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?

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.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
