hello i have a few problems with my Nissan skyline r34 gtt. when its under boost around 4600 rpm to 6000 rpm it is jumping around and kicks in and out. now i just check the spark plugs and they look stuff when they only not even 500ks old. has been tracked once and that's all. i just wondering if i could get some help out here.

So you have a misfire at the most common room range ever discussed on this site?

Search and find your answer....

Or should we all guess randomly why your car is missing?

Seriously, search first. If for some crazy reason you can't find the information ask the question then.

And if you do need more help, specify what mods your car has. That will save people making wild guesses about the situation,and will show you are willing to take the time to help the people that are trying to help you.

I'll add a wild guess in, for fun. You are running more than 10 psi on stock ecu.

sorry mate but a had look!.

new on this alright. and no i am not running 10psi. its running stock .also stock ecu

next thing the plugs gone.

it doesn't back firer it just stopping boost and jumping

So your car is 100 percent stock?

It really sounds like when boost is too high on stock ecu.

It could be coil packs as they crap out around this age of the car.

Do the usual things, clean and inspect cool packs, reduce plug gap to .7 mm, clean afm.

Do you have a boost gauge? I would check your waste gate lines are in good shape and not split which would cause higher boost.

so your thinking its boost oscillation.

yes it does have a boost gauge but it is off never on. well the spark plugs are really dark and having rust all over it as well. thanks mate

ya i have a look today then.

the car has only done 88000ks. plus it sit for over 3 years. but when the car has been running for a long time it does clear up a little

As I wrote I'm also thinking you are actually running higher boost than you think.

Turbos don't stuff up and make boost jump. Something else is the problem.

Also , check for leaks in the pipework,loose clamps etc. The only way to be completely sure of no boost leaks is to pressure test,so I suggest you Google how to pressure test intercooler pipe work. A boost leak would make it run way too rich and would cause the ecu to cut as you have described.

If it was coil packs, it would certainly pull the engine light & code 21 (primary ignition signal). Engine light will also stay on till code is actually cleared.

Is the engine light on?

Question 1: Does the problem mainly occur in second gear when going for wide open throttle?

Question 2: Does it boost ok at 4psi (stock boost level) BELOW 4,000rpm?

gavin when its below 4000 rpm its fine.

i think ben maybe right the is something making more boost or a leak.

but a month ago when i taken it for a drive the boost garage was hitting over 1k..

wtf the dam computer posted my comment when i wasn't finished.

what it was meant to say the boost garage was hitting over 1kg/cm on the stock garage then my boost garage was geting over 1.27kg/cm i am not sure if it meant to go that high ???? .

oh k well for plugs i have (PFR6G-11)

Google what that is in psi.......

Now you can see why trying to diagnose and help people over the net is a frustrating thing.

And the record shows my first guess to be correct..... what an achievement ;)

Read my first post.

I can't believe I have to spell it out.

You are running to much boost.

Stock ecu has a spaz over 12psi.

You are running over 14 psi, yet in your first reply said stock boost when I guessed that you were running over 10 psi.

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
