Hi there. I read your post and it brought back so many memories of my skyline. It' an awesome car but the problems can be endless. Mine had the exact same problems after trying to fix it for almost 1 and a half years and spending a whole lot of cash on it I sold it in the end. The guy who bought it from me had owned one previously and had the same problems before he sold his. He bought mine in an attempt to try and get it fixed but last I heard he didn' win. In my country there is no support for the v35 model so it's difficult and expensive to 2 really fix. I had the pumps in the tank changed the pump in the engine bay changed. Removed the catalytic converters. Flushed the tank and engine several times. My mechanic even stripped the engine, checked and cleaned every part as a last resort and put it back together again and still it was giving the same problems. The nissan dealer here doesnt deal in jap imports but tried to assist us and told us that the problem is something to do with the type of fuel. Here we only get blended petrol and not the unleaded options like other countries. In the end we came to the conclusion that the car was designed to use pure unleaded fuel only. I gave up in the end and with a heavy heart I sold it. I miss the car though, but grateful for not having the headache .

Hi Scott Yes it was the HP pump, apparently there are some piston like parts in the HP pump that were not working to well due to sludge, he managed to clean them out and the machine started working again, its not 100% like before but still got loads of power, having removed the catalytics seems to have given it better fuel consumption. the mechanic says it will be fine for now until i can buy a new HP pump. he recommends that regular oil changes should keep it from happening again. Thanks for all the help guys, and hope this will help anyone who experiences this problem in the future.

Hey guys Thank god the beast is back on the road. thanks for all the help guys

Hi Paul and scotty Thanks for the responses. Im not sure what reader they using but i think its the same one that our nissan dealer is using at their workshops. The mechanic has removed all the catalytic converters from the vehicle ( not a problem in our country), we changed the fuel filter and pump in the tank as well as the sensors. took off the high pressure fuel pump that sits near the fuel rail pressure sensor (it was full of dirt) blew it out and tried it again but still doing the same thing, it drives fine but no kick down when you put your foot flat. the mechanic is suspecting that the high pressure fuel pump is gone, we couldn't strip the one we took off to really clean it out. The mechanic said his getting another one off another skyline to try and see if there is any difference. he also told me that he has another skyline doing the same thing. I really dont know what to do or think... they are such beautifull cars.... any suggestions????

Hi guys So since the last time i posted a thread, these are the developments: I changed the fuel rail pressure sensor. (what a mission to get to), the engine check light went off, drove it and it seemed a little better but still no kick down when you accelerate. it will drive normally, changing through the gears seems normal but when you put your foot down it just doesnt go like it should. the mechanic checked the Fuel pump and filter in the tank and found the filter to be blocked, he changed both the filter and the pump in the tank with new ones and its still doing the same thing, drives normally and changes the gears normally but when you put your foot down there is no kickdown at all. now the diagnostic is reading the knock sensor as faulty, changed that as well and still no joy. Can anyone help please.? Monzie

Hi paul thanks for the responses. im waiting for a quote from our nissan dealer here, he says that the parts will have to come from Japan. i hope they can get it. is this a commom problem with these V35's???

Hi guys I have a 2002 250GT V35 skyline, last week i took it for diagnostic cause the CEL came on and the results were as follows: 1. PO191 Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Range/Performance 2. Mass or Volume Air flow Circuit 3. Knock sensor 1 Circuit High Input (Bank 1) When i drove the car back home, there was no power in it at all, it would only get up to about 20 or 30kms/hr. I changed the Airflow sensor and she seems to run a little better but there is no power in it, when i reach around 3000rpms she starts jerking. Can anyone help me please. Do i need to change the Fuel Rail Pressure sensor? if so Where can i get one and does anyone know the Part number? Please help. my email address is [email protected]. Thanks Monzie
