hey guys,

I recently had my cooler piping redone in my silvia so my bonnet would close properly it has any rb20det in it, anyway when i got it back from the place i had redo the piping.

I took it for a drive and high in the rev range not quite sure where (have not replace tacho yet) it looses all powerand miss fire's badly for about 30 seconds during and after giving it a bit of throttle and then idels fine.

you can rev it on the spot and it is fine it is only when driving when it is under load.

I think it might be a coil pack but i tested all of them with a multi meter and they all have the same reading and the spark plugs are fine they have been in ther for about 45000 there iridium ngk plugs what do you think is wrong with it i also found that the place i had do the piping did not clean out the piping properly it had metal filings still in the piping still have to do a compression test but the power delivery is fine untill it starts to miss fire so i would assume that the compression is fine, it seams to be ignition to me but please

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there are a few things you can do which will cost you nothing or very little that may sort out the problem.

1.) replace those 45000km old spark plugs… Get yourself a set of copper plugs in the correct heat range (do a search for skyline spark plugs to get part number), make sure they are 0.8mm gapped and recheck them with a feeler tool.

2.) Take out those coil packs. Get some good electrical tape (not the 6 rolls for $2 kind) and tape up the rubber parts all the way from the spark plug end up to the coil pack end. I went up and down mine with 3 layers of tape.

3.) Take out your AFM, get some degreaser (or electrical contact cleaner, they both work) and spray the inside of your AFM… rinse it out, (do it again if not completely clean), then dry it out before fitting it back to the car.

There you go.

3 things that will cost you some of your time and maybe $30 for 6 plugs and some electrical tape and can of degreaser.

If these things fix it, all good.

If they don’t, all you’ve done is wasted a few of your hours.. but now you have good coil packs, new spark plugs and a clean AFM, and can be certain it’s not those causing the problem.

    • I'll tell her I put in a new air filter on it, which, it would have anyway with the ITB's In the end she isn't to fussed, she spends lots of money on hair, nails, make-up and all the other "required" beauty products that women use, plus I grease the wheels with shiny gifts and holidays wherever and whenever I can She once questioned my car spending "budget", but after itemising everything she spends on herself, and what I spend on her, and the fact that I don't care if she does or doesn't wear make-up and fancy pants perfume, or requires new outfits for every wedding, funeral or anything else she deems worthy, and I'm quite happy to go "real" camping, instead of staying in hotels or jaunts on cruise ships, she decided not to press the subject on how I spend funds, and has never asked "how much did that cost" again, so a win to me And how often can you say you really get a win with the fairer sex? She is a good woman, and in the big picture, I'm really lucky.....that she hasn't killed me yet
    • What will you do when the Minister of War and Finance says the intake noises are too loud?
    • Will the clear coat dissolve the ink tho?? I thought about clear vinyl tape too. Thinking what to do haha. The one I have now is cracked in 1 spot, otherwise mint. Plus the MINES one is much thicker plastic material so its not flimsy at all.
    • No. Go a different colour, and just trim it at an edge line. Even manufacturers do different panels different colours etc.
    • I see no real downsides to ITB's, apart from the initial cost of my drive in drive out lifestyle, the "upsides" is they sound cool and would add lots of smiles I am willing to pay to play for the extra smiles I've spent the morning googling and youtubing the BBR ITB's, a "little" extra power and throttle response, but alot more dort, and really, I'm only really in it for the dort Who knows, after all this money is spent I might even make 150kwatw....LOL
