hey guys just purchased a 99 gtr vspec and am having an issue when i come onto boost starts at about 4.5k rpm and gets worse as u accelerate. it feels like im losing traction and the cars rear will kick out to the right. i plan to taqke it to the shop to get it looked at but was just wondering if anyone had an idea of what it might be. It may be something as silly as a boost leak or something, ive come from an sti and ive had boost leaks before doesnt feel anything like that tho car shakes and feels like its jerking back and forth throughout the rev range. car is completely stock no mods other than pirelli p zeros all round no engine work done. if i let the boost build up slowly it wont freak out and cause the problem only when i hit full boost it will start ripping up the tyres and sliding out. ive checked for boost leaks spraying on ic pipes etc but no luck so far locating the issue could this me a afm issue or something to do with the air/fuel raitos? the restrictor pill was removed by owner in japan and is running 1bar.

sorry if this was a silly question or has been answered elsewhere, i just cant put my finger on it!

Have you considered that you are now driving a RWD biased AWD car and it could actually be losing traction at the rear simply because it is losing traction?

There may or may not be an alignment problem or worn bushes or subframe mounts etc etc that might be causing it. It doesn't HAVE to be coming from the engine end of the car!

If its standard as you claim it shouldn't be doing that.

But if its modded.....fully sik. :)

On a serious note, my GTRs rear use to come out under power, she would crab walk, ended up being the subframe bushes were leaking and i put some alloy C rings in place to stop it, she went straight after that.

Itsat standard vspec height its sitting on original suspension also yes it still has original coil packs. I will have to look into the subframe bushes hopefully something turns up..n yes gts boy i understand that its not a full time awd but this is not just simply breaking traction due to power from the rears its more like when i come on boost imagine like fuel surge bunny hops and makes the car break traction and jerks the car forward and backward similar to what youd feel when you have a large boost leak..soo frustrating!

It could be the ATTESA system that also activates the rear A-LSD on a R34 V-SPEC needs bleeding

Either way it sounds like the car has some issues, best off getting it to someone that knows these cars so they can give it the once over

If boost (positive pressure) Is only coming in at 4.5K rpm on standard turbos you have issues... Are you sure this is the case as per your post???

**edit** i think i misread due to punctuation... You are on boost, then at 4.5K rpm you have traction issues

Yep the tyres are all the same size, i think it sounds like axle tramp, never experienced it before but sounds on par with whats going on with mine. Thanks guys and

  • XKLABA i will have to check out the attesa see if it needs bleeding. Could be a combo of all of these things just helps to narrow it down a little.

Cheers for the info guys ill report back after a once over from my mechanic if anyone is curious as to what the problem was.

If a stock R34 GTR is breaking traction it has a 4WD problem of some sort, or very very shit tyres, if it has a 4WD problem and is a V-Spec it will most likely have an A-LSD problem to

A small air pocket won't kick a code but will slow down the operation speed of the diff and 4WD

Lol. How can it break traction and jerk back and forth.

Axle tramp is like a hopping sensation in the back.

Sti and gtr are WORLDS apart in how they drive

yep im not exactly sure mate feels like a little of both at the same time im assuming it has something to do with the attesa ill take it to croydon see what they make of it

ye exactly it feels like the torque is being split up unevenly or delayed, i have a feeling your on the money.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
