Hello,

Will give you guys some background.

R32 GTR - built engine.

I have had this cough nothing major when cruising around the city or on the motorway at low RPM. As soon as it happens (its not even major) it is fine and you can accelerate fine.

It does happen when you start to accelerate.

Have new platinum spark plugs

new spitfire coil packs (did this after i did those before it was built)

HKS F-con pro (latest version)

HKS EBC

Forged blah blah blah.

Now I was thinking it could be the wiring harness to the coils but not 100%.

Like is said there is no miss/cough anywhere accept when you start to accelerate from low rpm and its not even major but it is there.

Yeah it is at the same load point. So you could be in 4th at 2k rpm. just put your foot down it cough/miss.

as soon as you go past it she's mint and its so brief that it just more annoying than anything.

It has Tomei Poncams in it as well as cam gears.

it still happened before the engine was built and before i had new turbos (-5's).

Did it happen before i had the computer? I couldn't tell you have had it for awhile now.

i believe this sounds like the power fc cough that has been talked about here before...wonder if its similar but with the HKS.... anyway...one of the solutions that worked for some was to fix up and make better all the grounding points in the ingnition harness and ignitor.

Yeah called the tuner he does think it could the ignition harness and ignitor. Ah well might have to replace after all it is 25 years old :)

Other than that the car is running perfect and goes hard.

Thanks for the help much appreciated.

New Nismo Race pump with FPR.

Mine was a new 275 with new FPR! Started out Ok then over a few months started as a very quite and gentle 'choo' type sneeze then slowly got louder. Pump eventually went very noisy so I replaced it and problem solved.

Interesting - the tuner that did it is a native Japanese (used to work for Nismo afaik) and he is HKS certified.

He tunes big power GTR's here in NZ/Aussie (when called) and other big power cars.

It just had a retune after the rebuild and has the same little cough.

I will pop him another call get him to check.

$130us for a WB these days, shipped. Should be pretty easy to see if there is a lean spot on acceleration with one of them mounted in the exhaust. He might not see it as well on the tailpipe wideband.

I have had all kinds of tuning 'faults', that one included. My evo does it on cold start atm, I need to fatten up the cold start map but I will just be wasting fuel I guess.

Spools the turbo extremely well though. The joys of not having to worry about knock. :P

WB is the brand. http://www.wide-band.com/widebandproducts. Looks like the price went up $15 since I bought mine a couple of months ago. I got the tiny display to hide behind the clock.

I get what i think is the same cough in the gtr but haven't really tried anything to fix it yet... Think we had to lean the throttle enrichment a bit might check that as well. It's quite a violent cough sometimes though... Like early rev cut. Cheers for the links.

My E85 cold start makes the 25 brap like a PP 13B for a few seconds.

Decided I'd leave it as is.

But yeah, it the car pops or coughs as soon as you press the throttle, its the throttle pump/accel enrichment

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
