Its running a pfc, and while it was tuned atleast three years back, it hasnt had any probs.

Im thinking ill have a play with some wiring and see if it changes idle at all... Just wish i had more time to play cars...

Yep, front of the head, sticks out about 50-70mm and has a red/black plug on it

Pull that out and see if it either fixes the problem, or makes the problem constant. If so then not so bad news, might just need a new VCT Solenoid/Switch (this thing your unplugging) or a minor re-tune just to touch up the VCT issue. Perhaps a mix of both

Start the car. Take a screw driver and put the metal tip against the injector. Put your ear to the end of the handle. You can hear the injector clicking, it's working. Go thru all 6 and learn what to listen for. This is the first step of diagnosing a bad injector. Step two is ohm resistance. With the motor off, unplug the wire clip to suspected faulty injector. Use a multi-meter to read ohms. You're looking for anything that is not in the 14 ohm area plus or minus 1.5 ohms. You'll use both prongs of the multi-reader and touch each of the injector electrical prongs. Polarity won't matter. This will tell you if the electrical coil is bad inside. Unfortunately they cannot be rebuilt and the whole injector will needed to be replaced. If replacing a single injector, it's wise to remove the rest and having them professionally cleaned and flow matched to the new one.

If you have side feed injectors (i.e. stock or aftermarket), yes they will be high impedance. If you have top feed injectors, you could be running lows. You can only run lows using an aftermarket computer. Stock ECU only runs high impedance. post-116132-14045372547201_thumb.jpg

These are Nismo 550cc side feed at high impedance.

These are aftermarket top feed that can be high or low impedance depending on your personal engine build goals. Easy to spot. The stock side feeds are purple in color if I remember right.

Yep ive done the screw driver listen and also the swap, injectors are fine it seems so its electrical or vct, ill check it out further and find an answer...

Thanks for all your input it is much appreciated, just wish i could dedicate more time to it...

Thanks for the link mate, very helpful :)

Ok im still trying to sus this out, ive tried unplugging injectors one at a time and all make a slight difference to how it runs, ive changed spark plugs, removed coil plugs ones at a time each makes a difference to how it runs...

I havnt had a mechanic do anything on my car other than tune or fab work for years, normally do everything myself, but i may have to bite the bullet cause this has stumped me... Silly cause i feel i caused it.

Could an electrical issue cause by moving old heat and weather affected wiring harness...

It could be, but the filter isnt that old, and it was running fine before painting some parts...

But now that youve said that perhaps i should change it just to be sure...

Put a mesh 40 micron on there, all the blocked ones I have seen lately have been Ryco style paper ones. Never had an issue with stainless mesh filters.

It could be worth checking the contacts on your ECU plug. I had a similar issue with one injector not firing and it turned out to have a bad connection for that injector on the ECU plug.

I closed the female connection a little, plugged it back in and the problem hasn't resurfaced.

    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
