well i'm not an expert on mechanics or electrics, but i can only put in the following in hope that it might help

seeing as you have spent so much on an engine rebuild and obviously want it to run perfectly.. have you considered buying an entire new wiring loom and replacing your old, worn, broken wires with the new loom? who knows where you might have a broken wire that may be coming loose intermittently..

anyway good luck

Warren.

the question is WHERE do I get this new loom from - I KNOW Nissan will rape me on this

could it maybe be an earthing problem? a lot of jap cars seem to run the earthin kits on GTR's....just a thought?

not sure if this helps but i also had a similar minor miss when i first got my car back from the rebuild. It was very minor before (twice on the dribve back from sydney) the build but very noticable after...maybe once an hour? i found that my knock sensors weren't connected and had the car retuned connected, and with new copper plugs at charlies and the problem seems to have gone? Might be your plugs not being cool enough? ie 6's and not 7's

i think its a problem with the power FC

My car ran fine with the stock ecu. Changed to a power fc with no other changes, and i had this 'missfire'. Its not really a missfire, but it sort of is? I have been suggested its a problem with this revision of the pfc. Some of the other guys on here also have it. dont worry about it

already have grounding kit - and new IR plugs - and I have had them cleaned. Not sure on temp rateing tho - will check that

can the PFC code be updated (flashed) ?

anyone tried a warranty claim ?

I have the same problem with a customer GTR but worse, I tryed to find someone to test -repair the PFC but no hope in Australia.

I have changed and tested everything inc wiring harrness-CAS- ignitor-coils -every spark plug you can think of-tested and added earths -etc and the fuel system has been gone right thru.

I fitted a stock ECU and did a Data scan with no faults found.

I feel an ECU is as good as its weakest link and repair-testing is this ECUs weakest link in Australia.

to put another spin on this.... i have had the same problem lately...

I DO NOT have a Power FC (but do have a SAFC2 - had it for 2 years though)

Mine starting doing it a few days after changing the plugs, and cleaning the coils.

It also started doing it the same day I filled up after letting it go down to just 5 litres of petrol in the tank (late for appointment no time to stop and fillup). And this was only 1km after filling up it started, so i suspect dirty fuel or water in the fuel.

I have changed my fuel filter, cleaned all the plugs (ignitor, CAS, AFM) and double checked them to ensure they are secure.

I'll clean my AFM, and recheck all connections to spark plugs and coil packs over the weekend.

Has any1 dealt with dirty fuel, or water in the fuel tank before?

Has any1 tried putting metho in their fuel when they suspected water seeing as water and methylated spirits are miscible?

I will post an update if i have any progress....

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
