When you have cams, injectors and its all mapped... does the gtr sound funny when its idling...?

Not "funny car" lumpy... like with big cams but my car does make some strange noises on tickover. Is it normal?

 

[G40tee]

what size injectors?

sometimes they can be noisy so you hear the tick of the injectors opening etc.

if the cams are big and std buckets etc sometimes they can make a nice tapping noise as well. what do you classify as strange?

 

[GTRSTILL]

650s but its not a mechanical tapping sound or ticking of injectors... its in the exhaust noise.... theres the standard hummm of the car, then a kind of "braaa braaa braaa braaa braa.. hummmmmmmm braaa braaa braaa braaaaa hummmmmmm"....

is the best way to describe it.

 

[G40tee]

does the car idle properly or do you see the revs hunting a little bit?

 

[GTRSTILL]

idle is totally stable, its not lumpy in any way and revs cleanly always.

bloody hard to explain what I mean.

 

[Barros777]

u can perhaps make a small video it would help.

do u also have a lighter flywheel??

my idel did change with a loghter flywheel and cams....

 

[GTRSTILL]

can you imagine sound gaps in the exhaust flow???????

My o2 sensors are completely none responsive and will be replaced next week when nissan deliver. So I know its off the scale rich on idle and cruising. Could this be it?

 

[GTRSTILL]

Yep, OS Giken lightened flywheel but its not that sound. I know the one you mean...

 

[GTRSTILL]

I know it sounds daft but say the following out loud or even in your head and this is how it sounds LOL

"bbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbbbbbbrrrr

The RRRRRRs are normal exhaust tickover

 

[G40tee]

yeah a video or sound clip would help.

no exhaust blows etc im assuming (stupid question i think but cant hurt to ask)

what cams have you got in there?

does it do it all the time? or just when cold/hot?

I think (if i can remember!) haha that mine has a similar sound on idle, can sometimes be really cammy on idle or sometimes hunt for about 20 secs then settle out to a nice beat

is just the way mine is setup back from tweenie and i love it.haha

what ecu do you have?



it is annoying me but i think i know what you mean, cant describe it though other than how you have! haha

 

[GTRSTILL]

Nistune and it does it more than the VX ROM I had before.... The cams are 254 9.2 lift... so very mild stage 1 mines.

It does it all the time.

I dont actually mind it to be honest as it makes people look but would love to know if it a fault or a feature.

 

[G40tee]

i severely doubt it is a fault mate, mine came back from our mapping session like that and i love it, just seems to be a small feature of the cams i reckon.

im sure someone could happily take a look at it but i cant see it being a problem, imagine it is just the setup you have. every idle is different in tuned cars what i have seen. just a profile of your car!

This should be the post of the year lol!

hummm

the cams are "sharp" to make a big difference in idle...

it is a metal sound??

edit:

are the "b"s not noise??

if so, my car does the same.and it is a AFM

 

[GTRSTILL]

Perhaps you are right, she was only mapped a month ago and the thing is a rocket ship.


You post did make me sad though, when I told Rob the M3 was off and I was going back to an R32 he was well chuffed. He never got to see my new car and I was only on tribute pics did I see we had the same front spoiler. He would have loved my motor. It was booked in 2 weeks after.

thanks for the help mate.

[GTRSTILL]

My AFMs are Mine's and when she was Mapped they were returning good signals....

I will clean them again and lets see what happens!

Cheers dude

The man was a legend mate. Am glad i gave the car to him to build me an engine for

Im sure he would have loved your car dude and i imagine he smiled when he looked down and saw it! Justin is making him proud and if i was keeping the car would definately be going back there for a wad of cash for a Rb30! haha :s

As others have suggested, check afms, ecu readings, idle etc but from what it sounds just sounds like the way the mods on your car are setup and sounds alot like my idle but a bit less cammy

 

[SeR GTR]

It's bec. of the new profile lift of the cams IMO. Same thing w/ a friend's "Ess Arr 20" before. Nothing to worry about... I think.

 

[chippy]

Its your cams,.bigger cams worse idle........
nothing to worry about
