I AM HAVING TUNING PROBS WITH MY SERIES 1 GTST. I WOULD LIKE TO SWAP OUT SOME PARTS TO ISOLATE THIS VERY ANOYING ISSUE MY MECHANIC CAN'T WORK OUT($900 LATER). I NEED A S1 AFM, A SET OF COIL PACKS AND AN IGNITER TO TEST WITH FOR 10 MINS. I INVISAGE DRIVING TO YOURS, SWAPPING THE BITS GOING AROUND THE BLOCK AND THEN GIVING YOU HEART FELTS THANKS AND PROBABLY SOME DOLLARS/SLABS OR IF INTERESTED A WEEK OLD UAS COLD AIR INTAKE AND O2 RUSH RACE POD. BIT OF A LONG SHOT BUT I'M SURE SOME POOR BASTARD HAS BEEN IN THIS POSITION BEFORE.

THANKS GUYS

yeah if you post your problem we could give you an idea.

but first thing to check is your plug gap if your runnig over 8 psi this should be sewt to .8 mm not the default 1.1 mm.

if the idle is bad and inconsistent ie going from 1000 rpm to 2000 rpm then your afm could be the culprit.

also the coil packs and the the ignition apmlifier if the car is running rough. the crank angel sensor could be the problem if yua re loosing power over a certain boost. factory timing should be @ 15o .

nex t I would be looking for a mechanic how knows skylines cause this guy obviously doesn't .

last one is to check the cooler piping is ok.

All pipes/intercooler pressure checked , correct heat range (7)and gapped plugs, reset ecu, Manifolds checked and tightneed, turbo removed and checked. Dynoed and mixtures seem solid at 11%(S-AFC installed and waiting for tweaking). When its warm(weather wise) it will pull through the rev range smoooth and hard in all gears, when its cold(weather wise), starts missing as it pulls higher boost even in second(high boost means 10psi in my case, no where near factory cut off). AND, fuel pressure tested under load OK and boost gauge tested as well?????? I tell ya it annoying but at least I know whats NOT wrong with the buggar!!!:D

I Have the SAME Problem as this... Cold = Miss, Hot = Fine!

I Tried a BOOST Controller and its WAY Worse (even at stock boost levels) !!! I thought it might be the Ignition module not being able to handle the extra boost from cooler air???

I currently have .75mm gap which makes it drivable... but, on a 20deg day it misses under 60% > 100% Throttle (around 4500 RPM+)... on a 25+ day it does not miss a beat...

the_tonkau: if you manage to fix this PlEaSe! let me know what it was as I am in a simular position... no parts to swap... no mechanic who knows.... etc etc...

Could be a lot of things and maybe a combination of two issues but my fix was(after lots of piss farting around, a faulty ignition module that was breaking down at higher boost! Dr Drift at BMT Motorsport (www.bmtmotorsports.com.au) found the problem!

Good luck

Nightman,

The funny 'the_tonkau' used our last igniter module, but I still have a spare AFM, CAS, coil packs, etc if you want to try and find the problem...

The most common mis-fire problem I've seen is plugs, follwed by coil packs, follwed by CAS, followed by igniter module...

Doc.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
