Hey, im having a problem with my RB20DET (R32 gtst) When i rev the car to about 4000rpm+ sometimes I get a popping noise from the exhaust. It doesnt seem to loose power but as you can imagine i am off the gas as soon as it happens!

Anyone got any ideas on what it could be? I was thinking faulty coil packs or Sparkplugs!

I just read another thread....

Another guy had same problem and faulty coil pack for him.....but also check about fuel richness, could also be a contributing factor.....not sure though....hopefully someone with more knowledge will post soon....:cheers:

Check all of the above, plug, coils etc

a mate of mine also had a similar problem, it would only occur now and then, it turned out to be the crank angle sensor had come a little loose at some stage and it had chewed all the gearing of the exhaust cam - result - new exhaust cam and CAS had to go in, and problem fixed

Check to see if the CAS is tight, or even pull it off and have a look at the splined gear inside, if its all chewed up, chances are thats your problem

had exact same problem with mine yesterday...... under load and at about 4000 rpm and REALLY badly at 5000rpm it would be popping and braking down on power delivery..... got it home after blowing smoke and dropping flames..hehe ...... changed the plugs and now she;s good as gold now.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
