My skyline has been idling rough for a little over a year, I have a 97 GTS25t R33. What is does is when I am idle or accelerating quickly it will bog down a little or misfire, it's very noticeable and sometimes it is more frequent than others. It is much more noticeable when I am running the A/C also. It helps when I put the car in neutral at a stop light but still does it a little bit, when I am at cruising speeds it seems to be just fine although I think it would be harder to notice at those speeds, but definitely the worst when I acceleration especially going up hills. I have replace the spark plugs first and that seemed to make it better for just a couple of days. I changed both oxygen sensors, and recently just thoroughly cleaned the MAF sensor. I am looking towards the injectors next but would like some input before I dig into such a large job. Like I said it has been about the same for a little over a year, not really getting worse, but bad enough on a daily basis and more so when I run the A/C. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the info and the link, there is 1 under the hood and 1 on the exhaust, but today I removed the ignition coils and the spark plugs, did a very thorough cleaning and took careful time to replace everything, so far it is running very solid pretty much just as well as when i bought it 2 years ago (it hasn't ran that good in over a year) so hopefully the problem will not persist. I'm not that savvy with how everything works but mechanically i don't have a problem with replacing parts and configuring everything, so the input is definitely appreciated. Thanks again.

The sensor in the exhaust (cat) is a temperature sensor not an O2.

What did you replace it with?

I want to replace mine as I had to cut it to replace my cat. (couldn't get it out)

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
