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

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
