Hopefully someone out there has an answer for me. I own a 1996 gtr that has recently developed a miss after about 10 - 15 mins of driving. my mechanic has found it to be that the injectors are not getting a perfect supply of power. He has checked all earths and the resistor that sends the spark to injectors, the battery and all come up fine. The car has an Apexi fc and the usual minor mods, upgraded sard fuel pump and regulator, exhaust and filters (314 hp at all 4), so not heavilly modded at all. My mech has spent 12 hours trying everything but no joy. ( he's no goose as he preps a lot of cars for targa and has never seen this problem in 20 years in business ). His next step is to get an auto elec to test for power supply quality???? If anybody can help or has had similar probs please let me know. ( carton of coronas )

My 33 used to do the exact same thing. Was ok at the start, then as it warms up it misses a beat.

Coilpacks

My girls GTR did the same thing... and yes new coilpacks. runs like a dream now

I should have said the car developed a "severe" miss and it would continue to the point that at the lights if i didn't feather the throttle it would stop. This miss and shudder would continue in all gears at all revs. Does that sound the same as your cars? The mechanic checked the spark plugs and coil packs first and said they were fine. Thanks for the fast response guys, keep 'em coming. Cheers

My girls car had a slight miss at low revs, rev it over 4,000rpm and it started breaking down badly.. changed coilpacks and the miss was gone. maybe it could be something else with yours but might be worth trying new coilpacks..

Are you saying that it runs perfect for the first 10-15 minutes? Then you get the miss? Or the miss is there all the time now ?

If only when hot , coil packs /ignitor, if all the time make sure you havent blown a cooler pipe and the airflow meters pick it up and dump heaps of fuel in, in this case you would see all the black smoke at the back and car won't have any power at all.

I dont know how he checked the coil packs, i'll have to ask him next week. ( the problem only happens when the car is warm so i will ask him if thats when he tested the coil packs ). On the Apexi fc hand controller he could see the injectors not working properly by the graph on the display. I've been without the car for 4 weeks and am having massive withdrawal symptoms. My VW transporter and the wifes v6 dunnydore just ain't doing it for me..... :rofl::(:D

Sorry about the late response people, my computer had a sicky and i've had to reregister under 'ova 300' instead of rip it. my mechanic has found the cause of the problem, so he gets the coronas. he had checked all of the above suggestions and everything was fine. it is a problem in the wiring loom in engine bay. probably caused by 10 years of twin turbo heat. he hopefully will have it back to me next week. unfortunatley i will miss the cruise in Brizbane on sunday so i hope everyone has a top day. cheers Chris

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

      roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
