hey all, engine of scrutiny is a rb20det swapped into a s14 chassis.

as of late its developed a slight miss at idle and under full boost round 7.6krpm it will cut out for a second and then contiune on.

revlimiter is set at 8.5, but when it hits at 7.6 its pretty rough and doesnt like it much at all......however fuel is not a problem as its about 11.8:1 round there.

ive gapped the plugs down to .6mm now and still no change, perhaps the coils have finaly gone south?

yah i figured its proly a coil going bad but if thats the case then im just gonna convert to wasted spark.

new coils off ebizzle for 1$usd and some sparkplug leads and some creative wring and all coil woes will be relived forever.

You are dreaming if you think that's the case. Plenty of guys have thought that, most are now back to the original coil on plug set up. The rest sold the car.

A faulty coil/coils do not display all of the symptoms you are describing. Cleaned the injectors lately? Cleaned the AFM lately? Changed the plugs lately? Checked the AAC valve?

:O cheers :)

I'm one of them.

I tried running 6 bosch coils and leads after the astounding results of a mate with a CA and then an SR. He could run 1.4 plug gaps and a/f ratios deep into the 10's with no miss (and this was still utilising the stock ignitor).

I could make about 5psi on my rb25 before blowing out the spark if i eased onto the throttle, if i planted the throttle it would just break down and miss instantly. It was wired exactly the same as on my friends SR, i even went and got 2 CA ignitors thinking the internals were bigger as the pins were bigger and ran 3 channels on each, no difference.

Went back to rooted stock coils and it was 200% better, got splitfires and it didn't miss anymore.

hehe, well i was hoping that it would atleast aleviate some problems......

so far in an effort to fix the problem ive removed the maf and given it a good cleaning with contact cleaner (i run blowthru), pulled the plugs out only to find that they are still clean and plenty of life left (gapped down from .8mm to .6mm) and i havent cleaned the injectors as of late........

the aac valve i swapped out a few months ago because i thought the one on my car was faulty, turned out to be an improperly set tps.......

i did clean and lubercate the aac while it was out of the car and it does work fine, idles up when its supposed to.

im gonna guess that i should run some injector cleaner thru my car and see if that helps?

its wholey possible ive gotten some fouled gas as gas shortages (read: gouging) may have caused some stations to put in some dodgy gas in place of premium........

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
