hey guys i am in need of help!!!

my situation is, put an rb20det in to my r31 skyline, started it all ok, once everything was done and ready to drive still all ok and then about a month into it the car starts running really bad. Looked on the forums for the problems i was having and nothing seemed to work. when car is free reving it seems to miss at about 3000RPM and when under load and about to come on boost the car seams like it stops and picks up again. But some times the car runs as if nothings wrong but most of the time runs like crap.

things i have done and checked:

replaced plugs

checked coils and replaced as they looked stuffed. the ones that i put in were from an rb20 but they were spring type and the ones that were on the car were a pin type. would they still work fine??

checked cas and timing all ok.

was just wondering could a stuffed AFM cause this sort of a problem??

any help would be much appriciated.

cheers mate i have changes plugs, coilpacks, checked timing with timing light but didnt check CAS! if timing is ok can CAS still be f**ked? i also tried another ECU was does the O2 sensor do? i didnt think that would affect it!

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
