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.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
