Sorry to hear about the accident. Glad everyone's alright.

This accident sorta reminds me of the video question when going for your L's, where the motorbike comes from behind the truck at the intersection. Can never be too careful.

nah the intersection is further up when your coming out of Goonawarra. the first thing in my mind was the other person, i wouldnt be able to live with myself if she was injured badly and thank god she wasnt. ive got a very sore head and neck mainly because my head hit the side window. here is a pic:

thats the only good thing i can take out of that accident, but i definately would have preferred just to sell it though. im very lucky it hit me at the front because if i was a little more further ahead it would have hit my door and im sure i wouldnt be here right now.

Poor skyline :P. It looks like it was a daihatsu charade hit you (judging by the car on the tow truck). It always seems to be daihatsu charades in accidents....why is it that shitboxes always destroy nice cars.

The important thing is that your okay. And plus now you can buy back the wreck for a fraction of its real value and part it out and make yourself back some of the money you lost on the excess :P

that little daihatsu wasnt in the accident he was just a guy that stopped in his tow truck to give a hand, it was a subaru forrester that i hit, her car was down the other side of the embankment out of the photo on the right.

one thing id love to do is give a big shout out to the people that helped, a few of the guys helped direct traffic for a while they were fantastic.

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By uchoa · Posted

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?

      Hello! I had a mid life crisis on a budget and coincided with the R34s being legal in the USA. And now I am here, with it having old car problems and me slowly hoarding parts to start building it to what I envision. Essentially I made a mistake, that lead me to join this forum filled with legends.
