Ah well. Another MAS is over and people are back at work recovering from a long weekend of cleaning cars, talking to car enthusiasts and the general public.

A great showing again by SAU representitives and supporters.

I just thought I'd take this time to thank the many people who helped out getting my car to MAS again and assisted in making MAS dyno history again when my car ran 604awkw. Although we were intending on breaking my own outright record of 617rwkw, wheelspin didn't help our cause and we couldn't get a solid run out of the rollers :)

On a personal note, I want to thank:

Nige

Gerald

Karlos

Pete

Mick

who put in all the hard yards and late nights to get my car into MAS this time round. The engine sounded solid and made good numbers without flinching. The flame on Sat was defiantely a Kodak moment (Thanks SnowBall). 30kms of running in on the dyno and then making big numbers just goes to show how good the work is. As you may or may not know, the car wasn't ready until 5am on Sat morning and we drove the car into the Shed at 9:30am before the crowds came in. Talk about a close call. Without them, my car would still be sitting in the factory doing sweet nothing.

Jack (JAGR33) for making the effort to tow the cars from Ice to Jeff's Shed late Friday night and first thing again on Sat morning. Also, thanks to Nontas for towing my car back to TGS on Sunday night.

Thanks to Bec fro getting me the hot water for the car on Sat when it was needed. I hope the bucket went back to the owner coz I used my own bucket on Sunday and left it at the Shed :P

Thanks goes to Tony from TGS for storing my car on Sunday night. If it wasn't for him, my night would have been a lot longer driving the R to Richmond, coming back to the city and picking up the 6. Wouldn't have been fun.

Thanks to RPMZ, Kel and DJ Abs for organising the shirts, girly outfits, designs for the flyers, the after party and decks on the display. Another fine effort and greatly appreciated.

A special thanks to the fine fine ladiez who volunteered their time to promote FA, have their photos taken with the crowd and hand out flyers on Sat to promote the after party. A stunning effort indeed.

Finally, thanks to all the supporters who did favours for me and the Ice guys to make our lives easier.

If I've missed anyone out, I'm sorry but I do appreciate the efforts.

See you all at the NDSOC day on 28 May!

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By uchoa · Posted

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?

      Hello! I had a mid life crisis on a budget and coincided with the R34s being legal in the USA. And now I am here, with it having old car problems and me slowly hoarding parts to start building it to what I envision. Essentially I made a mistake, that lead me to join this forum filled with legends.
