Gday all - seing as this hasnt had much response on SDU i thought i tried my luck here.

I will be driving to QLD on Thursday May 23rd along with 2 other R33's including URMINE i believe, is anyone else planning on driving up there???

I would like to get a group together for this one as it will make a great site.... a wild pack of skyline owners thrashing through the countryside :)

We are looking at leave thursday late afternoon, possiblly either staying mid way and arriving in brisbane Fridya morning... or doing an all nighter.

whos keen!

Nick

Yeah that's pretty poor, but obviously some people just can't get time off work or UNI at all I guess. Although with the couple of months notice, no excuses really. I'm almost keen to drive to sydney just to drive up, how is an interstate cruise not awesome ? Anyway, i'm gunna try and take the whole weekend off from any work, so we'll have to hit the piss hard boys. Can't wait to meet some of you all hey.

Well if I lived in Sydney, I would have loved to have driven with you guys, but I'm taking the easy option and flying. It's just a bit too far for me to drive for only a weekend.

i drove up at Xmas, taking a couple of days each way, and even that took it out of me a bit.

Hope u get a few more guys, Nick. I was hanging out to see some other Skylines on that highway....doing the trip in a group will be awesome, even if there's only 3 or 4 of you.

Well the original two that I was going with are still coming.... its gonna be great fun... i cant understand why more arent coming for the drive...[/quote:72a4b36365]

ummmm........

Not anymore.

One of my close friends just informed me that his 21st is that weekend so I can no longer go to Drag Combat......But at least I still have 2 weeks off work.

    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.

    • Hence why I've only modified my car into a pure daily. Everything has to remain reliable & roadworthy, while providing value and grin factor. It also must not be handcrafted to the extent that the car will be immovable if something breaks because you cannot get or make a replacement to at least limp around with.
    • Nah, I definitely do that kind of stuff with my car. I do drive it around as a daily! It's just that mindset about building a car to actually still use/retain it's function as a car is rare. If you modify your car into a weekender, IMO you've ruined 5/7ths of the fun. It should remain fun to do daily errands in.
