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...

this area:

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.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
