Hey Gents

As the car is warmed up not only coolant temp but also oil temp, say around 80-90  degrees the car starts to have a misfire.  At first its just a hiccup at idle but then progressively gets worst as I keep driving and the engine warms up more.  From idle to 1500 rpm the response is terribly.  It's extremely hard to take off from a light, and the whole drive line shudders as I attempt to get the car moving but as soon as 1600 rpm rolls around it goes back to absolute normal with no problems all the way WOT and mind you this only happens when the oil temps are at operating temps avg 85 degrees.  Does this seem like an igniter issue?  or coil pack issue.  Whilst this happened, I had the car on the driveway with the engine running and I sprayed freeze spray directly onto  the igniter with no change.  From 1600rpm and up theres no issue, regardless of coolant and oil temp.  My intent is to go r34 gtr smart coils and get the wiring specialites adapter harness and be done with it,  just hope this helps.  Thanks guys

update= the car now is unable to rev past 2000rpm, just struggles to rise to 2000rpm, sounds like anti-lag(double hecked its not activated).  

can a failing ignition system change symptoms so erratically?

 

update: Started again this morning no faults revved to 5-6000 no issue, ran for about 10 mins, I shut it down.  Went inside to have a bite and then come back out to start it and the problem re-appears.  Seems something gets heat soaked and it struggles to get to 1750 rpm from idle, then as it approaqches 1750rpm, it will clean right up and rev no problem.  During the stumbling, the afr gets really lean basically offscale.  If it was a vacuum leak would the engine rpm be higher?  I see no decrease of vacuum on my aem boost gauge, it sits at a steady 20in/hg.

hey guys

 

update, so in went new coils and no joy, same symptom when hot.  I opened up the cas and found a whole bunch of rust dust inside, bearing seems shot.  blast of air, back on car and it seems good now.  no more bucking or loss of power.  no my other question is how do i rebuild a hitachi cas(r32/r33 style.  not the black one on the r34)?  i pulled off the cover which mounts to the cas bracket but the guts of it dont seem to want to conme off even after removing the screws.  any ideas guys?

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
