustion chamber, if its doing this STOP! straight away or youll have melted pistons in no time ......

well if u can see no puff of smoke i think u might be leaning out mate ... how much boost are you running and do u have a fuel cut defender or anything else modified too your computer system

"Wont damage the car man just the DAM engine ... just imagine your seeing your girlfreind ***ing another bloke infront of you , thats how bad the engine is hurting when your leaning it out ....."

Um yeah......... You could put it that way I suppose. LOL

ummm ive actually knoticed my poppin..but its only when i like rev it to say 5-6000rpm in first gear and wen i knock it down to 2nd, it makes the pop noise..

is my problem the same as letemlaf ?

its mainly the rich fuel curve in the fuel map after boosting hard you back of str8 away and there will be excess fuel in the exhaust and combustion chamber and when u come back on hard you are just burning alot more fuel at that moment thats why u get a wicked pop and maby even a shoot of flame if u have a hi flow cat or better yet non at all ..

it sounds like your coil packs are getting tired, mine does the same thing. check plugs first - i'd put new plugs in people recommend gapping them to 0.8. if you've done that and it's still missing i'd say coil packs.

yes it would be this man but if it was popping and farting all the way up the load range not just at 5-6k ........ but yes check the GAP .8 of a mill is the way too go .....but i realy do recomend a fuel pressure check and fuel flow check ...

yeh any mechanic with the device , just say i think my fuel pump may be on its way out and need a check up for flow and pressure , would be better on a dyno , not much if its just a check without a dyno about 30 bucks but if u wanna check up on the dyno well im not sure there i say around 100 .... ? all depends on the leniency off the mechanic

im gonna take the spark plugs out and check them tomorrow morning,

at the back of the black cover theres some kind of sensor or something.

is that hard to take off and replace or is there anything else that might be a ittle bit tricky that i need to watch out for?

then ill get the fuel flow tested

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
