I'VE BEEN CHASING MY FLAT SPOT FOR AGES (R32 RB20)

(opps caps on not retyping it)

started with a flat spot at 4 through till about 5.5 or 6

have managed to close it down to about 4 to just under 5 but its still there

does it sound like the car is going great and the turbo is spooled but you just go no where?

check things like ground points

everything is tight (my rocker covers were loose and causing random idleing and it was quite noisy (no leaks tho)

inlet mani was loose

air filter was dirty

old plugs

etc etc

message is, check everything!!!

and if you find the answar please tell me asap please!!!

nearly running ok

running bkr6e-11 and gapped smaller (measured by eye lol, but all the same) at a guess .9

bkr is the v grove coppers (supposed to give fatter spark)

car also runs jjr coilpacks too

the car has an rb25 turbo on it which pushes it to about 12-14 psi (gear dependant)

so i think its running into r&r

playing with the timing helped (found the cas bracket was snapped in two so it was throwing timing out!)

may need a tune but was gonna get a consult port adaptor off ebay to check all the sensors readings (about $50 + free software and shows every reading the ecu gets)

Ive changed my plugs to BCPR6ES and they are gapped to about .85mm, I've got JJR coilpacks aswell, I've got a Apexi pod (thats about a year old) and its not dirty at all... I've checked most things so I think it comes down to this being rnr...unless there is something else i can check????

I'm planning to get toshi to remap my ecu... do you guys think it will get rid of this flat spot?

there is a member on here who sells the consult cables (newkleer i think). they are a little bit more than the ebay ones though, but you can get them with a usb plug on it. i got one of him and it works great. and there is plenty of free software available. most of it all seems to do the same thing.

i have also used the bkr6e plugs. no noticable gain over the bcpr6es plugs, but then i wasn't having missfire issues (well at least not after i pulled out the stuffed iridium plugs)

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
