you say all of a sudden, yet you mentioned it only occured straight after you pulled everything out from under the dash - conincidence you think?

double check whatever you did and triple check it - it might be something obvious or loose that is causing a bad earth. given it was fine before you started fiddling its a high possibility whatever you were doing has caused it

by saying all of a sudden i indeed meant straight after i removed everything ;) im thinking that all of that stuff could have helped earth the car. i know it really needs a tune just waiting on a clutch. one other thing i did b4 going for a drive was alter the cas and cam gears. but ive done this b4 and it had no such affect.

nah everything is brand spankers and i done all the work, but it never did this until i removed the dash the other day. ive also moved the cam gears to where they are now (0 degrees) and was never like this. when i started the car up it almost felt like the accelerator had no effect for a bit. i think im goin to change the cas cos thats the only thing i can think of doin this.

By changing the cam gears u affect the tune alot with a d jetro due to the map sensors, if it was using airflow meters it wouldnt be as bad.

Try pitting the cam gears back and see if it fixes it. Then readjust them when u tune it

well its running beautifully now and i think it was the cas. when i took it off to put the cam gears bak to 0, i left the actual cas on the mounting bracket so it didnt move. but when it goes bak on its hard to get the keyway to line up perfect. i think it was sitting out a bit and the keyway not locked into the grooves ... one other thing it could have been was the aftermarket oil pressure sender, it has only one pin for the light. i unplugged it this arv and im going to get a new stock one. oh and the dash was removed to take out the heater core, a/c condensor and fan.

Can anyone confirm if the earthing wire solution fixed the issue? If so could somone take a pic for me showing me what needs to be done as I have this issue ony my 32 gtr with a power fc.

interesting topic, is this issue only related to normal pfc?

I am running dejtro in r32 gtr and have missfiring issue under light load.

Have replace spark plugs, coil packs, coil pack harness. it went away but has since come back

seems to only happen atm when downshifting + rev matching, low rpm from what i notice under 3000-4000rpm, currently running with o2 sensors off

had a chat to my tuner and he wants it back on the dyno to see if its tune related

It's a random thing.

Not a constantly repeatable one.

If you can force it to occur, then you've other issues than the ECU having a minor hiccup due to the addressing once every so often

doesn't happen all time just now and then, i just notice it mainly happens in low rpm and light throttle.

will get it on the dyno to double check the tune, and might try some of the grounding issue.

the only other thing i can thing of if its not the pfc then i might be the box mounted on the coil pack cover (forgets its name)

For me it sounds like what other people have. It just seems to randomly happen maybe once a week and it typically seemed to happen when cruising on the highway around 100km sitting just under 3000rpm, it feels like a sudden jolt but only happens for half a second and returns to normal.

ive had similar issues with power fcs and earths (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/349571-erratic-tps-34-gtr/, earthing pin #60 of the ecu to the chassis ground had a physical effect on the voltage to the problem at the time. clearing the signal to the atessa. its a simple job. could fix the stutter issue of the fc

hey guys, sorry to open a old thread but having this problem at the moment. done a service (plugs and oil) on my r33 gtst with PFC and now having this intermittent miss. thinking i had a bung plug i changed all the plugs but it is still there. ok under power but has little misses at about 80km/hr under light load. did other guys sort out there missing problems or is it still common. im about to rip out the coil packs and get them tested but i dont think its them as the car run ok before the service and is fine under load at high rpm. im going to have a look at the earthing of the igniter module as well. any other ideas. cars got following mods

pfc

high flow turbo

550cc injectors

hey guys, fixed the problem on my old gtst(ended up being a loose injector plug) BUT my GTR is doing it, same thing, intermittent hiccup when cruising. have extra earthing wires everywhere under the bonnet but still there. ???

Has anyone tried to get a fix out of Apexi. Surely with such a well documented problem they could come up with a remedy in the software. I have this problem about 3-4 times a day on my rb25 running a v8.04a rb26 PFC. Always light throttle, and it seems like when adding throttle, it feels like you turned off the key for half a second. I have added a ground to the ignitor case, but have had no change.

Strange, Apexi USA is still open, and the Apexi Japan site is up. I always have the o2 feedback off as I have not finished the tune yet. I had a SR20DET before with a PFC without this issue. I am using the same TPS and Z32 AFM as before, so I do not suspect them to have any problems.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
