i dont know if ud call whats happeneing to my car missfiring :S

in first gear u floor it, all seems fine (if a little laggish as boost never copmes on full :S) then once i hit about 4000-4500 i hear what seems to me as a loss of air (like a blow off valve kinda thing), then the car acts as if it hit the rev limited and falls back. i change to the next gear (3rd usually) this time the air noise is mopre obvious and the car does the same thing at 3000!!!!!.

if i drive the care bellow 3500 this porblem does occur BUT WHO DRIVES A SKYLINE BELLOW 3500!!!!!!

im stumped guys, were do u think the air leak could be (if that :S)??

Has any1 ever experienced this before????

appreciate the help cheers

yeah the cars getting old its 94 series 1 turbo

i changed the afm witha mate, and put in new sparkies.. still nothing

with the coils, when u rev the car u hear a funny spool(excess air) and the car cuts out and miss fires,, i searched for an air leaked but didnt find 1 :s maybe im not looking hard enough :S

i took a brief look at the coils and theyre seemed to be some white powdery substance does that mean theyre fualty? should i go to a mechanic??

chers

i had the same problem, its definately your coils. sand down the inside of your coils LIGHTLY with a dremil drill to a nice shine, make sure you get the whole inside of it and stretch the spring a LITTLE...

then tape up the usual parts.

thanx for the advice guys, so far ive

1 changed the sparkies to 8mm gapped

2 changed the afm with a mate (the old one was working fine)

3 cleaned the coil packs with wd40 (they were pirtty clean with no signes of cracks and scortch marks

4 tightened all hoses from the intercooler

5 kicked the car :P

still nothing. i dont know if ud call whats happeneing to my car missfiring :S

im thinking its some kind of air leak now, or a dead/faulty cpu :S

Sounds like crack in rubber intercooler connectors at inner guard.Remove air box and actually take the connectors off the car to see just how little the crack could be to cause all your beautiful boost to escape.30 seconds with a boost gauge would show you if car is reaching full boost.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
