Hi Everyone! 

Recently for the past 3 months I've been struggling with a misfire problem with my RB25 (N/A), at first the car was only running on 5 cylinders so I changed the oil and replaced the coil packs with red jackets and they seemed to have remedied the problem until now. Recently I have replaced the coil packs with Splitfires and all spark plugs have been replaced, whenever I drive maybe after 20 mins my car splutters like crazy and there's black smoke coming from my exhaust, and while the car is spluttering if I press the throttle down like 10% the car will just splutter non stop untill I press down more, when I bought the car it was mechanically A+ as I brought it to my mechanic and it ran perfect for the first few months of ownership. any advice on what to look for? or what might be causing these issues?

My R34GT is completely stock other than a cannon exhaust (just the muffler) and the coil packs (Splitfires). Running on Vortex 98.

Thank You!

Hey mate, it sounds like it could either be an engine problem or exhaust related issue.

You need to have a good mechanic have a proper look at it.

Are you able ro take a video of the problem to provide a better description?

 

Hey Robocop, Yeap I'll take a video and upload it to Youtube tonight for you.

I've taken my R34 to Just Engine Management in Sydney and they actually told me it was the coil packs, so I replaced it with Splitfires but my car still splutters. I installed the Splitfires and fresh sparkplugs last Friday (26/10)

I would be trying a different cas to see if that helps. With heat they can get worse. First thing that's easy as is clean the maf, but that's not likely to help in this case.

A video won't help, and I can't see what an exhaust related issue would be, but hey it's up to you.

Hey mate, I ruled out faulty coils and sparkies as you’ve just bought brand new ones.

I mentioned exhaust as holes in the piping or blockage can cause misfire and suttering.

Come to think of it also try cleaning your AFM.

Cheers

Time to start replacing every sensor and part of the car, im currently half way there and still have a similar issue.

Current theory is the tank could be full of crap leading to a dirty fuel system.

I never thought about the fuel tank, but interestingly I fuelled up to full and the car was very good for two days, but once it got to  just above half it started to splutter even harder, that might be it, I'll have to check my tank to see if its full of crap soon, but for now I will clean my AFM, if I can't find whats wrong then eventually yeah I will just have to replace all sensors one by one, let me know if you eventually cure the problem even if its not in the near future!

    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
