Iv had my Skyline for a few months now and since owning have noticed the engine feels rough between 2500-4000rpm. It sort of feels like it is out of balance or something. Just wandering if this is normal for the RB25 or do i have problems. Car runs perfect besides this and its just got me a bit worried. Cheers

Being the paranoid type, i got a 100k service done on mine not long after i got it.

Go to somewhere with at good rep like Trojan, ESP or Autotech that actually work on skylines; not just some guy who thinks that all cars are the same.

They will be able to sort out your problems and will actually know what they are talking about.

Just my 2.2c (inc GST)

Well all bolts are tight. Donnan i would take the car somewhere like that to get checked but i really dont have the cash at the moment. The car has 92,000kms on it so will have to take it somewhere in the next year to get the 100,000 service anyway. Hopefully its nothing major and will last till then.

Sounds like it could be a faulty CAS (Crank Angle Sensor)... I had the same problem with my RB25

To check if it is the CAS get someone with an identical RB motor to lend you their sensor, plug it in and if it fixes the miss-fire or rough revs then order one from Just Jap or another Japanese wrecker (dont get one from Nissan unless you want to pay through the @ss for it).

Start by checking the CAS, then if thats not it, move on to coil packs or ignitor.

(By the way - the CAS is the big round metal thing held in by 3 bolts on the front of the motor.)

Let us know how you go. :(

Hmmm ok any volunteers want to lend me there CAS so i can check to see if this is the problem. Or is there a way to test it with a multimeter or something, also if it was the CAS would it come up as a fault code because the ECU says no fault recorded?

Is there no-one kind enough to lend a fellow Skyliner a hand when they're in a tight spot??

I'm happy to lend you mine, but it comes with a catch... If it breaks while it's on your engine, you buy me a new one. :P

OK?

After speaking with a professional about this, I'm afraid I have to withdraw my offer... There are too many variables with your problem :ermm:

Speak to Angelo at Trojan Motorsport about getting a working second hand CAS (they have a lot of spares on the shelf) = 6242 6277

Tell them that Mick from Federal sent you :D

Hey mate thanks for your help and advise I will try and bring the car past there in the next 2 weeks, but with work at the moment its hard to bring it there during the day. The more i try to work out what it is myself the more i think it might not be the engine, its almost like the flywheel is out of balance or something :worship:

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
