haha its amazing how everyone says different things, although it really could have been any of the options and even soem others i didn't list...

results coming soon...

[ylwgtr2]

could have been anything.......its too vague to just guess what it was.....to many components and each one upsets the other so it would be just a guess other than a diagnosis without seeing the vehicle

[adznight]

Fuel pump me thinks.

[WazR32GTSt]

stay tuned ... answer coming tomorrow afternoon ...!

[meshmesh]

Alright... Wazza, I think you've dragged this on far too long now..... Chop Chop with the answer!!!!!!!

[WazR32GTSt]

ok here's the story...

for quite a while, the car has been doing this weird miss at idle. very inconsistent and gets worse when the car gets warm. really weird in that it would seemingly go away when the car is put into gear :confused:

so then took the car to the dyno day and was quite annoyed to hear that the car was pinging on the dyno. many ideas were running through my head which i posted in the poll...

so went down to see my mate Prassana at Performance Jap Specialist (9357 0658) as he has an r32 half cut there. he let me drive my car up and change over anything i thought might be causing the problem, and hte deal was to jsut pay for what the fix was. good deal i though. i changed:

- coils (got one and swapped it with all of mine to see if it fixed the problem)

STILL MISSING

- afm

STILL MISSING

- O2 sensor

STILL MISSING

so feeling dejected, i went home and changed the spark pugs but it was STILL MISSING!

At this stage i suspected the fuel pump as it explained all my problems, but i also thought in the back of my mind that it could be a blocked cat. I was sure it wasn't the timing as when i had the GTR cams put in the timing would have to be re-done by my mechanic.

well on sunday, i washed my car and was armourall-ing the interior when dad comes into the garage and starts talking about the miss. we decide to check the timing.

already have the coil cover off (the plate that says nissan twin cam whatever) so plugged the timing light into cylinder 1 and started her up

THE TIMING WAS MASSIVELY OUT!

i think it was retarted (i had to turn the cas clockwise to bring it to 15deg btdc). would have been out about 10deg at least.

i was shocked.

so i adjusted it and took her for a drive down the street. WOW all the problems fixed. Wanted to give that timing light a ramming i was so happy

if only it were fixed before the dyno day!

congratulations to the winners of "SAU VIC Armchair Tuners of the Year", 2004:

Look on the brighter side, at least you'll only have to fork out 5 (not 42) R34GTR's, Monash university notepads!

[WazR32GTSt]

well i think they only get a page each from the notepad as i still need it for writing down stuff at work...

[inark]

lol waz... errrrr.... didnt the guys at the dyno even check that?

[WazR32GTSt]
