he he... I don't know.. I destroyed my motor and when I had it rebuilt the problem had gone... when we pulled the motor out we discovered the thermostat was dead so we replaced it... I believe it was the thermostat causing my problem but as you have replaced yours I don't think it would be that...???

sorry I can't be more help

cheers

Nick

id replace the coil packs or maybe jusrt borrow some i know what you said up the top but there is a first for everything and i had this problem once, i was driving along and bang it sounded like a rex, i thought it had dropped a cylinder or somthing, i got home took the cover off to see the coil packs tapped them a bit and bam up and running perfect and hasnt missed a beat since. although i still keep the alan key in the car just in case so it might be one of your coil packs isnt wright.

yeh thats a possiblity but its just harder wen checking when cold cause on the rb20det i can only reach cylinders 1-3 numbrs 4,5,6 are under the inlet piping :D

i dont use the cover on there but wen it breaks down wen hot u can just play around lookin 4 fault once engine is hot, but now being the cold issue i have limted time to fault find b4 it corrects itself and drives normal,

the fault is so annoying cause it is intermittant it wont do it many days, this will sound strange but it only happens on hot days once parkd out front work 4 9 hours then wne drive it goes rexxy till engine warms up. on a cooler day it wont do it!!!!

me confussed

:( :bs!: :bs!: :bs!:

Time to bite the bullet me thinks :)

Had this problem once for approx 2hrs....

changed spark plugs, put car back together :)......

sounds like a WRX!

take coil packs / plugs etc etc out again... tighten!

SKYLINE again!

in my opinion it was just a loose connection or something I hadn't tightened properly. Obviously yours is something more serious but everything points to the coil packs so if you can be bothered buy 1 and swap it round till you find the right one........ or if your made of money just replace em all :wassup:

okay wen my car is cold it goes in to sterioded rexxy mod until it gets warm mayb 5 mins driving , wen my coil pack go fualty they break down when hot so this leads me to beleive that it is not the coil packs!!!!!!

iam guessing spark plugs any suggestions any1

thanks ppls

Have you tried adjusting the tps? When it runs smoothly what idle rpm have you got. You have nothing to lose by adjusting the tps to lower the idle rpm if too high or vise versa to around 650/700 at idle. If tps is out of sinc it will give erratic readings and create hunting idle quality.

Well what i would do is, when up first start it and its missing or running on one less cylinder go through and unplug each coil 1 by 1 untill you find which one is the trouble one. You'll be able to tell which one it is because when you unplug the faulty one it will do nothing but sound the same but the others will make it sound worse, then simply replace it with a good one.

But if it is one of your coil packs, and you replace it, it wont be long and you'll have to replace them all I recon. So if you can aford it I would replace the lot with some splitfire ones(arond $650 if you shop about) or go for some seperate coils and run leads to your plugs eg: CDI type setup.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
