R32 Gtst Missing - New Problem

Hi,

R32 GTS4(t) I have been having this problem for a short while now. After driving for a while (usually quite hard or in warmer weather) my car develops a mis-type problem. At say 3000 rpm in fourth gear (a little low I know), I will but my foot down on the accelerator and nothing will happen - the car kind of splurts about but no power. It feels a little like when you blow an intercooler hose. After a few moments the car will return to normal and after a few longer moments begin to splurt again. If I turn the car off (say at the lights) and start it back up again it seems to work OK.

I have a boost and fuel pressure guage which both read pretty normally when this happens so I don't think it is a fuel pump / wiring / delivery issue.

I noticed today (which I have not noticed before) that my exhaust temp warning light came on? Does that help?

I had a quick search around and it seems that no-one has described anything like this.

I need help!

Are you using the factory IC? It's possible you are getting detonation because the air temp is way too high, and the knock sensors are retarding the system.

The factory IC, when used in Oz on a hot day, is about as useful as tits on a bull.

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Good to hear. Hopefully you're happy enough not to notice when driving and just enjoy yourself.

      I mean, most of us just love cars. Doesnt necessarily have to be a skyline.

      Did you pick up a manual cluster to remove the position indicator?  (Pretty sure the 34 has the gear position in the cluster, but it's been a while)

      Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......

      440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
