Hi,

I've got a SII skyline with just an exhaust (full). With this exhaust it was running 9psi (without upping the boost). I then put in a bleeder valve ,(GFB brand) and ran it at 10psi. It was running perfect on all gears without any "cutting out". Then the next day it started cutting out very often. I have since removed the bleeder value and the engine is only running a measly 7psi (with the exhaust) but still cuts out... Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong and maybe what i can do to fix it? any help would be much appreciate it.

thanks,

Steve

also u may wanna get ur actuator (wastegate) leak tested ... coz if that is leaking it will boost normally at a certain rpm then will suddenly cut or jerk ar higher rpm ... (cut out)

juzz get the tube from the actuator going to the IC piping and let it blow into the tube with a air compressor and listen for air leak .. if its tight (the air blowing) that means your actuator is still good ...then back to the square boards..

hope dat helps..

Hi,

I have tried what you guys have said but still no luck.... It's taken me so long to repsond as I was trying to put a cooler in.

I forgot to mention that the jerking happens from about 3000rpm to 7000rpm (roughly when the turbo start to spool) in all gears.

Any more help or opinions are much appreciated. Thank you.

you Ecu Computer has blown get it fixed or buy a new one =]  

i had that problem before !

Let’s all just jump to the worst scenario and start throwing money away.

Check all vacuum lines to and from the turbo, plenum, etc. What year is your car? This can also be caused by coils, or the igniter pack. B4 buying big dollar items I would personally go to a good import mechanic and give them a go at finding the problem.

Hi,

I've read the post about the misfiring.... I'd say my car is in the same scenario.. I havent yet looked at the coils but will be doing so.

I'm reluctant to say its the ECU because the boost was only changed to 1 psi more than what the mods had given it (ie exhaust gave it 2 psi more to make it run total of 9psi and then i winded it up 1psi to make it 10psi) and that when the problem started happening. Thanks for you input.

I'd like to take it to a good mechanic but there arent a great deal of mechanics in the area i live in that would have probably worked on imports....

Lastly, my car is a SII R33 Skyline GTST.

Once again thanks again.

Steve

i also had this happen the way you are describing once, and turned out to be oxidation on the coil packs. When I pulled them out, one of them was green where the coil pack makes contact with the spark plug. Cleaned them all with WD40 and car has never run smoother. Many people I've spoken to overlook this point.

Cracked coils usually dont make a big difference on standard boost, but if you are getting it as low as 3000 rpm, I definately suggest looking for any oxidation.

I'm getting a miss right when it comes on boost about 3000rpm, actually More like just a hesitation and have also felt a cut at about 3000rpm in 4th. Put new plugs in at 0.8 gap - no change

Anyway. I am running the car without the sparkplug cover on, I can see arcing on 5 if not 6 of the coils. So I'm hoping this is the problem. You can only see it if it is VERY dark and helps if the car is warm...

I thought it was only No.1 coil but after a closer look - ALL of them

I was thinking it was an ECU cut out. But I don't think so anymore. I'll let you know once I get new coils or fix these ones.

Hi,

I found that by taping the coils, my hesistation, backfiring goes away so I know i've got cracked coils however, if in 4th or 5th gear I and decide to overtake, sometimes it will just cut right off and then go again so i dun know whats going on there.

    • 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
