when u go foot flat to floor or more then 3/4 after about 4k revs itll start missfiring/popin as such my guess was new coil packs wood solve that problem as it is a stock car with a FMIC on it and a pod but before 4k revs and if ur not ful throttle it doesnt do it and it idles fine please help :O

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.

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
