Hi guys

A few details before we start

R32 Skyline Coupe
RB25DE S2 (Manual) - ~160,xxxkm

RB25 Pink Label AFM
RB25DE S2 Manual ECU
BP 98 octane fuel

Basically what's happening is my revs bog down at around the 2.5k - 3.5k mark at around 1/4 - 1/3 Throttle and it sounds like it's surging almost? I had a similar problem recently throughout the whole rev range unless I had the throttle wide open so I ordered a new TPS and after installing and adjusting it that issue was solved however I'm still getting this strange bog down

So far I've replaced the Spark plugs, checked the coil pack loom for any wear but it looks quite clean and in good condition. I've recently replaced and adjusted the TPS, I've cleaned the MAF a few times now, replaced all the fluids, filters, air filter etc etc

I have coming from Nissan a new O2 sensor and fuel filter as i though these might be playing a part in the matter, I've also gone over the engine grounds to make sure nothing is going wrong. Should i be looking at a set of coilpacks? they look old/stock so they might've had it, im pretty baffled to be honest :/

My thoughts are that either the coilpacks are dying, or that it's running too rich (stinks of fuel lol, no idea of the o2 sensor history) and simply can't burn it all until i open the throttle more, I'll try find another AFM and see if that helps at alll


If anyone has some ideas to what I could try, please let me know :) Thanks!

start with a cheap bottle of injector cleaner, mine was having similar problems where it will surge sometimes unless the foot is flat and i tried so many things and a cheap $10 bottle of injector cleaner fixed it within 20mins of driving

how did it go?

Hey Mick

Filled the car up and put in a bottle of cleaner and went for a drive, definitely felt a little better about halfway through the tank, still a bit surge-y and splutter-y at times unfortunately but a little better, car feels nice when it's smooth! :woot:

My O2 sensor arrived which i put in last night but I'm yet to take it for a drive so we'll see how it goes :)

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
