Please can anyone help? I own a 97 Skyline GTR that is running on 5 cylinders most of the time. I have taken the car to Nissan and they have replaced the plugs and number two cylinder coil pack, and the problem is still there. Nissan can’t find the problem and they can’t find anyone that will look at the car either. I think it has something to do with the electronics but not sure. It runs like crap nearly all the time now, but if I put it under a little boost while its cold it runs normal till it warms up then runs crap again. If anyone has any ideas on how to help it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

mate, sounds electricial - check the connectors for the coil packs to ensure there are no broken wires. with the car running, remove the plug into the coil pack of no.1, it is is worst, than no.1 is fine. repeat through to no.6. when you remove one that makes the motor run no worse - then that is the likely coil pack that is breaking down.

It may not actually be the coli pack, so check all the wiring closely. if it looks good, then put the good coil pack (the newie from Nissan) into that location and see if is still misses on that cyl.

if so, than is it the loom for that plug somewhere. if it fixes that cyl, then it is the coil pack.

let me know.

I know that its the no.2 pack as i have checked it like you said. wiring all looks good too, so dont know what now. its definately the no. 2 thats all i know right now.

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
