So I’ve had this car for about three months and it’s had a weird issue running since the day I bought it. Anytime I start it and it’s cold it’s runs good until it’s warmed up but after it’s warmed up and I drive it it starts to sputter when driving it almost seems like it has a misfire but it’s only noticeable when you are stopping and going I have no idea what it could be I looked at the spark plugs and they seem fine just a little worn but I’m starting to think it’s a cool pack issue I’ve gone through my vac lines and it seems like there is no leaks

If this is happening as car gets warmer I'd be looking at the following:
Ignitor module
Coil packs
Fuel pump and associated electrical components.
Alternator output voltage

Also check that the motor is grounded back to the chassis and all grounds are clean.

This is gonna sound dumb but what’s the igniter module 

There is no igniter module. Robbo saw RB20 and glossed over the fact that it's a Neo, that doesn't have one. The old R32 era RB20s did. Your igniters are built into your coils.

All the advice to check ignition components is valid, however hot misfires from failing ignition components usually tend to show up under higher load, rather than just off idle. My question is, is it actually a misfire that you're experiencing, or more of a stumble to near stall? Dirty idle control valves can cause nasty transition from driving to stopping and vice versa. As can dirty TB.

yep, saw rb20 and staright to r32.

Add these to the to do list: 

Get a consult cable and check for error codes
Clean MAF
Clean IACV

@PranK is it time we do a Pinned generic fault to do check list thread?

I’ll get a video for you guys so you can hear what I hear 

Wish I could help with advice but I haven't yet assembled my 20Neo. One thing I've read on the forums here especially about the Neos is a bad ground on the coolant temp sensor. During cold startup the ECU always runs in open loop until a set of parameters have been met and usually ignores the CTS. After awhile it switches to closed loop and starts following your CTS reading. However, if the ground is bad, it will be sending funky signals (if at all) and thus cause the motor to run poorly.

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
