Hi guys, really new to the forum and Skylines, they have always been my dream cars!

I just bought a really nice new r34 gt 1999, with 58,000kms on the dash(I know it probably was wound back).....

It is really smooth, the engine runs very smooth and all fluids are topped up, clean engine bay etc...

Today I was driving it for about 10 minutes, when i was doing about 50kph in 3rd gear, the engine light came on and the car lost about 50% power, still was running but the exhaust sounded like it was missing. I pulled over and turned it off and let it sit for like 1 minute, then restarted it and drove to the mechanic just down the road. When I pulled up he said it sounded like it was running on 5 cylinders, and that the coils might be going... Does this sound like a reasonable explanation? I restarted it and all was fine, running butter smooth again... Can anyone help me out here?

-I really drive it nice, I dont frag it too hard....

Thanks in advance to anyone who could help me out.

Second thing, could someone tell me more about the body kit that is on my car?

hey mate, the body kit is the optional nismo aero kit (much nicer than the series 2 stock kit)

and i've been chasing that kit forever! hard to get, either gonna get a copy or get an impul kit haha..

and the misfire that happened to me to! my car was misfiring that bad it sounded like a wrx :S (engine light came on once upon a time and it was baaaaad reset after a while though)

but anyway yeah, it's most likely coil packs, i'm having mine replaced as well as new ngk iridiums put in next week when i get back from site.

just visit this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fi...view=getnewpost

:P

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
