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.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
