when u go foot flat to floor or more then 3/4 after about 4k revs itll start missfiring/popin as such my guess was new coil packs wood solve that problem as it is a stock car with a FMIC on it and a pod but before 4k revs and if ur not ful throttle it doesnt do it and it idles fine please help :O

Plugs or coilpacks. Pretty common with RB's, or the old fuel pump is getting tired. Replace your plugs first, then look at the coilpacks & fuel pump. I've got a spare set of RB pack's if you get stuck dude.

Pretty much plugs or coil packs. If it doesnt have an aftermarket pump, check that as well. Otherwise, it could intercooler piping, I've just fixed that problem in my car. Check them all in that order, because new plugs would be beneficial whether they are causing the problem or not.

man i've had 2 missfire issues with my rb20 over the last couple years... whenever you mention a missfire on here you get a million people saying coilpacks.... and while it is a somewhat common problem with skylines, it was never the solution for me and it's not necessarily the solution for you.

my guess would be your crank angle sensor.. sounds very similar to when mine had problems..

but it's just that, a guess... could be a variety of things... best bet is take it to a garage that knows skylines and get them to tell you what the problem is.. will cost about 100 tops to find out what it is.. which is cheaper than trying 5 different things to fix it.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
