you sure its missing, i thought mine was so changed my plugs and coil packs was still doing it turned out to be the fuel pump acting up. get it on a dyno iam sure thay will tell you what the problem is.

Come to think of it, its kind of doing the boost cut or feul cut thing. it is boosting ok, but just sperts and carries on. Then at idle it just misses every now and then.

the only thing i have done is put a front mount in thats all

mate, i also have a similar problem and after 3 years am still searching for an answer...

i've got my eyes glued to this thread!

hahahah well im hoping someone will have an answer for me, driving to work today was ok until about 5 minutes from work it jerked alittle down low but up high is ok. i dont know what the issue is

its a common problem. Its the valve seats. What happens is you bring a car like a skyline to Australia and run it on the shitty fuel and it valve seats get dirty and every now and then a valve doesn't seat properly temporarily losing compression on that stroke.

The valves slowly rotate... therefore every now and then not seating properly.

if you want it to go away, take off your head and get a valve seat grind.

Other than that, just leave it.

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
