My GTR is missing at about 4,500-5,000rpms pretty badly so bad infact that I lift off straight away when it happens . Pulled plugs out they were NGK BCPR6EY 11

(11 meaning 1.1m gap) . I thaught this was the problem so replaced with a new set of the same plug but gapped at 0.8m but still has the same missing problem.

I've also tried disconnecting a coil pack at a time while the car is running to see if the idle didn't change when one of them was disconnected but as each one was unplugged the idle dropped they seemed to be all ok.

The car is fitted with z32 air flow meters , do these have problems like the standered units would it be worth my while to take them out and clean them with contact cleaner ?.

Car is going to the mechanic next week but just interested to know what else could be causing my problem?. The car has a few bolt on mods including 2530's , PFC , z32 airflow meters like stated .

question:hows your fuel supply???

it could be the coil packs , they break down under load and more so when they are hot .

does it always do it ? only when its hot ?

other than that check to see if your injectors are maxing out , it could be them or fuel pump .

I have the same problem. Only happens when hot.

Does your car hard start when warm? Mine does, and the misfiring is only under load, getting worse when hot.

Because it hard starts when hot, only misfires under load (I have new plugs @ .8mm), I am going to try new coils - next weekend. Will let you know how I go.

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
