R33 Gts-t S2 Miss Above 3000 Rpm

Hi to all knowledgeable Skyline punters.

I test drove an r33 gts-t s2 (manual) today that I am thinking about buying.

When I drove it, it had a miss that developed over 3000 rpm, I am pretty sure it happened only under load. The weird thing was that the tacho would got to 3000 - 3500 start missing and even though the car was still accelerating and picking up revs the tacho didnt rise with the revs and at one stage it looked like it went backwards!

I am pretty new to Skylines but I am thinking its an issue like plugs, leads or coil pack or the like.

Anyone have experience or thoughts on this issue?

Help appreciated

Darren

I will also add that the tacho doesnt want to go above 3000-3500 at all.

The only time I saw it was when in 2nd I built the revs up to above 5000 clutched it, let it go back to idle then let the clutch out again. it went up to about 4500.

It has a nismo gauge cluster and greddy turbo timer. not sure if they would be playing up.

No numbers are lifting, the cluster looks quite good.

doesnt happen to have reverse EL dials on it does it? white faced....

they make the tacho needle stick, and usually around 3000-5000RPM...

the numbers dont have to be lifting. if it has reverse EL dials they are too thick to begin with, and will make the needle stick. they will look normal, but they're too think as soon as they are put in

no, I have checked the dials looked ok.

I have bought the car.

I needed to fit a standard exhaust for legal issues, funny after I did that I left it idling for a while then took it for a spin.

The miss was still there but not as bad, I managed to see 6000 on the tacho, it would have redlined but I was being gentle.

Its either fixing itself - I put some octane boost / cleaner in it or its an intermiten electrical issue.

Unless putting a std ehaust on has reduced boost and therefore decreased fuel its requiring and it can pretty much now keep up. Maybe a sensor is playing up. Not likely.. still thinking electrical.

Sorry thinking a loud.

I wll keep playing.....

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
