Hi Guys,

I currently have a slight miss on idle. Car is a stagea series one (pre Neo engine).

Its only ever so slight that you must concentrate very hard on the tacho to notice it at all, best way to tell when its happening is to stand next to the exhaust when its idling and listen for the slight change in exhaust tone for a split second. Looking at a digital RPM read out it drops only about 30rpm when it does it.

So far I have done this:

Pulled all plugs and checked them and coil packs (Splitfires)

Pressurised intake system to check for leaks with no signs except rocker cover gaskets

Replaced rocker cover gaskets and halfmoons

Cleaned airflow meter

Cleaned throttle body

Checked 02 Voltages on Consult

What else could it be? Could it just be running really rich?

Ive only really noticed it since Ive put a manual gearbox in it.

What else should I try, I was thinking maybe clean the AAC valve again (did it only a few months ago), replace the plugs even though the current ones have only done 2,500k's?

Car runs fine elsewhere except for some form of cut either boos fuel or rich and retard when i really load up the engine eg. full throttle up hill in a gear to high, reason i want to fix up this miss is so I can get the SITC, SAFC and EBC tuned to get rid of this cut im experiencing.

Sorry for the long post.

Cheers, Chris

    • No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost
    • I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.
    • Not far. If all you want to do is know that they will reciprocate and move oil around a tiny bit, then a metre or so is all you need. Half metre fore and aft is enough.
    • That's the spirit!
    • It's fine. Basically if it has seized (eg due to moisture/rust in the bores) it will either break free on the starter or it won't turn....then you'll know it is freed up If it turns and doesn't start (reasonably likely) you will need to troubleshoot but most likely issue is a seized injector from moisture; same if it starts but missfires. Anything else could have happened (eg mice nibbling electricals) but the only way to find out is to close your eyes and hit the key I'd also change the fuel filter again after a few minutes of running as it may catch a heap of crap on first start
