Ok so I have had a slight problem with my car. AGAIN :)

Something happened which i dont want to state but my engine neally cooked.

Have replaced spark plugs, coil packs, ignitor and coil loom.

Was missing like a mofo before above was replaced.

Will idle perfectly fine. gets to about 1500 to 2500 and will miss in this range of RPM. This is under load by the way. Then it will be fine untill i either A: put my foot down and hit boost or B: run fine if i drive like a grandma through the gears.

So I ask you all as the SA guys know there shit with there RB's.

I need this problem fixed as i am really sick of having my car off the road.

The head is fine with perfect compression.

My mechanic who did the engine and manual conversion is stumped to find the problem.

I have no experience with these engines so please give your advice and let myself be happy for once.

LOL I mean honestly who pays 12k for repairs and still cant drive the fudging thing.

I really appreciate any advice left.

Remove the kick panel to expose the ECU, undo the screws holding the ECU to the chassis. Behind the ECU there is a screw/knob, with this you can run a rich/lean diagnositc check via your O2 sensor. I had similar miss firing problems with my car after doing the usuall coil packs, etc, etc only to find the O2 was stuff. If you can be bothered doing all of this first, simply dis-connect your O2 sensor and the ECU will default to a rich fuel map and see how the car runs.

Not like it's going to be much use, but make sure the boost level (if stock turbo) is under what it can push. The other circumstance is the fuel pump in which i had an issue with last year and had replaced. The only time it happens now is under cool temps in which the boost level increases slightly over that of the stock turbo (mechanical boost controller!!).

my car was missing quite badly, i have recently(this week) had the,

fuel pump replaced

oxygen sensor replaced

boost sensor replaced

spark plugs replaced

and these have stopped the missing, hope this can help

Cheers for the help boys.

The car is stock so no increase in boost levels.

I have been told it could be the fuel pump. And no I haven't even thought of making sure the injectors are clean. That could be the reason as I assume do to something screwing up it was flooding the engine with fuel and due to it missing it would read that more fuel was needed to keep up with something. The injectors and fuel pump will be looked at tomoz hopefully.

Dammmmmmm you repairs.

my car is all stock as well, it had a faulty boost sensor in it

i just sepnt $1500 on mine (i got a very good rate through a mate, i feel bad about how much they didn't charge me) and it still need an exhaust manifold stud replaced

best of luck with the repairs >_<

hey R32_4door_drifting ive sort of got the same problem with my car, wen i hit 5000-6000 rpm every now and again the car will pull back heaps hard, im thinking one of the injectors arent working wen full throttle and sum1 said my fuel pump but its highly unlikely. However it only happens like once every 30 times im in the 5000-7000 range and it lasts about a minute or 2. Theres this soundwave or something process and they can apparently clean ur injectors without pulling anythin apart, might have to give it a go.

p.s GL with the repairs man, dont worry my mate spent $13 on a 180sx and its still not running (cracked the oil sump and is missing gears 2nd and 4th, so things could be worse, lol.

fixed?

not yet, ive asked around and no-one really knows what it is, so i guess when i need my 5000k service i'll get a dyno and ecu check n all that shit at the same time. Will keep ya posted when i find out the cause.

my cars had 5 oil changes in 3 and a half weeks. its a spoilt little f**k.

EDIT:Oh and a new turbo. and all the missfirings gone from splitfire coilover installation.

when u say missfiring do u mean wen its idling??? or like mine wen i said it almost pulls back and feels like the revs just shit themselves.

Why so many?

Dont ya just hate it when your shocks misfires, but I hear the new platnium springs are pretty good :)

yeah sorry i was in 2 minds (my mate tempting me in coilover group buy on nissan silvia.com). i meant splitfire coil packs. can get them for 589 or somehting delivered from Slides or ~ 600 here in SA if you know a certain someone at autobahn.

    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
    • Oh, and as for everyone with their fuel economy changes, I switch between E10 and 98 in the company car. Even do when I had personal cars that could run on E10. You know what changed my fuel economy in any noticeable way? How I drove, and where I drove. Otherwise, say on full tanks of just back and forth from work only (So same trips, same sort of traffic), couldn't notice a difference that I can correlate to the type of fuel in use. In the current vehicle, that's over 42L of USABLE fuel. While 98 is all "more energy dense", it also has higher knock resistance as it takes more energy to get it to ignite too. The longer hydrocarbons, typically more tightly bound. So running the same ignition map, can also produce less power, if there isn't enough time to get it all burnt through properly, as yep, the flame propagation speed is different from lower octane fuel to higher (Higher has a lower flame propagation, due to the more tightly bound and harder to self ignite funs. This is also typically where, a vehicle that is designed purely to run on 91 (Whether it be E10 or normal 91) usually sees absolutely no real world difference in fuel economy for the normal man, woman, or dog.
    • We've got some servos around me that have 91 with E10, 91 (no E10), 95, and 98. At those stations the change from 91 E10 to 91, is typically around 8c/L.   But lets not get started on the price of fuel in Oz. It's ridiculous. All the service stations around me, bar one, the price of fuel has been over the $2 mark per litre for the cheapest, 98 being around $2.45. That one service station is a CostCo, fuel from it comes from the same refineries, and makes no pitstops, it runs great, including the 98. In fact, I've had no issues on CostCo fuel, but plenty of issues at other stations!. The CostCo fuel, was $1.65 roughly this week for 94 with E10. $1.88 for 98. Servos directly across from it, $2.10 for 91 E10, and $2.48 for 98. The part I had to laugh at? If I drive multiple HOURS away from Brisbane, say out near Nanango, or Kingaroy, or even out to Goondiwindi, the price of their fuel, is the same as what it is at the CostCo... Oh, and that BP servo at Goondiwindi is HUGE and goes through epic turnover of fuel, so it's not sitting there for weeks going to shit. And what blows me away, my mate is one of the people who drives the Fuel Tanker all around QLD, delivering to all those places. At the same company his previous role was doing the "local haul" deliveries... Same truck, same driver, same pickup point it all comes from. So you tell me, how the hell it is 60c/L CHEAPER for fuel, when nearly all else is equal, except they require a B-Double to drive half a day out of Brisbane, and half a day back, every second day, compared to the delivery that can be under 30 minutes drive from the fuel pickup point... Not to mention, go five blocks down the road, and Ampol to Ampol will vary 30c/L... And I've had this conversation with my mate... The way it's priced, is just typical, pure and utter rubbish... He also does runs from Brisbane, to all over QLD, down to Newcastle, Sydney, Nowra, Melbourne, Geelong, and even out to parts of the NT depending on the companies needs. His main stuff is all the longer distance away from home for a few days at a time, then when he's back, he loves to just pickup extra shifts wherever he can in whichever truck, hence all the weird different places.   Oh, as for getting E10 into all the fuels in Australia... It was very quickly highlighted, that we don't have enough biomass available to use to make E10 sustainably like they require, and it would dramatically cut into our, and the worlds food chain supply...   I vote we all just start running on liquid methane gas... Plenty of that just getting tapped off at tips from underground decay... (Note, this is pure just stupid commenting. I could very easily highlight the reasons its not a good idea especially on scale...)
    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
