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.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
