hi there :thumbsup: ive owned my skyline for about three months now. had an awesome time with it until recently. my car had a misfire and was showing all signs of an afm problem. i took a risk n dropped it off to NISSAN! suprisingly they did their job and found the fault. it was a broken wire on the afm plug. so $170 later i was driving smoothly again. BUT! it was down on power, running smooth but just seemed a bit more like gtst on high boost than a gtr :laughing-smiley-014: well it dont stop here. two days later im waiting at a red light when the car decides to idle between 100-200rpm? giv it a rev n it seems to go away. now a few more days have gone by n it seems to be happenin while driving aswel, under load or cruising down hill! kinda feels like someones slowly pullin up the handbrake then lettin it off, so not a violent misfire. as i said it was at nissan so it has been plugged in and came up with no other faults and didnt present this prob while in their hands. ive got a few ideas. fuel filter, pump? coils is the obvious one. ive taken them all out and didnt see any cracks that ive heard about, only a slight burn mark on each side where the metal goes around them. im sure it gets f*kn hot so is prob normal. it has new platinum plugs and is relativly unmoddified enginewise. any input would be much appreciated :thumbsup:

yeah the guy at nissan checked the top afm and found the wire on the plug was broken, so the top one should be ok but i doubt he checked the lower one. just another note, the car does have a very small flat spot when you 1st put ya foot on the gas off idle, also does the same if your cruising along with ya foot just touching the throttle but stil its very small. also whos ' the man' in victoria to take a gtr to get work done? im from nz n not been in vic long so i wouldnt have clue?!:P

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
