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:

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
