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 .

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
