hey there guys. got defected for being to low the other day and need to get a roadworth. before i went to take it in i gave it and the engine bay a wash. i then backed it out of the wash area and into the garage. about 10 minutes later i went to take it for a drive and it had a miss at idle. i went to keep driving it as i was heading to a workshop anyway only to have the car almost die when i went to drive off. and didnt improve at all down my drive. so i took the car back to the house. its a series 1 r33 gts with the only engine mod being a k&n pannel filter. any suggestions on what the problem might be. thanks

Depends on what the problem is. If it is a missfire as in the a cylinder is missing a spark and causes the engine to make a noticeable jump then your coilpacks need to be replaced. This is likely as your coilpacks are pretty sensitive (shock, moisture). Also depends what else you got wet and how the engine is behaving so try and give us some more details.

the car runs great first thing when the engine is cold. as it starts to warm up it starts missing at low revs. the hotter the engine get the worse it gets at higher revs. so when it first starts to warm up the car runs well when travelling at 2500 rpm but almost stalls at idle. then when at operating temperature the car misses badly at revs and only slightly at idle. will be checking coils.and plugs this morning

It'll get better over time but it'll wear the f**k out of your engine.

Pull every spark plug out, dry out each plug/where it plugs into.

Make sure none of them are f**ked. You may want to grab a piece of fine-grit sand paper and clean up the sparking parts of the spark plugs.

Then, you need to get in your car, drive down to the local mechanic, tell him what you did and let him fix it.

Running worst when warm reminds me of my coilpack issue... i covered it in silicon however I'd recommend you leave that resort till last. You want to attack the immediate problem as opposed to imminent problems.

But yeah tbh I wouldn't even bother touching the car myself.. your mechanic will have all the replacement parts and knowledge you need to fix this.

geez i really cant remember the voltages but if you had a power fc it would tell you automatically. There's a few posts that explain which terminals are which and what the correct volatges are. Not too sure if you should bother with this one, basically the car wont be able to hold idle and will just die if the afm is ruined.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out

      OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
