hey everyone.

I have a rb25det r31 and just need a bit of help diagnosing this problem.

in neutral and in gear: when on the gas it revs smoothly until it reaches 6000rpm then it looses power and it sounds as if its backfiring/misfiring/spluttering.

more info

.aftermarket turbo

.turbosmart boost t

.intercooler

.sard fuel pressure reg

removing the boost t made a difference from 5000 rpm misfire to what it is now at 6000rpm as well as changing the spark plugs and gapping them to .8 with feeler guages. original plugs where at 1.1 gap

any help is appreciated. thank you.

also, when I first bought it the previously owner had turned the fuel pressure right up and said he was running aftermarket injectors. he had removed the injectors and replaced them with the originals but didn't change the pressure. I have dropped the fuel pressure back to stock.

any help is really appreciated

thanks mate.

it has a r33 ecu. I'm looking at getting either the z32 or r32 ecu and going with the nistune chip once i get all the bugs sorted out. iv cleaned the airflow meter with a store bought spray. I hope it's not the coil pacs, there not cheap.

I have taken the fuel rain out and looked at the injectors, they are a dull purple and not much information stamped on then.

I can almost garuntee that it isnt a stock ecu if it is running different injectors. Stock ecu's cant do it.

to be honest id get that car in for a tune soon and attention from somebody that knows because if you are changing the fuel pressure over the shop you could really run into some trouble and damage the motor.

Be prepared to be throwing coilpacks and perhaps a z32 ecu and even some proper aftermarket injectors at it in order to get it running right, safe, and making some reasonable power if indeed it has an aftermarket turbo on it...

well iv just blow the head gasket:( so that could be why it was loosing power at high rpm.. bad compression?

iv started ripping the motor apart to check what damage has been done, what else could I be replacing whilst its all apart??

    • Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts
    • Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.
    • stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.
    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
