Hey guys

My r34 has been fooling me around a bit for past 2 weeks or so. First it started off misfiring after about 4000 revs. It was like that for a week or so and then the other night, it was misfiring right after 2000 revs and was barely driveable. In fact, I had trouble starting it then left it for about 10 mins and barely was able to start it and take it home.

Can anyone provide some advice so I know what to look for? Is it the coilpacks? Maybe spark-plugs (never been changed)? AFM? Crank angle sensor? anything else possibly?

Thanks guys and all feedback is much appreciated as I need to know what it could be as my mechanic mate is not really too familiar with lines.

My cousin had the same problem on one of his car's, Toyota Aristo.

We changed the plugs and it was ok, but still miss firing, on the way to the petrol station the fuel pump actually died.

Do your fuel pump prime at all? Fuel pump failure is generally caused due to old age, or running the petrol level really low, below 1/4 tank usually.

Check if the fuel pump primes when you turn the ignition, if that doesn't work then its your fuel pump.

If it does actually prime, then it could be your spark plugs, or a number of things such as your AFM, blocked injectors coilpacks etc..

Hope that helps.

Thanks,

Abu

have u in any way screwed around with ur BOV?

nope... i blocked the vacuum line from bov over a year ago (to flutter) for a period of one day and then set it back and have never had any problems with the car until just week or so ago.

I'd be looking in the following order

1, coil packs and/or power transistor

2, spark plugs

3, afm

4, cas

I've had all of the above problems on every nissan i've owned - to me it sounds more like a coil pack and/or power transistor than an afm problem (but just in case, check for filter remnants or gunk on the afm and give it a good electrical contact clean for safe measure.

If it's the cas, your timing will change frequently, check with a timing light. Or if you're inclined take the cas out and check for wear on the spindle.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.

      Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.

      You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever

      Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
