Hey guys after my car has been sitting for a couple of months and not driving on any roads only idling around a paint shop and car park, I decided to drive my car home to do some other work to it. When I started the car up the idle sounded alittle different. It didn't worry me until I took off on the road and it missed and stalled and wouldn't start inless foot is flat.Ok so the car will start first very well when cold and will idle well for about a minute after that it misses chases idle and sounds dreadfull.

I've done the following mods before the car about 18 months ago. Car was running beautifully.

Wolf Ecu

R34highflow

plasmaman intercooler kit

Dual stage boost

Full 3 inch

Splitfire coilpacks packs

Borsh fuel pump.

3inich metal intake.

no bov.

The car was running 16psi and never missed or carried on until now. Anybody out there ever had this problem.Or know what it could be? Thanx guys

Me too I've had a few skylines. I checked the spark and my plugs were very dirty after only a week of moving the car around the garage. I think my coils are stuffed but wat could be causing the ignitior to kill my splitfire coilpacks. Evilness!

Fresh. 3 day's old! I'm goin to put a new fuel filter in the 33 today. If the problem is still there I'm going to clean the AAC valve and put more new plugs in.

If the misfire is still there after all that. Gap the plugs down to .8 if there not already .8

Its probably the Borsh fuel pump choking on the gravy :yes:

Is it Bosch or Borscht cos it can have a huge effect.

But seriously think about checking your fuel pressure and see if your pump is still OK. Sounds a bit like fuel starvation to me.

Over a yr later I'm back on . I had 1 coil pack go and a faulty injector . Car runs like a bullet train now on boost . Now the only probly is if can take a bit to start ( pump accelerator ) and somtimes back fire on start up .  I've done a compression test . All good . So yeah bit of a timing problem .

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
