Hi

Anyone able to offer suggestions

My 32 GTR runs well but then gets a case of the stutters so bad it can't even maintain a constant speed as the engine looses power and runs rough.

Happened to me tonight and then I had to stop at a roundabout.

Just managed to get it rolling again with lots of revs and clutch slipping while a line of cars grew behind me.

A kilometre later it started running fine.

I was taking it to a workshop at the time so we put it straight onto the consult and waddy yah know...no errors

Dam it's anoying not knowing what's going

Can anyone help?

Felt like crank angle sensor to me but no faults came up

I'm taking a wild guess here! Could it be that your fuel pump is failing? Not providing enough fuel to the engine.

Hope you're right as I'm getting the fuel pressure checked today

Be nice to find out what it is

the number of times the words Skyline and missfire or skyline and splutter get posted on here is unbelievable.

it is all too common.

and therefore, there are all too common checks you can do.

coil packs

spark plugs

afm

those 3 are the easiest to check and cheapest to fix.

plugs - cost you $4 each

AFM - can be cleaned using electric contact cleaner and while it's off the car, you can take the top off and re-

solder the contacts in them.

Coil packs - you can do a cheap job and tape them all up with electrical tape.

or, next time it splutters, pull over and unplug coil packs one at a time to see if the splutter gets worse or doesn't change.

if it gets worse, that particular coil pack is working.

if it doesn't change, then that particualr coil pack is faulty.

change just that one.

if you got more cash, get some split fire coils.

fuel pump - possibly an issue. - new BOSCH one couldn't be much more than $300.

fuel filter - should be under $50 for a new one. worth changing.

they are the most LIKELY causes which you can check/fix/replace yourself for not much money.

    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
