Hi guys,

My R34 GT-T is misfiring in the higher rpms when the oil temp gets around 105-110 ish degrees (on the stock gauge), the hotter it gets the earlier the missfire starts to happen. Mostly it happens just before redline, but sometimes it will misfire as early as 5500 normally hotter the air temp the worse it is. There is also a slight missfire on idle/low rpms.

If I try and start the car when it is hot, It takes ages to start and will pop and backfire occasionally. Sometimes it starts for a few seconds and revs at about 500rpm then dies out again unless I give it a tad of throttle.

The car drives flawlessly when cooler (around 90 deg oil temp), no issues whatsoever.

Details about the car

- Replaced Coilpacks and Loom with splitfires, yellow jacket loom.

- New Spark plugs 2000 kms ago, NGK Coppers BCPR6ES

- New Walbro GSS342 with direct wiring, Fuel filter

- Front Mount intercooler

- Stock ECU

- 3 Inch TBE

- Running 6/10 psi (high/low boost), the issue occurs if I'm running either boost pressure.

- Recently replaced O2 sensor

- Cleaned the AFM

I have hooked up the car to nissan consult and the sensors all seem to be working correctly, I have not encountered a check engine light or error code.

Anyone got any ideas?

Much appreciated.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
