Power Loss On Downshifts, Bouncing Idle And Slight Hesitation At Specific Rev Point -R34Gtt


Recommended Posts

Yeh that was the only mod, block off bov after tune - and yes they don't bloody know what the problem is lol..

It can still get reversion with the BOV blocked, when you shut the throttle the air built up by the turbo has to go somewhere and with no where else to go it goes backwards through the turbo to the AFM

That could also be causing and increasing the hesitation between gears

Then this.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Unblock it.

Actually, at this point, going back to the first post in thread....I want to know what Ron meant by "jumps down 5 or 6 cells". By this I mean......down as in down the screen (which is an increase in load on a PFC, yes?) or down as in less load.

And, can we see photos of the BOV return location at the turbo intake please?

BOV return looks ok for the record. I doubt given the bend in the intake pipe and the location and angle of BOV return this is causing any issues.

A lot of smack being spoken about the tuner with many of you having nfi.

My bov return was on a similar angle and caused issues untill I changed it to approx 45 degree angle pointing straight at the compressor. This made a huge improvement.

Afm's are very sensitive.

The tuner talk is obviously going to happen, seeing as the car isn't running right and they can't see why or fix it. That would be extremely frustrating for Ron.

For the record you have no idea if it has been tuned well , just the same as guys that are suggesting it could be the tunes fault don't know either. The high fuel consumption certainly suggests it's not an ideal tune in the cruise areas don't you think?

I know with the GTRs when you change from rubber intake to alloy ones with AFMs still in play they tend to get reversion even if they are exactly as per factory, something to do with the ribs in the rubber pipes regulating the air speeds

AFMs are very sensitive to even very small changes and as Ben said the return should be pointed at the compressor wheel, it helps the air circulate through the turbo to the BOV and around again instead of backing up though the AFM

A blocked BOV will give the same result as a open atom BOV as the already metered air passes back through it telling the ECU it has air going into the motor as AFMs don't know which way air is flowing only how much is passing through it

You need to get someone to watch the AFM map trace as you drive and see what it does

This ^^

I think we discussed this already, about a year ago... And I gave up on it. AFM's can read up to 1 volt of reverse flow.

What I don't understand is how the tuner can't work out what's going on...

My intake again - the black rubber breather hose on left from cam cover wraps under intake pipe before curling over it to the joiner/entry, courtesy of JEM's 3rd party fabricators :Dpost-49401-14072786740475_thumb.jpg

GTSBoy yes the map tracer leaps down/south towards the higher load areas- literally jumps 5-6 cells-- r&r basically

No such thing, it jumps because the ECU is interpreting load not going into R&R

Scotty, the tuner says that at that point the ecu is dumping tons of fuel and retarding the timing like a mofo, this problem is not intermittent but constant, hence he decided the afm is ok- said to look at the entry angle of the bov return, relocating afm etc- but I doubt this would solve the issue- with Nistune and same all else this problem didnt exist- he said filters in Nistune mask the problem out- Im like really..

My cars been running rough again lately with O2 feedback off- do I disconnect the O2 plug too ?? cos the powerfc is still reading the sensor voltage and its variable volts with throttle input.

Yavuz saw it jump and thats when he was convinced theres a big problem- he said that its dumping fuel n retarding timing at that point.

Yesterday I unplugged the z32 and it wouldnt even start- just cough cough and die lol

That hose looks like its not a good fit and the pipe even looks oval shaped?

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • 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
