R34 Missing, Running Rich

I had my avcr installed last week and since then have only had problems with my car.

it was running perfectly beforehand and never skipped a beat. the car has an ARC fmic, 3" exhaust, pod..the usual basics.

the car used too boost to 10psi with the full exhaust on and never had any troubles..was nice & quick.

now for the problems,

the boost was set on 10psi through the avcr because when they tried 2 go any higher it would start missing..was told to change the spark plugs.

whenever the car is pushed past 4k the boost would spike to 11psi and start missing.

when I filled up with fuel I worked out I lost approx 100kms of driving with the amount of fuel used. I instantly thought its hitting R&R.

so I have set the avcr to allow the actuator to control the boost until I get it fixed up. it stopped missing high in the rev range but now its started missing on idle.

opinions on what the problem/s is/are? plugs,coil packs, R&R??

also the avcr should be able to hold 10psi without spiking to 11psi right?

are u still running the std ecu?

honestly a could tune would fix it all up.

anythign u change to the car, uve changed how the car runs.

get it to a tuner, although it would be a big waste if ur planning more mods in the near future, slap everythign on 1st then get a tune.

Take it back to the place where you had the AVCR fitted and get them to re-check their work, if it was running with no dramas before hand it has to be something to do with how they fitted it mainly the connections to your standard ecu, i have not had a huge amount to do with the avcr but i know it connects to the injector signal from the ecu (could be causing dramas) i also know that bad or bridged earths between ecu's and piggybacks can cause various issues.

Hey samantha,

I just wanted to know if you had the same problem as me. I got similar mods to you cooler and 10psi boost on my auto r34, and i recently noticed its a bit more lumpy wen its idling, maybe missing? I was wondering if you had any ideas wat it could be?

Also i wanted to ask ya if you moved your auto box cooler? im thinking of getting a bigger one and putting it in the same spot?

Thanks if you can help :(

But i dont think the car is running rich as now that its running 10-11psi, it seems to be getting more km's per tank. does that seem normal for rb25's?

It seems to be idleing rough alot more after a spirited drive than after normal driving? Plugs and oil change have been done a few weeks ago..

Any ideas?

Yea currently im running the BCPR7ES at standard gap, recommended by the tuner, but theyre only about 700Km~ old

Im not 100% but could it be maybe the timming belt on its way? the car is ~65 XXXkm showing on the odo, and not sure if its been replaced..

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
