hi there :thumbsup: ive owned my skyline for about three months now. had an awesome time with it until recently. my car had a misfire and was showing all signs of an afm problem. i took a risk n dropped it off to NISSAN! suprisingly they did their job and found the fault. it was a broken wire on the afm plug. so $170 later i was driving smoothly again. BUT! it was down on power, running smooth but just seemed a bit more like gtst on high boost than a gtr :laughing-smiley-014: well it dont stop here. two days later im waiting at a red light when the car decides to idle between 100-200rpm? giv it a rev n it seems to go away. now a few more days have gone by n it seems to be happenin while driving aswel, under load or cruising down hill! kinda feels like someones slowly pullin up the handbrake then lettin it off, so not a violent misfire. as i said it was at nissan so it has been plugged in and came up with no other faults and didnt present this prob while in their hands. ive got a few ideas. fuel filter, pump? coils is the obvious one. ive taken them all out and didnt see any cracks that ive heard about, only a slight burn mark on each side where the metal goes around them. im sure it gets f*kn hot so is prob normal. it has new platinum plugs and is relativly unmoddified enginewise. any input would be much appreciated :thumbsup:

yeah the guy at nissan checked the top afm and found the wire on the plug was broken, so the top one should be ok but i doubt he checked the lower one. just another note, the car does have a very small flat spot when you 1st put ya foot on the gas off idle, also does the same if your cruising along with ya foot just touching the throttle but stil its very small. also whos ' the man' in victoria to take a gtr to get work done? im from nz n not been in vic long so i wouldnt have clue?!:P

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
