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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
