Hey,

got a 95 Gtst with standard boost and the usuall front mount, exhaust, pod etc:

any way we have a bad missfire, changed plugs, gaps, coils and it still occurs :cheers:

this is what its like.

turn the car on works fine go for drive and so on. then turn car off and go for lunch and so on then come back and turn it back on it has a weird sort of idle it will gurgle and surg intill you give it a bit of throttle then it'll idle fine ? any way off we go then it will start missing some times at 3k and sometimes at 4krpm and it wont go over it, cause it was that bad. sometimes it'll have a little miss at about 4krpm then it'll pull to redline. other times it'll just work fine and not miss at all ??? it does this in all gears and even in neutral, doesnt matter how much throttle you give it even if you ease it on of put it flat it'll still miss bad.

last month we had it missing really bad (on empty tank fuel) we had the bonnet up looking for leaks and reved it up it was missing then all of a sudden a huge bang(back fire)!!!! their was smoke everywere (white) it sounded like a gun shoot. it did that twice intill we went to the survo and put some petrol in it.... it worked fine after that didnt miss intill later on maby about 1 or 2hr's later it started missing again? Got some new NGK double platnim iridium tips in their and pulled plug number 6 out and it had a crack in it, it was black too.... and their only been their 3 weeks ??? the rest were fine.

what could this be ? were are using an avc-r boost controller and it does it even if its off or on....

thanks in advance.

its not the air flow meter because we have tried another one and it still misses....

today its doing its really bad its missing when its ideling and it was running on 5 cylinders but then their was no miss through the rpm ? but then it started mising through rpm and it ram on 6 cylinders again ? weird.... it stalls a lot too when you push the clutch in 3rd or 4th gear and take your foot off the accelerator, the rpm just goes down to zero intill you take your foot off the clutch then it jump starts it self !!!

hope you guys can come up with some answer cause its gettings quiet frustrating..... :D

cheers,

Cameron

errr... sounds like its detonating like a m/**er.. um, do you have any compression in cylinder #6 at all? you might want to check that little thing :D

Cracked spark plug? thats not good at all! I wouldn't be driving it like that at all, sounds like serious problems with cylinder 6 cap'in. May already be too late...

when we took the turbo off all the coolent drained out of the water line and it was fine.. maby a little bit of oil not much though.

we just took the air flow meter wires off and replaced them because they have been dogyed up with wires sticking out everwere.. and it wont start now... but when we unpluged it, it starts ??? but wont rev over a certain point :P

can anyone help ?

Thanks,

Cameron :)

well sounds like you've screwed up the AFM rewiring then. Check again.

Without an AFM it will start fine, just when you go to open loop mode over about 2500rpm it will refuse to rev past that without a correct AFM signal.

    • Got the gearbox in and the front drive shafts.
    • Hi There I went through a rabbit hole of reading about Xenon headlights and the ADR regulations for having them installed. As people have been defected by running factory xenon I was researching in ways to make them compliant. Everyone always say needs to be self leveling and have washer installed, which I don't necessarily agree with. For this argument I'm using R34 as reference as I'm more aware on the construction of the headlight compared to the R33 Xenon, which may still be the exact same case.   For the self leveling clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles As you can see the bold text "these manually adjustable devices from driver seats" are fine to use. As Series 1 Xenon model headlights do have a 4 level adjuster on the right near the ignition (however not series 2) then these model are consider compliant in that argument.   For the Self Cleaning aspect of this argument clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles Now i can understand the argument that Xenon will need a washer as they are over 2000 lumens, but I clicked on the 12 at the end of that sentence and it takes me to the end notes which states R34 for headlight lenses are plastic, not sure if PL is mark as I don't currently have my skyline to confirm that marking is there. But could you not technically get a lenses with the PL marking on it and then get away with the argument that you need a washer. I went through a quick read of the adr and might have missed something else that may cause them to be non-complaint.    But wouldn't these technically be complaint headlights   Would love to hear other people input on this and shed some light   Edit In regard to the the washer portion I might be mistaken ADR 45 (which I believe is Regulation NO.45) states 12 cd (candela) I dont understand that portion in regarding to calculating the candela if anyone can shed some light. Otherwise I guess throw in a washer for the headlight and you definitely comply.
    • Took it to all Japan day, flogged the hell out of it and took it all, am a very very happy man  don’t know how that ended up in Greg’s thread before
    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.
