SO I've had these problems on and off for a few months now and i'm sick of it. It's basically costing me so much money in fuel it's not funny.

It first started as 1 coil pack's death and leading to a change. It was fine for a few weeks/months and then it did it again. Then I decided to change the whole lot to YellowJacket coils.

I made a rookie mistake when changing them and ended up killing 2 of them, these were replaced with the brand new coil and one of the old ones.. Ran ok for a while but not optimal as two weren't producing as strong of a spark.

Then again a little bit later.. same problem. I assumed it was the oldest coil (factory one) and replaced that and the other OEM coil for 2 more yellow jackets.

Car ran great for.... ONE NIGHT. ONE BLOODY NIGHT!!!!!! I'm SO F#$%ing sick of it.

Plus it's been chewing double the fuel it normally does while it's sick.

What else could it be? I'm hoping it's not injectors.. Also spark plugs were changed about 3,000kms ago..

so your coil pack keeps shitting itself but your worried that the injector/spark etc might be the cause of this? because injectors have no effect on coils

or is the cylinder not firing and your not sure whats causing it?

as a general rule with electrical problems, i like to check the wiring and connections for the usual shit first.

at first i thought it could be dwell but as far as i know, skyline dont have a set dwell period. they sorta just charge until they fire. can anybody clarify this?

Been going through the same thing pretty much.

I get to around 3k rpm and it just feels flat (not sure about it now since replacing the filter) it would seem like it was limited to 3.5k rpm has a lumpy idle and is lumpy while driving

No smoke coming from exhaust, not running rich

I've replaced:

Coils

Sparkies

AFM

Fuel Filter

I can't see any leaks from the injectors the next thing to do is to check the fuel pump after that i'm lost and will just take it to a mech

Could it be a o2 sensor problem ?

heres a video of how my 33 sounds

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
