just now i took mi skyline out for a drive, there was a red xr6 at the lights near mindarie custom exhaust next to me so i hav it some heavy gas, wen i floored it as soon as the car started to hit 4500 rpm it started to cut out and make a series of back fire noise and lost power so i slowed down and then tried it again and it did the same thing? does any one know wat it could b?

dunno havnt checked aye, just started it up again then and it doesnt hav a smooth idleing noise to it, it runs for about 10 seconds then it will sound deep for a second then go back up to a higher pitched idleing sound, if that makes sense haha!

hey heres an idea.... coil packs :wave:

Just have a look to see if any of them are unplugged. They will be under that cover in the middle of the engine. The one that says "nissan 2500" if one of them is unplugged it will do that.

Just grab a set of alan keys and pull the cover off to have a squizz. Dont worry its just cosmetic really, you wont break anything.

hmmm guys... i think im having the same problem as well but might be a little different.. when i go on low boost at 0.5bar the car runs kinda smooth but when i switch on to high boost at 0.7bar the whole car seems to be missfiring hell alot like after 5000rpm's in 2nd gear and 3rd gear after 4000rpm's and so on.. it just keeps missfiring non stop... i heard some ppl say that i may need a safc as it may be running too rich coz i can see blacksmoke coming out from exhaust when i floor it in high boost and missfires. some say the spark plugs may not be gapped properly.. some say my fuel pump... any of u guys experienced this problem before?

Cheers

coilpacks.. replace them with splitfire ones off nengun or perfectrun.com.. the standard nissan ones are like a grand to buy but these aftermarket better ones cost around 600 delivered get them i garentee will fix ur problems

Here's a list of issues that cause tis common problem.

Are the plugs in properly? - reseat.

Are the plugs the correct heat range? - std is 5. 6 and 7 should also be ok.

Are the plugs gapped to 0.8mm - std plugs are 1.1mm, regapped to 0.8mm makes a sturdier spark.

Are your coil packs old and fcuked? - epoxy old ones or get new ones.

It could be running rich. - ECU adds more fuel than fuel needed running more boost. This can cause misfire. - Need aftermarket ECU or piggy back cumputer and tune.

It could be running lean. -fuel pump not supplying enough fuel to the engine, causing it to ping and the ecu hears this by microphones and cuts/retards the ignition. - need a fuel pump, common in early 33's

Most probably your issue is a combo of running rich, which skylines do in the cold, and dodgy colial pack and/or spark plugs.

The good news is that your engine is most probably OK.

hmmm okie.. so a SAFC is not needed eh? cool.. i will go check the spark plugs first.. i will go back to the shop and ask them to regap it for me as i think if they did it wrongly they wont charge me :D u may think im a cheapskate but im only a student and only workin part time and dont even have a fmic :D

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
