R34Gtt Strong Cut,power Loss On Acceleration

After changing clutch I noticed during test drive that I have a strong cut- momentary powerloss till i lift off the pedal. Its almost like a cylinder cut or fuel cut that happens when the traction control kicks in. Usually happens when car has warmed up and on slightly hard acceleration. If revs/speed is built progressively the cut is not present.

Ive tried swapping the CAS as someone mentioned that their CAS was the cause of this.

Also tried unplugging and plugging the boost controller and MAP sensor. Im running MAFless so ive ruled out the AFM.

Anyone know what this could possibly be. Have tried a few things and im not able to pin point the problem.

No, it depends on the quality of spark they are producing - it's harder to ingnite fuel on boost (higher pressure, richer mixture etc)...so it could be fine during during low rpm operation. Best bet is to borrow someones coils that are known to work and see if they fix the problem.

If this doesn't work, i suggest taking it to your tuner and get him to have a look at the ecu map.

Also check you didn't dislodge/damage any wires when you took your gearbox off. Not sure what could cause this that runs near the box though.

Some progress or maybe just a little. Took of the intake and tested for boost leak for the second time. None were found,

Took my boost controller off and connected the wastegate directly to the cooler piping niple. It seemed like it worked at the start, managed to get it boosting up to 1/2 bar. But it was only because the car was still cold. The cut out is comes back when the car gets up to operating temperature.

Disconnected the wastagate and the flap is moving freely.

Took out the coilpacks and reconnected them with new spark plugs no luck.

Waiting for coilpacks to arrive hopefully that should fix it.

Have you tried going to 0.8mm copper plugs? Something like NGK BCPR6ES. Getting new coils is always a good idea. The fact that your problem arises when the car is warm points to a coil fault. I recommend yellowjackets over spitfires simply because I have never heard of anyone having problems with them and they have been fantastic in my car.

How much fuel is in the tank? It may be surging on acceleration.

inbetween 3/4 and half. Thought so aswell at the start i even thought the pump is dying out due to low voltage so i jumped in the boot and a mate drove around while i was checking the voltage 13.4v constant the pump. Also thought the rubber intake was sucking shut so I took it off. Will be contacting you soon for a metal one.

Ive already ordered Splitfires through JesseStreeter, soon as they arrive ill update if it fixes just incase someone may have the same problem in the future.

Just an update kind of really pissed that i changed the coilpacks and sparkplugs and the problem is still there. Car still randomly looses power when building boost or halfway between building to 16psi. Only thing this only happened after changing the gearbox . Any ideas of what could be the problem.

I was going to say factory intake pipe, but since you said it happens when building boost that wouldn't make sense.. Shame that you swapped out good coils and plugs to find the same problem.

All you changed was the GB? That shouldn't have an effect at all

i used a known working CAS from a friend's car did pretty much the same thing even tested them by spinning it and the injectors ticked. One thing ive noticed is that when you if you accelerate lighty but super steady you can just get it to boost up to 16psi. Might just swap out the turbo and see if that helps. Will update

Updating this thread for whoever might have the same problem. Hooked up a multimeter to all my sensors becasue it seems like a temperature related cut happening when the engine gets slightly warm. I found out that it was the MAP sensor, as soon as the boost starts building the voltage reading goes to zero. Looked at the temperature rating for the sensor and seems like it might have gotten too hot on the intake plenum and buggered it since it ranges from -20C to 105C.

Good reason there not to run Ebay sensors for critical tuning jobs.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
