My GTR isn't running too crash hot.

It's missing something shocking. But it only seems to do it when it is warm after bout 20mins of driving.

Ive changed the plugs and put Splitfire Coilpacks in it and its still bad.

Any other suggestions???

Is it missing only underload or all the time?. If it's missing underload and mainly after it gets hot you might be looking at a faulty CAS(crank angle sensor). If it's missing even when free reving out of gear you may have one or two dirty AFM's that need cleaning or a shot.

What plugs are you running and at what gap?.

Not sure what the gap is on the plugs but I had a set in them for 2 months before this started happening. they are NGK Platinum BKR7EVX.

It misses all through the rev range and even at idle. It idles very rough. Ive noticed the oil pressure down realllllly low. Not sure if that is tied in with this problem or it is another problem.

How about injectors being clogged up?? Im taking them down tomorrow to get them cleaned. Ill keep you posted to see if it works.

I got the new coil packs, not the standard GTR ones but new Splitfire ones.

Ken, he said he's changed them already.. There was a thread by Warz some time ago, and 7heaven is on the mark, turned out to be the CAS which was way out.. and caused heep of detonation.

Oops sorry, my bad.

That's what you get for not reading the post properly and hungover.

I would suggest get a w/shop to do a quick check of the timing and a/f ratios.

It may be a dead fuel pump, dodgy a/f meters ( quite common) or maybe a gasket has gone on the intake and allowing a lean mixture on 1 or 2 cylinders.

  • 1 month later...

also check out the cam angle sensor...get a tech to scope pins 1 & 2 on the 4 pin plug. pin 2 is the 1 degree signal & pin 1 is the 120 degree signal. 0 - 5v square wave. Pin 3 is 12v pin4 is ground....I think :)

I just scoped my mates 300ZX cam angle sensor and found 2 of the 6 120 degree signals dropping out. This won't be enough to cause a hard fault code in the ECU but will make the engine run very rough at odd times.

We will be replacing it with a friends good CAS and verify that its indeed the problem ..

regards Mike

Two options I can suggest:

May be the exciter module (finned aluminium module at the back of the coil cover)

These are the same as used on the RB20 motor. Borrow a known good one from a friend and see if this does the trick.

Secondly, check the coil harness. The earthing spade/lug may be dirty and not making good contact. Also check the coil pack connectors for cracks. If nothing obvious, then again see if you can borrow a harness and swap this for a trial.

Good luck

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
