my 1996 gts25t has had a rough idle and a intermittent misfire for awhile. i replaced the spark plugs about 600kms ago and it ran fine for awhile but it started to run bad again. i plugged in my consult and looked at some gauges. i noticed that the timing degree before top dead center jumped around from 10 degrees up to 15 degrees. everything else seemed fine. i am wondering if it could be the timing causing my issues, and if so what would be the cause of the timing issue.

The car is relatively stock has a cat back exhaust with cat delete and a intake.

I videoed the timing gauge jumping around but the video is to big to upload.

thanks in advance.

these guys answers sound on the money though my old man had a similar issue in his Nissan patrol it was actually the dizzy turning with the engine movement.

When he got it tuned they over tightened the dizzy bolts threaded them and they wouldnt grip anymore and came loose took a while 2 find it cause everytime we checked it the timing would be out we would tighten it and it would be cool until some engine vibrations and loosen again.

I know its a CAS on the RB's but worth a look in just thought it might help.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
