Hey there,

First time poster, just wanting to ask a question or two.

I am looking at this car:

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Nissan/Skyline/auction-356498641.htm

Have driven it a couple of times, but have noticed that when changing from 1st to 2nd at high revs under load, it 'misfires' (aka car chugs back and forth for a split second), seeming to miss a beat, but then hits back and carries on like nobodies business.

That is the info via the ECUTorque cable we have, graph indicates travelling from 1st to 3rd.

This is the only niggling thing which is preventing me from buying the car.

A couple of things that the owner has mentioned:

-Chipped ECU

-RX7 Injectors

Now those two things should indicate a problem, but where I do not know.

Do any of you guys have any idea as to what I should be looking for? Best and worst case scenario? Should I just stay away from it and keep looking?

Cheers for any help,

Damien.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
