I've noticed recently that on 3rd and 4th gear when I push it to just past 3k rpm the car violently jerks. It almost feels like the engine just cuts out and then comes back into play.

What could be the problem here?

Airflow cut.

Or your girlfriend getting excited, sometimes they can't wait to get home... Those were the days...

This might be a stupid question but is it a major problem and how much am I looking to get it fixed?

LOL. My girlfriend doesn't drive a manual.

If the car is stock, the AFM could need re-soldering. If it is modified you will need to let us know the mods, and what, if anything was changed recently.

The only mods it has is a K&N air filter and a full 3" exhaust system (Don't know what brand) and that's about it really.

Try cleaning the AFM first, if that doesn't fix anything, try the re-soldering trick on the afm (there is a how to here) or borrow another one to try.

How old are the plugs?

Sorry I'm really new to skylines so what is an AFM?

The 'air flow meter' it is the black plastic tubing before your k&n filter. With the wiring coming out.

Easy to remove. Recommend searching for the diy on cleaning and soldering afm

I can't seem to find the afm. Do you have a picture that could help me out?

if you cant find the afm then the chances of you fixing the car yourself are limited at best

suggest employing a qualified mechanic to sort the car out for you?

do you know how much boost you are running or if you have a guage what it hits just befor the cut

Unfortunately not. Just replaced my air filter though and the problem seems to have disappeared. Might be getting a gauge in the near future though so its easier to diagnose problems.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
