Hi

Anyone able to offer suggestions

My 32 GTR runs well but then gets a case of the stutters so bad it can't even maintain a constant speed as the engine looses power and runs rough.

Happened to me tonight and then I had to stop at a roundabout.

Just managed to get it rolling again with lots of revs and clutch slipping while a line of cars grew behind me.

A kilometre later it started running fine.

I was taking it to a workshop at the time so we put it straight onto the consult and waddy yah know...no errors

Dam it's anoying not knowing what's going

Can anyone help?

Felt like crank angle sensor to me but no faults came up

I'm taking a wild guess here! Could it be that your fuel pump is failing? Not providing enough fuel to the engine.

Hope you're right as I'm getting the fuel pressure checked today

Be nice to find out what it is

the number of times the words Skyline and missfire or skyline and splutter get posted on here is unbelievable.

it is all too common.

and therefore, there are all too common checks you can do.

coil packs

spark plugs

afm

those 3 are the easiest to check and cheapest to fix.

plugs - cost you $4 each

AFM - can be cleaned using electric contact cleaner and while it's off the car, you can take the top off and re-

solder the contacts in them.

Coil packs - you can do a cheap job and tape them all up with electrical tape.

or, next time it splutters, pull over and unplug coil packs one at a time to see if the splutter gets worse or doesn't change.

if it gets worse, that particular coil pack is working.

if it doesn't change, then that particualr coil pack is faulty.

change just that one.

if you got more cash, get some split fire coils.

fuel pump - possibly an issue. - new BOSCH one couldn't be much more than $300.

fuel filter - should be under $50 for a new one. worth changing.

they are the most LIKELY causes which you can check/fix/replace yourself for not much money.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
