Hi Everyone! 

Recently for the past 3 months I've been struggling with a misfire problem with my RB25 (N/A), at first the car was only running on 5 cylinders so I changed the oil and replaced the coil packs with red jackets and they seemed to have remedied the problem until now. Recently I have replaced the coil packs with Splitfires and all spark plugs have been replaced, whenever I drive maybe after 20 mins my car splutters like crazy and there's black smoke coming from my exhaust, and while the car is spluttering if I press the throttle down like 10% the car will just splutter non stop untill I press down more, when I bought the car it was mechanically A+ as I brought it to my mechanic and it ran perfect for the first few months of ownership. any advice on what to look for? or what might be causing these issues?

My R34GT is completely stock other than a cannon exhaust (just the muffler) and the coil packs (Splitfires). Running on Vortex 98.

Thank You!

Hey mate, it sounds like it could either be an engine problem or exhaust related issue.

You need to have a good mechanic have a proper look at it.

Are you able ro take a video of the problem to provide a better description?

 

Hey Robocop, Yeap I'll take a video and upload it to Youtube tonight for you.

I've taken my R34 to Just Engine Management in Sydney and they actually told me it was the coil packs, so I replaced it with Splitfires but my car still splutters. I installed the Splitfires and fresh sparkplugs last Friday (26/10)

I would be trying a different cas to see if that helps. With heat they can get worse. First thing that's easy as is clean the maf, but that's not likely to help in this case.

A video won't help, and I can't see what an exhaust related issue would be, but hey it's up to you.

Hey mate, I ruled out faulty coils and sparkies as you’ve just bought brand new ones.

I mentioned exhaust as holes in the piping or blockage can cause misfire and suttering.

Come to think of it also try cleaning your AFM.

Cheers

Time to start replacing every sensor and part of the car, im currently half way there and still have a similar issue.

Current theory is the tank could be full of crap leading to a dirty fuel system.

I never thought about the fuel tank, but interestingly I fuelled up to full and the car was very good for two days, but once it got to  just above half it started to splutter even harder, that might be it, I'll have to check my tank to see if its full of crap soon, but for now I will clean my AFM, if I can't find whats wrong then eventually yeah I will just have to replace all sensors one by one, let me know if you eventually cure the problem even if its not in the near future!

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
