just now i took mi skyline out for a drive, there was a red xr6 at the lights near mindarie custom exhaust next to me so i hav it some heavy gas, wen i floored it as soon as the car started to hit 4500 rpm it started to cut out and make a series of back fire noise and lost power so i slowed down and then tried it again and it did the same thing? does any one know wat it could b?

dunno havnt checked aye, just started it up again then and it doesnt hav a smooth idleing noise to it, it runs for about 10 seconds then it will sound deep for a second then go back up to a higher pitched idleing sound, if that makes sense haha!

hey heres an idea.... coil packs :wave:

Just have a look to see if any of them are unplugged. They will be under that cover in the middle of the engine. The one that says "nissan 2500" if one of them is unplugged it will do that.

Just grab a set of alan keys and pull the cover off to have a squizz. Dont worry its just cosmetic really, you wont break anything.

hmmm guys... i think im having the same problem as well but might be a little different.. when i go on low boost at 0.5bar the car runs kinda smooth but when i switch on to high boost at 0.7bar the whole car seems to be missfiring hell alot like after 5000rpm's in 2nd gear and 3rd gear after 4000rpm's and so on.. it just keeps missfiring non stop... i heard some ppl say that i may need a safc as it may be running too rich coz i can see blacksmoke coming out from exhaust when i floor it in high boost and missfires. some say the spark plugs may not be gapped properly.. some say my fuel pump... any of u guys experienced this problem before?

Cheers

coilpacks.. replace them with splitfire ones off nengun or perfectrun.com.. the standard nissan ones are like a grand to buy but these aftermarket better ones cost around 600 delivered get them i garentee will fix ur problems

Here's a list of issues that cause tis common problem.

Are the plugs in properly? - reseat.

Are the plugs the correct heat range? - std is 5. 6 and 7 should also be ok.

Are the plugs gapped to 0.8mm - std plugs are 1.1mm, regapped to 0.8mm makes a sturdier spark.

Are your coil packs old and fcuked? - epoxy old ones or get new ones.

It could be running rich. - ECU adds more fuel than fuel needed running more boost. This can cause misfire. - Need aftermarket ECU or piggy back cumputer and tune.

It could be running lean. -fuel pump not supplying enough fuel to the engine, causing it to ping and the ecu hears this by microphones and cuts/retards the ignition. - need a fuel pump, common in early 33's

Most probably your issue is a combo of running rich, which skylines do in the cold, and dodgy colial pack and/or spark plugs.

The good news is that your engine is most probably OK.

hmmm okie.. so a SAFC is not needed eh? cool.. i will go check the spark plugs first.. i will go back to the shop and ask them to regap it for me as i think if they did it wrongly they wont charge me :D u may think im a cheapskate but im only a student and only workin part time and dont even have a fmic :D

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
