It started at engine load at first, I changed the spark plugs to iridium plugs since they were recommended to me by the dealer I purchased the car from.

The miss started shortly after I got the 3 1/2 inch exhaust added and the bleed valve. It only happened at about > 5000RPM and the misses were very close together and continuous. Since then I have tried removing the bleed value and several other solutions such as changing the plugs back to standard platinum plugs. Also tried resetting the computer several times.

Both of these solutions seemed to have helped in the short term but then the problem started shortly after once again.

I have now noticed there is a miss once the car warms up at idle but it is very intermittent, it doesn't happen all the time and the idle RPM seems to vary and not stay at a constant.

I've been wondering if it could be the mass air flow sensor? Is there a test to see if this component is faulty?

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?

Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.

Cheers

:D

Sounds like it could be the AFM (Air Flow Meter). Cheapest way to test it is to swap it with another one to see if that resolves the issue...

It's easier with a GTR as you can disconnect one or the other and it will run off one AFM and stall if it's running off the faulty one!

Ask someone if you can temporarily swap it with someone else, maybe a mate that has the same car!

Also you could try getting the O2 Sensor checked, guess I should have checked what sorta car you have before posting lol. I just saw the thread and thought i'd have my lil say :D

Good luck mate..

Its very very easy to check if the air flow meter is faulty, unplug it and start the car, see if it idles all over the place like it did before.... if not then plug it back in... while the car is still going.... and listen for any changes...

as soon as you plug the afm back in... if the car changes idle speed and carries on... then it must be the afm that is faulty...

very very easy....

Sounds like coils may have small cracks, and one or more of them arent working due to it? You are running higher boost and under load std parts tend to break.

Do a search on mis-fire or coils or sparks and there seems to be alot of info. :D

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
