I only just solved a shocking miss and sputtering above 3k rpm that had been getting steadily worse. But it was totally intermittent, the car would drive fine for long periods then just come to a sputtering halt in 30 seconds flat.

Determined to find the problem i changed the plugs, no go

I took it to my local speed shop and they told me i had the wrong plugs in and wrong gap. Stick new ones in... no go

For some reason my suspicion was that it wasnt ignition. Because when i stick it in a high gear at low speed (give it some high ignition load) it would just pull out. Then splutter again at a bout 3200rpm, then pull smooth to redline. Other times it would break down so much it wouldnt pull past 2000rpm.

The solution? Air flow meter. Pull it out and give it a good spraying of contact cleaner. Car now drives better than ever.

I am not the best person to answer this queston as I have not had a dyno run with my skyline yet and am south east, I can however recommend Hypertech Autosports

Just out of interest When I started my car this morning when it was cold it started to idle roughly again, so I unpluged the AFM and the revs went up but the car ran beautifuly. whats got me that my Auto elec said they had it tested & calibrated it and it was fine, I have my doubts. now to find a loan one so I can test it...

Hi I had the same problem with my R34 it was missing like hell at about 4800 to 5000 revs.I replaced the plugs with Platinum and gapped them at 0.8.

I also suspected one of the coils might have been arking across to the cylinder head as well so I taped the stem of the coil pack with insulation tape,Hey presto going like a train no miss.

Maybe I should take the tape of the packs to see if it gets the miss back.

I had a very similar problem with a Telstra Ghia a few years ago.

So maybe worth a try.

I had similar problems too you, changed and gapped plugs numerous times, coil packs checked, AFM, then raised the boost and it made it worse, backed it back and it was better. Then installed and dynoed tuned with a SAFC and fixed it. Basically for my car, it was getting to much fuel to drink. Are your plugs black?

And whilst not only fixing the problem, i scored some nice power gains.

I will be doing some further tuning soon.

Robo's - thanks for the advise cause im getting a PFC asap which will enable me to tune my afr. I found out today from another mechanic that my car is extremely rich so yeh hopefully problem will disapear soon.

I recommend to anyone with mild mods to get a new ECU or a SAFC to balance the ECU. Because it makes sense. 1 -4RPM not much fuel so boost quick and hard then 4PRM + too much fuel and boogs down.

Thanks in advance Rob

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
