Slight Stutter When Ac Is On..?

Ive noticed that when I have the AC on the car has like a slight miss or stutter occasionally, its very minimal, and Ive only noticed it when cruising, not on the power.

Would this be a tune issue or would it point to one of the air valves on the plenum having a prob?

It has a forward facing plenum and I plumbed all the IAC or AAC valves in

build specs are as per signature.

turn AC off and of course problem goes away...

Mine has done the same thing since day one, I think it's just a slight load type difference when the compressor comes on and off.

I asked my tuner about it years ago and he reckons its nothing to worry about.

Annoys me though, like a little "blip" every now and then yeh???

To state the obvious, turning the AC on puts a higher load on the front pulleys including the one that runs the alternator.

It also puts a higher load on the cars electrical system as it energizes a clutch pack on the AC pump and runs the rest of the system (fans internal/external, drier, controls etc.)

So anyway, moral of the story is... Put an earth kit together and strap it to all the right places. That should fix it.

There are about 1000 wires connected to the positive circuit and one 20 year old earth strap that bolts onto the body and motor in 1 spot each (assuming your car still has factory earthing). As we learn in high school science, energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred. So in theory there's no where near the same return wiring as there are wires drawing away from the battery. Its a circuit, that's how it works (don't flame me saying you know, I'm putting it out there for future readers who might not).

So the earthing kits actually do have a real useful purpose...?? Hmmm

I just thought it was another semi useless mod that people did, like pod filter or engine shock absorber..

So earthing kit should stop that from happening?

And its not a tune issue?

Cause i didnt notice this before, its only been since the last tune, maybe he did something to change the earthing, maybe?

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
