Hey guys,

My mate has just got his r32 4 door anyways he needed new coilpacks as the original ones were stuffed so he dropped in some new splitfire ones and car is still playing up.

Its not making any mis-fire noises at all so that would say that the fuel pump, coilpacks and sparkplugs should be fine.

But its shuttering the whole time u drive it even when its not under full load...u can feel it like something is holding back....when under full load the car is accelerating so slow....when i put my foot half down on throttle thats as fast as his is on full throttle.

Im thinking it could be the timing....what else could it be?

Hey Luke,

Try to clean out your air flow meter dats all i can think of without having to go spending big bucks.

Try replacing your throttle position sensor. 110 delivered to Eastern states from Justjap. Sounds like what I had. I had weird shuddering while driving, (at least, that's what I think your describing). I also had slightly unsteady idle. When driving full stick, I couldn't really tell anything, but if I slowly wind out 2nd gear, I can feel it sort of hesitating now and then like it's gotta think about what it's doing. I also replaced the oxygen sensor as a first guess in the hope of fixing it. My mechanic garantees it's stuffed, cos he adjusted it and it idled perfectly for 15 minutes, then he drove it and straight away it was rooted again. He swept everything with an oscilloscope and got no faulty readings, but said when he lightly tapped the TPS with a hammer, it went absolutely berko and misfired as I was experiencing. Give it a go! Can't wait til mine's replaced (day after tomorrow).

Its a long shot but worth a try...my old car had the same problem and i spent a fortune trying to rectify the fault...did all the usual stuff like fuel and ignition but to no avail...finally found the problem to be a some frayed wires going into the ecu...have a look...it might just be that...

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
