Hey Guys,

This week while driving i was on the highway and the car was running fine i then took an exit and was going doing 60 down a local road and my car started misfiring and carrying on so i went to pull over and the car stalled. I then waited a minute got the car to start and got it home with it misfiring and acting like it wanted to stall the hole time. Once i got it home it sat for around 20 minutes and then i started it and held it at a rev as it was still playing up and it seemed to stop whatever it was doing and drove fine however on and off of most trips ive done this week it has continued to have these mifiring spells and then when i seem to wait around 5 minutes the car runs perfect again!?

Has anyone experienced this i cant figure out whats causing it other then the thought of a faulty wire in my harness.

Regards,

Dan

Could be something clogged in the fuel system? Run a bottle of fuel treatment like injector cleaning stuff, and maybe take the coilpack cover off and see how that goes?

Stalling and idling like that usually means (if everything else is ok) some sort of vacuum leak. Check all your piping, it's possible that one of them is cracked or something, and with heat, it expands.

Hey man these people are only trying to give you some ideas to what could be wrong, any mechanic would only suggest the same without actually looking at the car and seeing what its doing and etc etc. to me what they have said sounds like a start and if none of these is the cause then at least you know what its not.

I had the same problem and still do ATM but car is off the road now. I knew i had a dodgy Fuel Pump cos it was running lean, and then all this started to happen, So i now have a new/bigger fuel pump and also a Z32 AFM being installed this week which should sort the problems out. I have also heard that the pipeing could also be a issue, but i'd start with the fuel pump if i was you!

Ive got a 500hp fuel pump that i havnt installed yet i guess its time to make the change and find out. Although i was talking to a guy at work who got fuel at a caltex same as me just last week aswell and ended up dieing half way down the road. He got towed and they emptied his tank and found that there was 20litres of water in the 50 litres he had purchased. So im wondering if i to got a batch of this shit fuel.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.

      After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

      The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
