My GTR isn't running too crash hot.

It's missing something shocking. But it only seems to do it when it is warm after bout 20mins of driving.

Ive changed the plugs and put Splitfire Coilpacks in it and its still bad.

Any other suggestions???

Is it missing only underload or all the time?. If it's missing underload and mainly after it gets hot you might be looking at a faulty CAS(crank angle sensor). If it's missing even when free reving out of gear you may have one or two dirty AFM's that need cleaning or a shot.

What plugs are you running and at what gap?.

Not sure what the gap is on the plugs but I had a set in them for 2 months before this started happening. they are NGK Platinum BKR7EVX.

It misses all through the rev range and even at idle. It idles very rough. Ive noticed the oil pressure down realllllly low. Not sure if that is tied in with this problem or it is another problem.

How about injectors being clogged up?? Im taking them down tomorrow to get them cleaned. Ill keep you posted to see if it works.

I got the new coil packs, not the standard GTR ones but new Splitfire ones.

Ken, he said he's changed them already.. There was a thread by Warz some time ago, and 7heaven is on the mark, turned out to be the CAS which was way out.. and caused heep of detonation.

Oops sorry, my bad.

That's what you get for not reading the post properly and hungover.

I would suggest get a w/shop to do a quick check of the timing and a/f ratios.

It may be a dead fuel pump, dodgy a/f meters ( quite common) or maybe a gasket has gone on the intake and allowing a lean mixture on 1 or 2 cylinders.

  • 1 month later...

also check out the cam angle sensor...get a tech to scope pins 1 & 2 on the 4 pin plug. pin 2 is the 1 degree signal & pin 1 is the 120 degree signal. 0 - 5v square wave. Pin 3 is 12v pin4 is ground....I think :)

I just scoped my mates 300ZX cam angle sensor and found 2 of the 6 120 degree signals dropping out. This won't be enough to cause a hard fault code in the ECU but will make the engine run very rough at odd times.

We will be replacing it with a friends good CAS and verify that its indeed the problem ..

regards Mike

Two options I can suggest:

May be the exciter module (finned aluminium module at the back of the coil cover)

These are the same as used on the RB20 motor. Borrow a known good one from a friend and see if this does the trick.

Secondly, check the coil harness. The earthing spade/lug may be dirty and not making good contact. Also check the coil pack connectors for cracks. If nothing obvious, then again see if you can borrow a harness and swap this for a trial.

Good luck

    • I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.
    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
    • Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
