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

    • Would this not be the same for the exhaust you've posted up?  If your exhaust volume and emissions are fine, why does the brand of pipe matter? 
    • The issue is more the fact that there is inspectors that deal with japanese cars a lot and they might know what a real Mines pipe looks like. And then they're gonna get antsy and not pass your car. But I'd have to talk to one of them about this, because you know as well as me that it's just a damn pipe and it effectively doesn't do anything. As I need to have my GT2860s and my exhaust setup (and the increase in HP) TÜV'd anyways maybe they can just correct the entry in the papers or assign a badge to the front pipe. I'm no expert either though, will inquire about this.     Thanks for the insight. Not sure if having a custom made pipe is good or not. Will find out in due time I suppose. Would be kind of funny if this was made in Germany though.
    • See this is a really tricky topic as technically the same rules apply to all cars but for cars but there is a difference. If you want to modify a car like the Skyline which never existed here you have a bit more freedom as they do not adhere to EU specs anyway. Any modification you do has to be in dividually checked anyway so as long as one of the inspectors think it's ok and within the TÜV ruleset you can get stuff like a top secret rear diffuser put in your papers. Which frankly would need a shitload of tests and certificates for EU spec cars, like a 2010 BMW M3 for example. But if you DO run these tests and all tests come out ok (safety stuff for the most part) there is no problem running such a part legally. It's just way too expensive to do for a single person on one car. The most touchy parts are emissions related mods, like an exhaust, turbos, air intakes. If it makes noise or alters the carbon emissions it's essentially illegal until you prove it's not. Meaning it doesn't exceed noise limits or have worse carbon emissions. I'd say for hoses if you replace them same same it doesn't matter what material they are or what brand you use. Same for nuts and bolts usually, they won't go and specifically check that your water hoses and some bolts are 100% OEM parts, that is nonsense.
    • What I don't understand here is that it mentions using a sealant. So either way you're ruining the inside of the tire and making a huge mess to clean up. Why not just do that, air it back up to spec, then take it all off and put it back in the car? Also, why not just include a plug kit that's not garbage?
    • What a f**king weener. I have worked in Gary, IN. At the time there were more gun deaths each night there than almost anywhere else in the world. Still not a reason to be afraid. 95% of people from your part of the world only have 3 teeth left from when you were addicted to meth, and now you're perpetually wrecked by Fentanyl. The only saving grace is that most of you didn't vote for Trumpler. Speaking of which, I'm off to the oval office right now. Got to relieve my bowels.
