hey all this has me stumped, my 34 gtt idles revs doesent miss at all but...as soon you push it on boost it hesitates violently, struggles to make boost and spits out a shi@@load of unburnt fuel black as you know what, i would say it flatspots badlywith absolutley no power on boost. car is running a power fc which i know nothing about, whether its set right or not i would not know.has anyone had this problem b4? any help greatly apprieciated thanx

if you have the powerfc, do you have the hand controller... check things like the TPS voltage when it happens, air mass voltage ect and let us know these values.. also does the knock go right up? or engine light come on?

i have to ask how long have you had the car? it is time to learn the powerfc :no: i have a 34 GTT with an FC if you need some pointers... also read the documentation around the place.

If you know nothing about the PFC its best to leave it to sombody that does. Too many people that have no idea what they are doing decide to play gameboy with the handcontroller and then all sorts of problems come up. ie: engine failure.

Same thing happened with my 33 GTS-T

turns out it was coil packs failing

the way i found out was i pulled my plugs and closed up the gap .1 or .2

If this stops the missfire or reduces it under boost its time for some new coil packs :( and spark plugs to

i'd agree with d_C try check ur intercooler piping. when i first put my cooler on the guy didn't fit the piping on properly n car was fine on normal drivin as soon as it hit boost it just didn't wanna move. went back got it checked out found out the pipin was loose n had boost leaks put it back on n i was one happy chappy again lol

far out thanx guys didnt expect so much help on this, have a feeling its a coilpack or a few on thyre way out. all cooler piping is spot on not blown off or leaking as it is managing to get about 3psi but no more... come to think of it you could call it a severe missfire on more than one cylinder coz thats really what it sounds like while trying to gain boost. as far as the fc goes yes it has a hand controller, no i dont play with it as i know absolutly nothing about it and doesent interest me in the slightest (is actually hidden away under the dash away from curious people) but yea will try and get sum readings off it an let u gurus know , a couple of times the engine light flashed on and off briefly while revving it but didnt stay on, will try a few things and keep you guys posted. thanx heaps!! :)

be careful cause the engine light might be comming on due to knock which can turn out very bad if it happens too much.

I would be checking for fouled spark plugs mate.

I'm hoping the pfc is tuned as well and not just been installed?

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
