Sounds like a vacum leak. Check all your signalling hoses/vacum lines for splits and cracks. Also brake booster and variable length intake actuator diaphram for breakage/busted seal.

Yeah I've tried a different afm also a different tps sensor hoping that that would solve the issue but no luck. I would have gone the cheaper plugs but yeah as Neil said just getting to the plugs is a bitch the whole intake pretty much has to be unhooked and taken out. Which isn't a fun job at all. Hopefully this afternoon when I get the car back they will have found out the issue.

So turns out the plugs were causing timing issues with both my tps sensor and my ignition timing which was throwing out my timing in general, causing flat spots. But in all that with a dyno run a tune and new plugs cost me a bit but it the car runs completely different to what it did before hand. Gained and extra 60kw atw from the run they did this morning. Pretty happy with these guys but it still feels like its missing while cruising which is driving me insane... Going to give what iseekool said ago on the weekend to see if that makes it runs 100% :)

60kw gain? It must've been running like an absolute slug before it went in, since that's about half the stock power output. My guess is today they dodged the dyno results somehow. But as long as it drives better then that's a bonus.

Yeah well it was running like crap mums gt 86 was beating me in a straight line which was just embarrassing to be honest.

A GT86 is quicker than an n/a R34. I don't see what you are getting at here. LOL :P

I'd put in a fresh o2 sensor in too, helps during cruise and for fuel economy.

Old injectors can cause issues too with slight misses at light throttle inputs. A friend and I have experienced that. Cleaning them usually won't help due to age/wear and tear.

Ahhh okay thankyou will do. Any chance you would know anywhere that sells standard injectors. I shopped around a while back but could only get turbo ones which were something like 600cc from 999...

Thats a good idea I'm gonna have to have shares with the Commonwealth to buy the injectors from them but hopefully it'll work thanks. Was just hoping to get some new ones really anywhere apart from nissan:-/

So for future reference if anyone has this issue. It ended up being my "tps sensor". It was tested by an auto electrician and everything was working as it should right voltage etc. I managed to get one off a car someone was wrecking and car runs fine now.

Im just curious, how much rwkw you running now in total? Cause a standard N/a skyline is roughly 90 - 100rwkw, gaining 60rwkw would mean you were running 40rwkw before? Unless you are putting out more than factory?

Total is 163.4 from memory. Made a massive difference after the tune when it was done. It was like driving a completely different car power wise. When I chnaged the Tps sensor over I put the connection as far down as I could as the further I moved it up the more the car reved and it hasn't played up once since I've done so. And its a manual transmission :-) couldn't make myself get an auto:-P

Hello I'm new to skylines Australia. I have a very similar problem atm with my rb25de neo

When in get up in the rpm say at 3500rpm there is a flat spot for a second then after the flat spot it picks up again

It's kinda like it's not getting enough fuel but i have a few things I got to look over but I just need someone else's input to help me. Ty

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
