Sup Y'all?

I've been hiding... Busy working too much, getting a house built, planning weddings... The usual time consuming stuff...

Damn work made me miss pork knuckle :( It's been a whole 4 days since my last pork knuckle :( But that one was at Barvarian Bier Cafe not Z german club...

No more like.... *Marp marp marp marp marp crush grind ping knock knock knock knock*

This was more along the lines of it.. it was telling a lot of poor knock knock jokes till it was no more. Driving it home in 5 cylinders didn't help either

u need to get it checked out man. I think it's internal sadly :(

sigh... ill keep looking for something. might try and do a comp test and check for leaks this weekend.

would a small leak cause it to hunt like that? or a possible dead coil pack?

i unplugged the AFM and still ran shit dont think its a air leak...

facts are as follows Ed:

1. Something went bang whilst driving / been driven

2. Big puffs of smoke coming out the exhaust (what color is it BTW?)

3. Engine runs like a donkey ever since noise occurred

4. New set of plugs did not fix the problem

5. Take the guidance of Ants and see a Mech for diagnosis of engine

Yes, leak test and comp test are on the cards Ed.

Im guna say it.

I call bs it went bang at idle. You were boosting and split a hose. Do a boost leak test, check all hose clamps, ic piping etc.

seriously it was sitting at lights when it happen didn't even boost it cause car was still cold.... so from that video you would look for a split ic piping ect?

just watched the vid. Sounds terrible but could be the location. Let idle and pull coil pack connectors 1 at a time and see if rpms change. If the rpms drop on a particular cyl report back. Edited by MagicMikeZ32

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
