Just got my car back from the work shop, has now got 270 degree cams an cam gears, an the insides of the cat were removed as it was chocked up, an some other unrelated mods.

Car now pops under decelleration with an occasional loud pop (backfire?) when i back off from full throttle, (full revs) to grab nxt gear or just slow down with an occasional flame coming out the back exhaust.. wondering wot people's thought are, is this normal or would it be hurting the engine? :ermm:

Having not cat will allow the popping and flames travel all the way to the end of the exhaust. The cat usually stops this and the sound.

The other thing is, if you have an ATMO BOV, aw well as AFMs. This creates a rich condition on decell, and you will get this same issue, but more likely stalls and fouled plugs. The car will eventually start running like crap.

Yer i have an atmo bov, always have, were on the car when i bought it 4 years ago, chnaged where it is so its closer to the intake an put a diff bov on but both were atmo bov's. dont use the z32's anymore since i got a vipec bout 2 years ago.

Did u mean the car will start running like shit if the plugs carbon up or for a diff reason? =s

If you have a Vipec and you're running a map sensor, then the ATMO BOVs shouldn't be a problem. I've never liked them because the cars were never designed to operate that way, but thats just me, I've always noticed cars run better with the plumb back ones on. But where there are heavy mods, it doesn't usually matter any more.

Also, after clearing your cat, you might need a tune.

When I mentioned the plugs fouling, that will only happen with ATMO BOV's and AFMs.

But as I said earlier, with no cats, you will always get popping and flames, because the cats always block this. Its also how a cop can tell if you have not cat - because you are blowing flames. A smart one will simply hear it via the popping.

Anyway, the short version - No cats = popping and flames.

Car has been tuned since, thinkin of gettin a new cat again.. got 3inch in let out let on current cat with a 3inch high flow cat, does anyone know if you can put a 4 inch cat into a 3inch exhaust? or does the diff size (3inch -4inch-3inch) mess up the air flow too much?

:ermm: Ritio, will ring them tomorrow, an guess ill have take it back to brisbane when i get a spare weekend.. an get them to strap it back on the dyno. hopefully for free.. already spent 1k on tuning for the cam, an cam gears.. cat was removed before tuning. i dont mind paying out my hard earned dollars to overcharging performance shops but when i do, i expect the jobs to be done perfect.. an get annoyed when things aren't because it means wasting a weekend to go down to brissie drop the car off, an if it cant be fixed immediatley finding a lift home an a lift back down to pick it up when its ready, or paying an employee to pick me up an drop me off, or sometimes its easyier if im busy to tilt tray it.. which is all a pain in the ass.+1 reason for buyin a stock xr6-t

I have a 5in Venom 100 cell metal cat on a 3in exhaust - my theory is the bigger the cat the less the resistance.

Running exactly the same as you mate, never had any issues and in my opinion you can't go to big on a turbo!

  • 4 weeks later...

took the car back, over run fuel cut was turned off, he turned it on.. but does it need setting up? seemed to have fixed the car for a while unless it was coincidence, just a slight popping on decel nothing major, but by that night it was back to back firing/shooting flames with a load bang, big enough so i could see the flames in my right hand mirror (exhaust is on the left) probably once in every 12 gear changes under full accelleration (when i back off to change gears) Could it be possible the computer turned it back off?? drove it last nite with a car load of ppl seemed to back fire every gear change under acceleration to some degree some very large, some not so big, all Very noticable..

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
