R33 Gtst S1 Issues (negative Timing, Misfiring)

Hey all, my consult cable finally arrived today and I've been playing around with it. I noticed that the timing sits at 15 according to the ecu but if you rev it in neutral then let off it drops to between -3 to 5 depending on what it's revved to then goes back to 15. As this is my first skyline I'm not sure if this is normal, from searching it seems like it isn't? Could this be caused by an atmo blow off valve (replacing soon) as the timing drops at the same time as it dumps or by bad timing? The car won't rev above 2,500rpm without serious misfiring under load so is this another sign of bad timing. My first thought for the misfire issue was bad coils as two seem to be from a rb20 and the other 4 are OEM, meaning two already died from previous owner, but now with the timing doing what it is, I'm not sure. I haven't had a chance to get it checked out because its unregistered right now so taking it to a tuner is tough.

TLDR;

  • Negative timing after letting off gas
  • Won't rev above 2,500rpm under load without tonnes of misfiring, revs fine in neutral
  • Any decent mobile mechanics in brisbane area

Thanks!

sounds like a bad air flow meter, re solder it (there is a how to here somewhere)

*edit*
have a read, might be your issue.

Thanks mate I'll give it a go and report back :)

Alright so re-soldered the AFM, now revs up to 5000rpm instead of 2,500rpm. Still get a lot of misfiring at the 5k mark now as well as intermittent misfiring from the 3k rev range. So it seems the AFM fix did somewhat solve it. Would the 5k misfires be a coilpack issue?

EDIT: I feel pretty dumb now, popped the bonnet and found the vacuum hose for the fuel pressure regulator had popped off during the test. One would assume my issue was solved by re-soldering the AFM and the 5k misfiring was caused by that. :rofl2:

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.

      This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.

      Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.

      The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
