i just purchased my first r32 gtr. when i picked it up friday the car, when i started it seem to have a miss, but i couldnt tell. it runs like it have a bigger cam. sounds very lumpy. it only does it at idle. does anyone know if there is problem??? when you increase power, typical gtr exhaust note but when cruisin it sounds like it isnt running on all 6 cylinders. i have checked the spark plugs, coils, injectors. i think there my be some sort of air leak. i sprayed some aerostart near the no2 and no3 injector and the car ran perfect for a second the miss was gone and then came back again. also i looked under the rear of the car and the diff has the typical v spec oil cooler fins on the backing plate. does this mean its a vspec??? how else can i tell? can someone help? the car has done 90klm. also with the gtr are they still speed limited to 190km? thats where mine stopped.

All non-kei class cars in japan are speed limited to 180km/h. This is often bypassed when modifying, however.

It's interesting to see how many of these r32s are coming off the boat in what seems to be bad condition - I guess some people out there aren't surprised...

doesn't sound good!

if it sounds lumpy (like a WRX?) then theres most definately a problem (unless it does have cams, but if it still has the factory speed limiter, odds are against you having cams). Get a compression and Leakdown test done ASAP. You are in the NT which means HEAT, and we all know what HEAT means, dont we kids? Detonation! (especially if its been boosted)... Worst Case Scenario, you've done a piston(s) ... best case scenario, i dunno...

But, first test would be what pred wrote, change the 'jectors and the coilpacks... thats the best place to start. Cross your fingers that you find the problem there.

Good Luck.

With the minimal mods youve stated id be suprised if it had a camshafts, but they are a damn good performance upgrade so its not out of the question. Theres one quick easy way of testing, take the coil pack cover off (the part in the middle of the engine with Nissan on it) and disconnect the coil packs one by one (e.g disconnect one then plug it back in).

When you disconnect them you should notice the note of the car change as it stops firing on that cylinder. If you disconnect a coil pack and it doesnt seem to have any effect on the engine, then its something bad in there (coil pack/spark plug).

I guess thats just a basic check to see if its firing correctly on all cylinders at idle. My mechanic taught me this trick when I had a fouled plug and he did that to find which cylinder it was without removing them all.

Could be a coil failure, could be a fouled spark plug, could be a blocked injector and hence no fuels getting through. Id take the coil pack and spark plug out and check those first and go from there (hopefully its just a fouled plug).

found signs of no2 injector leaking and blow by gas coming out through the injector port. hopefully by replacing the injector orings it should kill the miss fire. air is apparently getting sucked in through this leaking injector. we discovered this by spraying some aerostart near the injector bottom (as it goes into the intake manifold) the miss went away.

    • Yeap, not as doorty as ITB's, but alot more doorty than before, induction sound great when I'm up it 馃
    • Any difference in induction noise?

    • Just got the car back and gave it a good run back home Power wise, whilst it only made a extra 5 killerwasps up top at 7200 rpm, it made more power everywhere from 2500 rpm and kept pulling much harder all the way, to the point of me relearning when to shift so I don't hit the 7200 limiter, with the old intake it seemed to take alot more time to rev out, and, throttle response is also much improved  As I didn't want to remove the bumper every time I serviced the air filter (basically every aftermarket and fabricated CAI has the filter behind the bumper) it currently has a hektic exposed pod in the engine bay sucking in hot air, this will be rectified shortly after some some of my CAD (cardboard assisted design) for a alloy heat shield feed by the OEM intake tube behind the bumper, this will cop some wrinkle black paint, as well as the intake pipe for that totally OEM look... The only fly in the ointment was that the OEM "strut" brace doesn't fit over the rear runner of the new intake with the 2.5 engine is in the engine bay, as the 2.5 raises the engine up by 20mm, it's not a war stopper, and I didn't notice any difference without it in some twisties, but....... MX5 Mania is bringing in some GWR "fancy pants" braces that apparently do fit, if it bolts up I'll grab it, it is also stiffer than the OEM one, which is a bonus All in all I'm happy with the outcome      Fancy pants "strut" brace that gives the required clearance      This is where the clearance issue was, the GWR extends out past this
