Hi Guys, recently my car starts to jerk a little once it touches 3000rpm and stops at 4000rpm. This happens especially in the morning and also when say u are crusing at a constant speed and u step a bit more gas suddenly. Doesnt matter which gear u are on so long as it touches that range it will start to jerk a bit. If I were to do a launch, I realise there no jerking at all. Don't think its the boost cut because u don't have to put your foot down all the way to have the jerking. And it's not misfiring for sure coz I just changed my plugs and regapped to 0.8. My fuel pump works fine and injectors too I think, if not the jerking might be everywhere when I push the motor. Wondering if any of u guys had this problem before or any of u can help.

is it making a sort of stuttering noise? if so its probably a boost leak.. check all your major hoses and intake piping.

Had that problem in the past myself. Ok at light throttle, but soon as it got to a certain point the motor (or ECU working out the engine was lacking) would start playing funny buggers and stutter.

I've had this problem as well. I would be willing to bet you a slab of beer it's a bad plug or dirty coils. If your out north take it to these guys

My car just came back from the wrokshop. Problem solve...phewww! My cam sensor is faulty. Now it is back to normal. But my tuner actually lower my boost to 0.70 - 0.75 Bar and surprisingly I got a little kws on wheels gain comparing with what I boost before (0.95-1.0 bar). So theortically if I boost back to 0.95 - 1.0 Bar I get more rwkws? What do u guys reckon?

i have the same problem , like someone tapping on yr brakes when u accelerate. It only started happening only after i had my fmic , pump , regulator and boost (0.9bar). I just changed my plugs with .8 gap so cant be plugs. is it really the coils?

Hard to say unless you drive the thing yourself. I had a similar problem between 4000 -5000. I tried so many things, including new platinum plugs, pulled out the injectors and had them cleaned and flow tested, new oxygen sensor blah blah blah....still happening.

I swapped my old pod filter for a spanking new K&N pod..... problem solved. Guess she wasn't sucking enough air. Some times it's the little things :D

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
