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.

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
