pull out your spark plugs again and inspect them. that will give you an indication of whether it is a fuel issue. if they are black then it isn't a fuel issue but a spark issue. if they are a light colour then it is a fuel issue. if possible get someone to drive behind you and make it play up. if they see unburnt fuel coming out the exhaust when it missfires then you know it's a spark issue.

legend. will do

how much boost you running?

i have a similar issue and i thought its just the stock ECU fuel cut or R&R, if i reset the ECU it will be fine for a while....

how long was a while.. what did the final problem turn out to be?

he is running stock boost. he said it in an earlier post.

this brother from another mother.. been with the problem since the start of this pain the rear end hole!

its been raining in melbourne. when the spark plugs were changed over, i didnt replace the cover so i dont want to do too much work and, i dont think anyone'll be able to see whats coming out of my exhaust.

generally if the fuel pump is playing up it will usually only be in the high end where it starts to lean out. generally it should be fine at lower rpm as the fuel being used is very low so the pump should be able to flow well enough.

is it worth replacing? exactly as u say it does..

wouldn't hurt to replace it to be on the safe side, however if it isn't the issue then you have wasted a few hundred dollars. you would be best off putting the car on a dyno to get the AFR's checked to see if it is leaning out. that way if the AFR's are fine you can put the money towards finding out exactly what is the cause.

First time Ive had a drama with the car is today :laugh:.

Turns out mines doing same thing, But it does it at anything about 0+. shuders, hesitates, splutters, as if a cooler pipe has gone off :S

all new Gear, intake, gaskets, splitfires, tomei z32, about 80 dyno runs, never had an issue. today started it, driving to work.. this happening >.<...

wat the f!,.. PFC map?

I have no idea bro, sorry. Man, I'm sending the car to a dude in Melbourne that comes highly recommended. Supposed to go today but had a wedding I sorta forgot I had to go to. I'll go to him early on Monday. If he tells me the cars problem, I'll pass that on to you, or if you're in Melb. tell me and I'll give u his details.

the dude fixed it in 15 seconds. f'ing very good guy.

#1, the turbo we changed was boosting (or trying to at least) at 22psi,

#2, the afm was dodge so i replaced with the another standard one,

#3, the loom that sat in the afm was pretty shockingly crusty, so we changed that and he crimped it into place,

#4, the bov i had on the car was pushing a lot of what was in the pipes out, so the sensors got crappy readings and made it try and cut out,

just little bits and pieces. the dude did a massively good job, anybody in melb who wants serious work done to their car should go there.

i hope some of these steps help u in ur problem cuz.

good luck.

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
