Plugs or coilpacks. Pretty common with RB's, or the old fuel pump is getting tired. Replace your plugs first, then look at the coilpacks & fuel pump. I've got a spare set of RB pack's if you get stuck dude.

Pretty much plugs or coil packs. If it doesnt have an aftermarket pump, check that as well. Otherwise, it could intercooler piping, I've just fixed that problem in my car. Check them all in that order, because new plugs would be beneficial whether they are causing the problem or not.

man i've had 2 missfire issues with my rb20 over the last couple years... whenever you mention a missfire on here you get a million people saying coilpacks.... and while it is a somewhat common problem with skylines, it was never the solution for me and it's not necessarily the solution for you.

my guess would be your crank angle sensor.. sounds very similar to when mine had problems..

but it's just that, a guess... could be a variety of things... best bet is take it to a garage that knows skylines and get them to tell you what the problem is.. will cost about 100 tops to find out what it is.. which is cheaper than trying 5 different things to fix it.

    • 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?
