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

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
