overfueling causing a rich misfire due to air leak, dodgy afm, bad spark (coils or spark plugs).

That or it is leaning out due to fuel pump.

Smoke test the intake to rule out air leaks, replace the coil packs as good maintenance on a 20 year old car, new plugs with 0.6mm gap to confirm it isn't a spark issue. Change the fuel pump as good maintenance on an unknown 20 year old car.

Does the car run like absolute shit at all revs? If it is out by 2 teeth it would be terrible to drive!

I hope that is what is the problem, I just think if that was the case that whoever did the belt would have noticed straight away.

i bought the car like that, and the previous owner just changed it in the service, problem is whoever done it didnt know what they were doing as they were a genral mechanic, not a nissan mechanic specifically...it has to be that. its getting put on the dyno tomorrow, air/fuel ratios and boost are being checked and they will find out whats going on

Must have been a pretty shit mechanic if they can't line the white mark up lol. Nothing nissan specific about doing a timing belt.

Good call with taking it to a workshop, be easier than trying to guess what is wrong with it.

yeah well these guys do skylines day in day out so they know whats going on, and he said garunteed they will find the cause and the computer can be read by them obviously so enough stuffing around with it ill get it looked at properly haha

Took it to Toshi today and he figured it out....

He said the way the stock fuel pump works, it gets a lower voltage when at idle and low revs and then the full 12v at high revs.

The Walbro apparently didn't like this so he wired in another ground so that it gets full power all the time.

Problem seems to be gone....lets hope it stays that way.

^^ good job mate. my problem is fixed too. coil pack #6 was missfiring. and the ecu wasnt grounding properly apparently. got a blitz dump pipe fitted aswell while it was there. made 145rwkw in 3rd. not bad for a stockie

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
