Rpm Dropping After A Launch = Bad Launch Or Vacuum Leak ?

Just trying to figured out if my RPM dropping problem is ''normal'' due to having a modded skyline gtr or this could be due to a vacuum leak somewhere.

Basicly what happens is when i lift off the clutch on a stop, the rpm usually wants to drop by about 500 rpms. So I usually end up ''sliding'' the clutch to minimise the rpm drop or else the car might just stall.

The problem is even worst when i try launching at 4-5k. as soon as i lift the clutch, the rpm goes down to like 1.5k. Is this normal or I'm having a problem ?

For reference, I'm running on map with one atmo blitz bov ( i guess this could be my problem ?).

Yes it's normal

Hold it at 7 and side step the clutch the revs will drop but the car accelerate and the revs will begin to climb again as full traction is retained when it get back to 7 grab 2nd

Unless it really dies away in which case you've bogged it down and need more revs but 7 seems to be the number in most cases

So your talking about bogging down on launch?

Yep more RPM.

And a little tip, dont run a lightened flywheel, it makes life worse, heavy flywheels add momentum and push to the driveline to get you out of the hole.

well.. this is already done im afraid.. os giken TS clutch with the flywheel.

And thanks for confirming what I thought lol.. I'm not reving enough. will try next time I go to the dragstrip, I must say tho that I didn't had my 4wd working last time so i wanted to minimise the wheelspin, actually. Maybe I was doing it wrong.

Exactly throw mechanical sympathy out the window

dial in 7,000rpm,

pull your foot off the clutch as fast as possible and mash the accelerator into the floor and hold on,

when the revs swing back to 7 grab 2nd

Kml. This happened to me the first time I launched a gtr. I just got pissed off and tried to kill the thing after a 5k launch didnt work. Thats when I learned that all they like is revs. For me keep it 100rpms under redline or fuel cut. Then pop the clutch and let the bitch rip. For years I tried to beat a gtr with a gtst and never could, but the day I got a good launch in a gtr, I said right away to myself. I need an official drag strip with track bite to beat a grt off the line, and to the 1320 feet mark. Gtrs are truly street kings mate, at least for me.

Piss the atmo BOV off and it should stop the stalling when coming to a stop. The problem is the AFM is registering a certan ammount of air passing through it and then your dumping it out of the system and screwing up the tune

As for launching, its trial and error

I agree. This is a big topic and if ya want the atmo bov the get a ecu that support that type of bov. Like a djetro power fc etc. Otherwise thats whats happening. There are just to much people that dont understand the system. Dont change the system that nissan designed just upgrade it. Vent it back in properly and it will stop dieing.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
