All of a sudden today, the car goes spastic again out of the blue. Like the title says, it putters on idle that u can here popping noises and it idles like a rotor....like 'putt putt putt' noise instead of one drawn out noise like it should be. It also jumps between 200-900rpm, car 'misses' on initial take off too. Also when i go to change gears the revs also drop very low like 200-500, sometimes even 100rpm. Could it be spark plugs or the coilpack loom? because the rb25de neos have all that crap on top of the spark plugs so u gotta dismantle the intake piping and a part of the throttle body and plenum, also a few more hoses so that takes a fair bit of time. I had to modify and change one of the coilpack loom plugs because i broke the clips on the old one but when i unplugged the usual suspect coil plugs clips and the cylinders seem to be running fine.Also im having problem with coolant leaking where spark plug 1 and 2 is occasionally.

I need to get to work so im still going to be driving this thing. Any help would be appreciated

This may be your problem. Where is the coolant coming from and where is it going. Edited by XGTRX

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
