go with the standard plugs first,skylines like to do this when you dont f*k off the factory boost control,computer sees extra air then says you need more fuel so you get too much and it flat spots,0.8mm gap plugs usually fixes it.start with plugs if that dont work work ur way back form there,ie nxt step coils...still check out the ecu option,it can fix a lot at once

Is it misfiring or just a bit of a hesitation?

I had a bit of a hesitation that was fixed by fiddling with my ebc settings. Dropped the setting that it uses to hold the gate shut down by 0.2psi and the hesitation went away and is now smooth as. Basically it was bringing on boost too hard and going past the SET value momentarily.

do you still run a standard ecu?if so the extra airflow from the higher boost could be upsetting the ecu and messing with the mixtures,hesitation/flat spot because the ecu is pushin a bit too much fuel in for the extra air, its just one of many possibilities,most of them are mentioned in the thred anyway,i just thought id add that,simple test,turn boost back to stock then see if it still hesitates,if it does then im wrong on that part...

i had the same problem with my r34, it turned out to be the coils in my case. the spark from the standard coils isn't strong enough and when it comes onto high boost it simply blows the spark out. but are you running a high/low boost set up or just straight out 10psi?

just straight out 10psi i will wind boost down tonight and see if it makes a diff.

Pull out your coil packs........ Its easy to do.

Undo the 8 screws that hold the plastic cover on, at the top of the engine.

Take the wired off the coil packs........ 6 of.

pull the coil packs out, and check them very carefully for cracks. I did this, and found NO cracks. I covered the underside of the coil packs with high temp (shellys roof and gutter) silicone.

Checked and re gaped plugs to .8, now the problem is no more, im running .9 of a bar too. Only mods are pod, cooler, full exhaust and pump .........

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
