Guys I have a random misfire that popped out of know where !! I was driving on m4 last night and she was running great!! Then pulled into caltex near Blacktown filled up around $30 and turned car on and was sounding like a WRX . Check for loose contacts but all fine .

Went from there to Liverpool Krispy kernes , had a play sround resetting ecu and checking afms , no luck !

Proceded to head home via a mates house and as I left to drive back to penrith she came good all of a sudden , power was back and she was running 100% . Went on national park run with guys and no hiccups .

THEN just about 20 mins ago driving fine . Went to get a coffee . Turned it back on and it was doing it again!? So I took it home . VERY important I get this fiXed ASAP because car may be sold as of tomorrow unless this issue roots me over ;( car is very looked after and only use best of everything and regular service ?? I'm confused

Mine did the same thing when afms were stuffed. Was missing and running like crap, turn the car off wait afew mins then restart it again and it was fine for maybe 15mins or so until it started playing up again.

Changed them and no probs ever since

Try give them a clean

Won't be coil or ignitor... They're good when they're cold but once they warm up and build resistance they will continue to miss fire as long as there is heat in them...

I'd be getting a second set of afms and swapping them in... Cleaning generally doesn't do a whole lot but wouldnt hurt to try

Do u know someone with a consult cable? They are $88 on ebay, chances are it will be air flow meters but consult is a good way to confirm it,

My car is doing the same thing, checked it with a mates consult and confirmed it was afm's. Just dealing with it until i put the 35r on as i have a haltech platinum pro which is going in and will be running on map sensor

Sounds like a problem with the ignitor. I bought some aftermarket s2 coilpacks (transistor built in). One of the coils/transistors died and would short circuit and consult would throw a code 21 error code. Would happen for 2 minutes when the engine was warming up then be fine for the rest of the drive. I eventually bought nissan datascan and waited for it to happen again and turned off cylinders to find out which one it was. Replaced it and never happened again.

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
