Need some advice on this. Have read a few different threads.

Details:

Car runs stock bov. 10psi boost stock airbox and turbo. R33 gtst. 3" exhaust turbo back with unknown brand of cat and stock ecu

Problem:

Car runs ok using 10psi. However if you do more than about 4 or 5 bursts of full throttle there is some big bangs from exhaust on decel and you can even hear small bangs when back at idle.

Tps signal seems ok. Checked that on the PFC. Will switch to PFC once I get the Wideband in but would like to sort this first

Exhaust doesn't appear to have a leak. Not sure how old cat is.

When I changed the exhaust the mechanic thought there may be hairline crack in exhaust manifold but there us no soot or any signs of leak from it.

Problem may be slightly worse after fill up.

It still has a charcoal canister connected but one of the pipes on top of engine is blocked off. I.e only one line going to canister so assume no feed back into engine?

What I though it could be:

1. Leaky injector. But wouldn't it not just be after a number of runs.

2. Exhaust leak. Can't see soot anywhere or hear any leaks

3. Overfuel of stock ecu. I had a previous r33 that got down to about 9:1 and still didn't bang so don't think it's that. Running lower boost doesn't seem to change that much

It's just strange that it's only after car is really warm etc that it does it.

The exhaust installer did say the manifold looked as if it had been quite warm at some stage. Metal is very grey from heat. But I think most manis look like that after a few years..

One strange thing that after a fuel fill up I can sometimes hear a vibration noise that cones and goes from near the filler cap.

I opened the cap and the noise stopped and sounded like a pressure release. So might need to check that out. But if there is no return in the charcoal canister and the fuel injectors are shut on decel this shouldn't really be causing the issue

Sorry about the essay.. Got a few things to check I guess. Anyone had this or got ideas?

Cheers

Yeah after a few runs it will be running rich to protect the motor and thats when it seems to bang.

I can do a brap here in there then on decel it will pop and play up.

Shouldnt be to worried.

Maybe chuck the FC in and get it tuned for the boost its running?

Can somebody tell me where the charcoal canister lines run?

Near the crossover pipe there are 2 small tubes.

The top one runs to the charcoal canister (looks like after market as mounted lower than the stock one)

The bottom tube has been blocked off.

Is the bottom one the feed back into engine?

There seems to be some pressure build up in the fuel tank. You can hear some noise around the cap when fuel tank is close to full and when you undo the cap there appears to be quite a release and noise goes away .

I wonder if this has anything to do with the backfire I.e an incorrect functioning fuel tank vent

Thanks. Yes - that sounds pretty important!! Is this the one? Looks like the hose is crushed and quite old..

Anyway - the setup doesn't appear stock. Will need to look at it. It's a huge canister mounted low. See some photos.

Hopefully fixing this may alleviate the issue.

Thanks mate that would be great. If you take a photo near your canister also that would be good.

Looks like someone has fitted a bigger charcoal canister at some point and botched the standard setup! Might try and get a stock canister and plumb things up as per stock

Hmm. Think it's been like that for a while re. wetness around pipe.

Might have to check the PCV and around turbo.

Engine doesn't blow any smoke and doesn't use any oil so dont think blowby could be THAT bad??

There isn't any leaks around the rocker covers which is where you would expect it if it way that bad??

thanks

    • 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
