Gday all i have only had my gtr for a month or so im trying to get it sorted befor i goto powercruise.

My problem is when im driving along on the high way sitting at around 100ks from time to time ill get a miss for no reason.Will be humming along perfectly then a miss.Does not happen all the time it just happens at random.

even when crusing around town ill be going threw the gears up to about 2 to 3k revs and i get a slight miss.

What could it be.

I have an idea but id rather ask the pros on here befor i put up what i think so i don t push the topic in the wrong direction.

Mods are

power fc

apexi power intake kit

PE denzo 700 injectors

hks 2530s turbos.

irtop 8s plugs new gaped

if it is very irregular its your PFC, nothing to worry about. They often have an infrequent miss at light throttle.

if it's a concern for you change it for a vipec with the parachute option

Sounds like it could be the "microstutter" problem to me. Inherent with certain revisions of the PowerFC. Nothing to worry about if it is, have the same issues with my PFC, more of an annoyance than anything

My GTS4 with the rb26 in it has got a miss that im trying to nut out at the moment too. Just a intermitent miss were there car would drop a cyl and stay like that for a period of driving for about 2-3 mins and then it would come back to life firing on all cyl. WEIRD!!! ;)

Ive just recently changed my coil packs to yellow jackets so it aint that and ive check wiring harness for coil packs, all good and also the sparkies. The one thing i have done different so far is changing the ignitor to another one as a test. Since doing this last night and driving the car today, everything is sweeeeet. Well so far. ;)

I will keep ya informed on how it goes over the weekend as i keep driving it. It was most of the time when you drove the car it would miss so hopefully changing the ignitor is the answer.

It may be the answer for you. Will keep ya posted! :)

Hi,

The miss could be a number of things.

First is your plugs.

Second is the Coil packs.

Third is the coil loom..ie plugs and wire cables

fourth could be your ignitor not getting earth.

Fifth could the PFC as everyone has stated.

Sixth could be your tune.

Seventh could be what I think I have...air bubbles in coolant.

Tried bleeding a few times but never gets hot enough.

Although not a miss..it sometimes feels like one.

Eight could be your pedal...you could hit a slight hump causing your pedal to let go and

engage again..this happened more to me until I changed my spring rates.

or Ninth thing could be that one of your injectors is rooted..or maybe a few.

Don't think I left anything out...oh..don't think about it to much.....

Its not the easiest thing to live with a gtr...lol.

Well ive driven the car around all weekend and its all good now. Changing the ignitor was the answer to fixing my problem.

Hope you can source what the problem is with your car. Its just a matter of changing things, testing things and eliminating each thing as the cause of the problem as you go along.

I hope you can crack it! :devil:

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.

      I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.

      I much prefer colder weather to hot weather, and especially prefer cold to hot and humid, Goulburn does gets pretty warm in the hotter months, but, I've found the humidity there is not as painful as even Sydney, the humidity up north is to oppressing for this old rooster  In saying this, it does get rather "nippy" in Goulburn for early morning, late in the evening walks, but nothing that a layer or two, some thermal gloves, and a beanie doesn't fix to make it an enjoyable experience, which is much more bearable to me than the oppression of heat and humidity,  especially at night when your trying to sleep If I recall correctly, a "wise man" once said that the "Southern Tablelands" was gods country, and I will not argue that point with him for the fear of a "permaban" LOL In car part related news: My intake is currently in Botany getting processed for the last leg of its shipping journey to my door

      Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)
