I had exactly the same sounding problem. It was intermitant, and turned out to be the AFM. As DVS32R stated, the solder in the connector box gets dry socket and lifts off every now and then. This is exactly what mine had done. You can open the box with a stanly knife and resolder, but easier to get a new known good AFM. There is a tut somewhere on the site on how to opon em up and resolder. Good luck

Remember getting in my R33. It was raining, just started to actually, with a few weeks of road grime getting all wet on the road. New tyres had just gone on for compliance also. They had that silicon oil stuff on them that a lot of new tyres come with. Like having teflon tyres in the rain. Just what you need when you are getting on boost out of the corner for the first time in a skyline. Good to learn these leasons early. I remeber it was hard to get an idea of what it launched like, just kept getting wheel spin! What everyone says is true though, nothing seems as quick and slick ever again.

Does anyone know how much effect is there on the speedo readings when you change diff ratios?

I got an apexi power intake pod. Put it on and the intake swoosh inside the cab was so loud I took it off again!

BCPR's are jap spec ones, and refer to the height of the isulator on the plug. BKR's are ISO spec ones, and have a slightly shorter insulator length on the plug. Only like 2mm shoter, so it makes no difference really. The coil pack spring takes up the slack for the height difference, so both fit fine. BKR's are heaps easier to get here in Aus. Heat range etc is the same. Cause Skylines are jap spec, they refer to BCPR's in plug fitting guides. I run BKR6E-11's gapped to 1mm, but have splitfires. With stock coils, I would run 0.8mm gaps, which is what i used to do with oldish stock nissan coilpacks to avoid 4500rpm misfires.

I got splitfires and Apexi power intake from them. Good price, turned up fine and did not have to pay to exchange aus dollars into jap dollars cause they have an aussie bank account. Highly recommended.

Mine was doing this randomly. Took ages, to find, replaced the AFM and fixed it. I believe it was the solder on the pins where the plug goes on the AFM (on the inside). Don't take it off for a look thou, as it breaks the solder on all of the pins. I did this, and one of my pins look like the solder had been dodgy (ie oxidised where the pins should have been soldered on) for a while. I reckon this was the cause of my random low rev cutout and occasional total stall.
