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.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
