Get feeler gauge. No need for "gapping tool".

A light tap to close the gap on something firm is perfect.

Besides this is a na skyline, you shouldn't be having spark blow out.

Unless your igniter has carked it

Did you use genuine cool packs and harness?

  • Like 1

Ill get whichever one is cheaper since i already paid too much on this shit already.

Yes im using stock rb20 coilpack and loom.

My friend also told me it could be my ignitor. But dont u think its strange it just started doing this as soon as i serviced the car?

Also i dropped a couple of the spark plugs maybe about 20cm when i was trying to put it in the block, maybe a couple of them lost there stock measurment?

Also maybe the grounding on some of the plugs are dirty, ill degrease them

And about the afm, ill clean it out tomorrow but what do i use? When i had issues with air flow meter before it limited the revs to like 2300, this issue is way different it randomly putters every few seconds on idle and when i rev the car out the revs dont go up smoothly, it goes up a bit cuts off goes up a bit more

spark plugs don't like being dropped. A cracked ceramic insulator can cause ignition issues. A set of copper plugs is cheap as sh*t, would be putting in a set of new plugs if you hadn't already, can always just keep them aside for later use if it doesn't fix your issue.

I just use brake cleaner on afm, give it a fairly quick spray in the direction of airflow.

Wait what. R34's don't use igniters. How are you using an RB20 loom and coilpacks?

Guys the problem kinda just went away. After my petrol was very low this morning, i filled up and realised it stopped doing it. It doesnt cut off when revinvg it out and doesnt putter at idle . Could it be bad fuel i got at caltex?

Sorry it wasnt caltex, it was BP on kissing point road. I filled up when the tanker was putting fuel in the resevoir. I heard when it does it all the shit stuff from the bottom of the tank comes up and mixes with the fuel. I didnt believe it but it must be true. f**k BP then, i want compo for the time and money wasted

Good luck.

I remember a dude built an engine (RB30DE, he is builder so was doing it for fun), filled up at a dodgy fuel station, engine seized on the driveway out of the place. Didn't get a cent.

Water in fuel or something.

I never fill up at Caltex or BP, always with Mobil (Now 7 Eleven). Helps when they're closest to my house.

Change your fuel filter, maybe get injectors clean if they're old.

I started to get the engine problems when the fuel ran low though, like the fuel light was on. So could the rubbish stuff at the bottom finally get sucked into the fuel system and then it started causing ignition misfiring problems? Ill change the fuel fuelter and use injector cleaner... Do u think i need to drain and clean the fuel tank and system as well?

Does my issue sound like it was because of the ffuel? Does bad fuel cause these type of misfiring and puttering problems?

    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
