Hi all,

Just imported a r34 gtt , its stock standard...done around 90,000.... just recently if i've got my foot planted it missfires pretty bad through 4.5-5.5k revs, and stops after that.... it doesnt do it if i accelerate more gently through those revs

Anyone have anyidea whats causing this?

Cheers

Splitfires are a bit of a rip off now, around $600+ new from memory. Might be better off trying to source some barely used second hand ones from this forum, or alternatively go with a different brand.

i had a very similar problem once, and despite everyone telling me it would be coilpacks, it turned out to be a bad connection to the CAS..

my suggestion is not to go out buying a bunch of gear you may not need.. take it to one of the garages from the consolidated workshop thread and they should be able to tell you the cause pretty quickly and it will save you money in the long run.

before you buy new coilpacks if u wanna save some money (this isnt a permanent fix) change your spark plugs and gap them to about 0.75mm - dont go less then 0.7 and dont go more then 0.8. sometimes this will stop the missing

600$ !! thats lame. let alone if i get somewhere like x-speed to do it, probably cost me around a grand =/

:P WOW! You got a Skyline and don't even want to pay $600 to repair it? Skylines are money pits, get used to it. Wait til your clutch goes...and even better wait til the turbo dies on its hole.

Bit of advice, if you don't want to pay workshop markup on parts, source out the parts yourself and just pay the workshop for the labour. Will save you quite a bit in the long run.

I'd be pulling out my plugs and checking the condition/replacing them. is the engine running higher than standard boost? if not re-gapping shouldnt be required. if that fails being the next cheapest option i'd do a upper cylinder purge (u.c.p.) personally i use a product called "injector max" to ensure the injectors are clear and fueling properly and the back of the valves/piston heads are clean, just did one today on my R33 and can really feel the diffrence it made! If that doesnt fix it i'd be focused on the coilpacks. (might be a good idea to buy just one known working second hand standard coil then swap it with the rest one at a time to see if this eliminated the problem as it could just be one dodgey coil pack behind the whole miss) it takes a little bit of time but its better than $600 for a set of splitfires ya know :D

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
