Hey guys

My car has been misfiring for the past 2 months and after going to 3 different mechanics and even after changing a number of parts its still no good. However the last mechanic thinks it is most likely either the O2 sensor, Crank Angle Sensor or Computer (eManage) thats causing the problem because the car missfires after 2000 revs only and especially when the engine is hot - it sometimes won't even allow it to power on when its hot so once cool, it will power up but still missfires. Anyways, i'm getting the shits now and I really want this fixed. I'm getting it taken to this place DynoTune in moorebank and was just wondering if these guys will be able to sort it out.

Thanks guys

Edited by Alien

these guys are shit talkers.

they want to charge me $400 and they have not even found the problem yet. The bloke on the phone said they will do a computer test which will take an hour and a half at $80p/h and now its $400. Their solution is to buy their EMS computer and get them to tune it all up $2500 plus the $400. And I bet then, the problem will still be there as the problem is not with the computer to begin with. I knew I was gona run into this shit by going to a "accessible, nearby place". Unbelievable.

Whether you consider this a whinge or advice, DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR TO DYNOTUNE & EFI

They are a RIPOFF and have "diagnosed" the 34 with same results as I suspected over 2 months ago, only they charged $400 (without advising me of these costs). Will be taking this to fair trading.

that's such a typical story. so many rip off tuners around.

i recommend C&V Performance at caringbah.

i've used them. they know their shit. and they really look after their customers cars.

also, they dont charge like a wounded bull. and if they quote you a price, and run overtime, they stick to the agreed price.

obviously this is my personal experience. i'm very happy with them.

HA HA,the c**ts have no clue! I went to them years back and they tried to rought me aswell (jason the owner) told him to snap out of it before i snap his jaw,f*kn rip off dogs :)

damn darko.your car still has the same probs.

yeah you should get greg at autosport to have a look at it.he knows skylines inside out.

also TO4GTR had the same problem.it turned out to be a fouling injector.

does the emanage have a hand controller so that you can check duty cycle/overall performance of the injectors? this could bring to light a problem in that area,if there is one.as per dave's injector problem you learn from it.

here are a few possible areas that it could be.

*coil packs.

*coil pack igniter.(if any of the wires leading from the "coil pack igniter" are not giving a reading/or any that are reading spastic on the multimeter.you have a problem.)vise versa for the wires that lead to it from the computer.

*Crank Angle Sensor.(if the computer gets the signal to fire the coil packs at the wrong time you definantly will have a missfire.)

*exposed wires in the ignition system.(that means a thourough check of all the wiring in the ignition system.)

*spark plugs.

*water in the airbox.

*leak in the intercooler to manifold pipework.(the car will spit out black smoke,right after it splutters,if this is the case.)

*afm is a possibility.though dont quote me on that.its only a suggestion.

*the computer.

i've got an idea.

connect the emanage to a laptop and log the data when it is misfiring.

click on the data logger option, which is the one ive circles in RED.

make sure you choose all maps by clicking the button ive circles in ORANGE and choosing the same ones i have chosen then click OK.

to start logging click on start (derr) which is in GREEN.

choose to save the logged data then put it into a .zip file then PM it to me.

ill have a look at it and see if i can help you with anything.

hey guys I appreciate the help but I just got off the phone to Brett (midnight performance) and he has 110% identified the problem which is the fuel pump and fuel pump wiring - why am I not surprised the guy knows his stuff... he has a 32 GTR and R33 GTST S2 himself. I got referred to him by Minh (DR GTR) and once I got to his workshop I realised I know him and hes a top bloke, he helped me out before too back in the r32 days so I was 100% confident that the car will be fixed in no time.

Anyways, I will now tear Dynotune a new ahole =)

and rememmber: DO NOT GO TO DYNOTUNE & EFI Moorebank

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
