Hey guys i have a 93 model rb20 with the following mods:

-turboback exhaust

-pod filter

-turbotech boost controller

also will be installing SAFC this week.

My car seems 2 hesitate from around 4000-5500 revs every so often. More so

since the boost went up.

i have changed spark to the NGK BCPR7ES 1.1 (pretty sure thats the number)

and gapped them to .9mm.

i had the split dump pipe and magnaflow high flow cat installed yesterday which has made an improvement in other areas except for the hesitation.

I'd like to add that it mostly happens during the day and every know and again at night.

If i had cracks in the coilpacks would it be missing all the time through out the revrange or every so often like my situation.

Just want certain exact areas to check berfore i clean my AFM and pod.

P.s - ive been told that my ignition timing might need playing around. Could that be a possibility??

any help appreciated thanxx....

with a turbo tech boost controller you need them gapped at .08 - had the same trouble and misifre. but i think the controller i bought was stuffed , cause gapping fixed the misifire . although it kept dumping my boost when i go hard. so i pissed the controller off. my coil packs had not 1 crack either.

half of those turbo tech controllers were built stuffed . some with out a hole , some with . try another controller

yeh mine came without the hole so i drilled 1 in there like every1 else was doing

i also had a greedy trust manual boost controller. still the same so im guessing

the problem is elswhere.

the turbotech i have isnt too bad i think. doesnt spike at all

im in the proccess of changing spark plus and i noticed i have a split in one

of the black hose lines.

Not not to familiar what everthing is called but ill try 2 explain it.

its a U shaped hose roughly 15mm in diameter and goes over that black

rocker valley cover. directly in the middle.

any idea what im talking about or if that split hose could be causing hesitation

cheers guys.

change your plugs completely

use ngk's still , but the part number is along the lines of r5671a - 8

might be a little too cold for your car , so get one thats one range hotter.

I've never heard of this R5671A-8... is it one of NGK's V Groove range of plugs? Whats the differences/advantages between this and the BCPR6ES that is normally recommended?

hey guys well ive finised gappin my NGK BCRP7ES from .9mm to .8mm

i checked my coilpacks and i didnt seem to find any cracks.

i also pulled the rubber boot off and took the spring out and that copper bit seemed

to be fairly clean. Just took it for a quick drive and everything seems pretty good

Didnt feel any hesitation at all.

ill see how she goes in the next few days if shes still good and if she is well then

your plugs should be gapped at .8mm with the turbotech controller.

just another thing to keep in mind because it has worked for me for now.

Cheers for the help fellows.....

yeah the 5671a-8's are a v groove , but theyre a non protruding plug.

if anyone can be bothered and has a dyno at there hands , spend the 20 bux on a set and see what improvements it will make , back to back against your old plugs.

other than that

as described above , check for the usual afm , fuel pressure or filter , air leaks , exhaust back pressure.

must admit i havent had a great deal to do with skylines , but vls do share very common problems with skylines

This will not cause the hesitation, I just found my hesitation problem, similar to your problem, it turned out to be a very dirty fuel filter, and i mean dirty, the fuel that came out of it was black! try it. part number z200

    • Also, the cause of fuel spills and smells from the top of the tank is almost always the rubber hoses that are up there, not the tank seal.
    • 1. No, as you say you can remove the connectors and fuel lines. Before you do make sure you remove fuel pump fuse and crank the starter a few times to release pressure, and also loosen the fuel cap (just in case the tank is slightly pressurised) as it will pump out the lines otherwise 2. Not necessary but you are right, if it is the factory pump it is at risk of failing after 25 years....Changing it is not hard but potentially not trivial as you have to make sure you have the right pickup/sock for the pump to suit the tank, need to make wiring connections (crimped butt connectors would be fine) and have to mount/adapt the new pump in the right place in the cradle. Not impossible but don't start the job if you aren't confident. Also, the plastic nut that holds that seal in place can be really hard to remove. If you don't have a fuel nut removal tool it generally requires a big screwdriver or similar to bash the ring around a few times before you can get it by hand. Also the fuel lines can be very sticky on the tank lid fittings, hose removal pliers can help or if not twist the hose on the fitting (eg with linesperson's pliers) to break the seal before you try and remove it. Finally, mark the feed and return hoses so you don't put them on backwards and seal them with an m8 bolt to stop crap getting into the lines while working. Add a little grease in the threads of the plastic lid when you go to do it back up as a gift to your future self, and make sure you put it on evenly/not cross threaded.  Having said all that, most likely the lid just needs to be either tightened or removed and put back on without being cross threaded...the seal itself is usually pretty good.
    • Another weekend and another project I have questions about.... I bought a fuel tank sender O ring to install on the car because I'm quite sus on what I've got now.  1. No "whooosh" sound when opening fuel cap 2. If I fill up full tank, there will be a small leak under the car and it comes from the top of the fuel tank, dripping along the side. Stops after a short while 3. Hot days = 50/50 chance to get high as a kite inside the cabin if the car was in the sun for too long This is what I bought: https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/1734279900 My plan was to just replace the O ring but I've got some questions: 1. Does the whole fuel pump assembly need to come out for me to replace the O ring?         Or, could I unplug all the connectors and fuel lines at the top, take off the twisty part (17343) and put in the O ring from the top?  2. Is it a very common thing for everyone to just change the pump whenever doing this?        I see the Walbro 255 gets thrown in a lot but I've got no issues with my pump so far. When I did the tune, I asked the guy to check my fuel pressure and he said there were no issues too. But is it just a good idea to change to the 255 anyway as the old unit may have been in there for so long? The 255 seems to be a direct fit for GTT (I got no soldering iron)  
    • Normal speedtek issues, bin it and go cdoo# or 8hp. So many issues with these gearsets, a mate went through 3 rebuilds and multiple parts with heat, bearing and vibration issues.  
    • I wouldn't go near them, they are rubber seals for a reason. Just chuck new cam cover seals, half moons and the spacers for the screws every decade or two. I add a really thin layer of silicone too and it seems to hold together OK
