Hi Guys,

Has anyone earthed Pin 60 from the PFC in order to fix the dreaded R32 GTR Misfire issue?

I just want to know, when you earthed it, did you cut the wire entirely and earth it straight from the PFC? Or did you splice in an earth?

I tried splicing in an earth and the car started to idle very roughly and i'm a bit cautious to cut the wire entirely to test a direct earth.

Thanks,

Taran.

I was told by other skyline people that running other than OEM coil packs can cause the hiccup. But I don't think so... And another thing I've been told was that the power fc needs a constant voltage and if it drops below that then it causes the hiccup.

But I can't confirm or deny any of that sh!t.

Alright guys. I grounded pin 60 directly using a very clean ground and it failed. It made the idle really lumpy and rough so now i'm back to how it was before.

Anyone have any other ideas?

The capacitor sounds interesting. How would we implement it?

Update. So i drove the car yesterday and the misfire is gone. Will have to drive it a bit longer to confirm it but so far so good. If it's permanently gone then it means it was the ignition fuse, near where the 4wd fuse is under the bonnet. The new fuse i picked up from SSS Auto looks like a newer type, it sticks out a bit more and the fuse link looks much fresher than the previous one. Perhaps this could have been it? What kind of fuses do you guys have in yours and what model GTR's do you have?

The fuse thing could be the fix. Maybe after X years they get brittle.

I put a USB charger in my ciggy lighter, and when u plugged a USB cable into it the fuse blew. Thinking it was a broken item to start with, but tested it again with a brand new fuse, and its been fine ever since. So it is possible that maybe the fuses are causing a bit of resistance?

i think so but its not at all bad. ill be cruising along everything perfect then BANG the car will just kinda like hit limiter or something scares the absolute shit outta me. then thats all, it goes without a trace. does it once every 2nd drive say. just got new 30a fuses the old ones have alot of green scum on the copper through the clear plastic.

      There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
