Hi guys

A few details before we start

R32 Skyline Coupe
RB25DE S2 (Manual) - ~160,xxxkm

RB25 Pink Label AFM
RB25DE S2 Manual ECU
BP 98 octane fuel

Basically what's happening is my revs bog down at around the 2.5k - 3.5k mark at around 1/4 - 1/3 Throttle and it sounds like it's surging almost? I had a similar problem recently throughout the whole rev range unless I had the throttle wide open so I ordered a new TPS and after installing and adjusting it that issue was solved however I'm still getting this strange bog down

So far I've replaced the Spark plugs, checked the coil pack loom for any wear but it looks quite clean and in good condition. I've recently replaced and adjusted the TPS, I've cleaned the MAF a few times now, replaced all the fluids, filters, air filter etc etc

I have coming from Nissan a new O2 sensor and fuel filter as i though these might be playing a part in the matter, I've also gone over the engine grounds to make sure nothing is going wrong. Should i be looking at a set of coilpacks? they look old/stock so they might've had it, im pretty baffled to be honest :/

My thoughts are that either the coilpacks are dying, or that it's running too rich (stinks of fuel lol, no idea of the o2 sensor history) and simply can't burn it all until i open the throttle more, I'll try find another AFM and see if that helps at alll


If anyone has some ideas to what I could try, please let me know :) Thanks!

start with a cheap bottle of injector cleaner, mine was having similar problems where it will surge sometimes unless the foot is flat and i tried so many things and a cheap $10 bottle of injector cleaner fixed it within 20mins of driving

how did it go?

Hey Mick

Filled the car up and put in a bottle of cleaner and went for a drive, definitely felt a little better about halfway through the tank, still a bit surge-y and splutter-y at times unfortunately but a little better, car feels nice when it's smooth! :woot:

My O2 sensor arrived which i put in last night but I'm yet to take it for a drive so we'll see how it goes :)

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
