Ok something's up with my 'Line....

Sunday night driving home from work i gave the car a workout in 1st gear. Upon hitting near full boost, the car made a horrible banging (backfiring sort of sound) and to the best of my memory seemed as if it was hitting fuel cut. This was at only about 5000rpm (if that). I thought id put the exhaust wheel out through the pipes.. However the turbo still spools up as it ever did. Accerleration seems to be unchanged.

Tonight i drove the car out of the carpark and gave it a bit of curry (still cautious of the prob from the other night). Again it made that backfiring type of banging/clunking sound as it was approaching full boost. I tried it again a few mins later and it did the same thing again. Scary sound. In 4th gear under full acceleration it did it as badly as when in 1st gear.

Now the last time i tried it in 4th i managed to see the boost gauge bouncing on and off 15psi. I have a dual stage boost controller (bleed valve) which is set at 12psi (low - which i drive on) and 14psi (high).... As i understand it, seeing 15psi would mean the boost is spiking due to manual b/c having poor wastegate control?

What could the problem be? Why would it be spiking now, when in 12mths of having the b/c fitted ive only seen it spike by 1psi when on high-setting?

Could there be a more serious problem?

when you changed your boost controller did you change ALL hoses? coz mine did the same thing once with a cracked hose on the underside, so i only found it once half the motor was on the drive way. solved my problem. post again with results and anything else you know of so we can all help.

No, i didnt replace anything extra at all.....

I havent had any other dramas and like i say ive had it installed for a year no probs...

im getting a service thursday anyway so ill get my mechanic to check it out - but sometimes it's better to hear from people who may have experienced the same things....

like i say it seems as though my fuel cut is intervening for some reason, possibly due to it spiking.... but why would it spike?

      Wheel refurb?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
