I have ordered new o2 sensor and coolant sensor, I get terrine fuel economy and a miss I'm idle so it's on its way out, and have ordered coolant temp sensor. I don't know for sure it's but the car never gets to operating temp on the dash dial. It sits a 8 o'clock sorta angle. What I read was that the coolant temp sensor can cause the huge regarding of the vct and running rich because it thinks the engine may be over hearing as sorta protective mode. I had intermittent check engine light when engine would ping hasn't pinged since new coil packs however. So from what I hear it is pre ignition will update once I install the new sensors holding for the best

Hey, sorry to bump an old topic but I didn't want to create a new one as this is very similar to the issue i'm having.

Curious if your repairs sorted out your issue? I've replaced coils, plugs, soldered the MAF and fixed a vacuum leak but my car still doesnt like revving past 5k once its hot. Doesnt matter what gear, can even be neutral. Just breaks up like crazy :(

It reaches full boost well below 4k(got the restrictor bypassed) and holds fine until 5k. It also does it even if i just use partial throttle, so I dont think fuel or boost leak is the issue. Its running the stock original fuel pump but I can smell lots of fuel when It does it in neutral.

 

i'm wondering if my MAF just isnt any good. Or for some reason its not getting sufficient spark. I'll have to re-check my plugs and maybe swap a known good MAF. It just started all of a sudden. It ran mint up until a few weeks ago.

 

Edit: i'll check out the ECT sensor. My gauge reads fine and dandy as always but ya never know!

It seems fine in all weather until it gets to operating temp. Even once warm it still idles and drives fine. It’s just when I try to put any power down above 4k rpm it sputters and pops like crazy. It’s frustrating not being able to use the fun half of the rev range haha

 

Edit: It also does it if I bring the revs up slowly, and does it in neutral. Boost is good until 4k. Then it obviously starts dropping as the engine starts to misfire.

I tried pushing to redline the one time and it just wouldnt make it past 5500. The cloud of smoke behind the car was rediculous haha so its getting fuel. It holds max boost until it starts to misfire so I can only assume its not a boost issue(maybe i’m wrong?).

 

i dunno. Cars....

That sounds just like the problem i am javing mate.  Mine runs prefect when cold and as soon as it gets to op temp the boost wont kick in till about 3k rpm and then after 4k rpm it pops and cuts in and out. 

I have tried new spitfire coils and plugs gapped to 0.8mm, manual boost controller and redoing vac lines and its still doing it

Could be fuel related. But it seems odd that it would be fine (did a 7krpm pull) without issue when it was just below its normal operating temp on the gauge(I know, I know, just wanted to test).

 

i also find if I sit in traffic for a while on a hot day, the rpm at which it starts acting up drops significantly. Like the one day I was in stop and go and it was doing it at around 3000rpm.  Almost like something is getting heaksoaked. It feels like weak soark/coils but i’ve tried two sets of coils and plugs lol

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • 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
