Please can anyone help? I own a 97 Skyline GTR that is running on 5 cylinders most of the time. I have taken the car to Nissan and they have replaced the plugs and number two cylinder coil pack, and the problem is still there. Nissan can’t find the problem and they can’t find anyone that will look at the car either. I think it has something to do with the electronics but not sure. It runs like crap nearly all the time now, but if I put it under a little boost while its cold it runs normal till it warms up then runs crap again. If anyone has any ideas on how to help it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Rotate the *new* coil pack and see if the missing cylinder moves. If it does they've replaced the wrong one.

Alternatively pull the plugs and see which is fouled.

Could be any number of things - plugs incorrectly gapped, igniter (if R33 have them vs R34 with built in igniter into coil), dodgy coil-to-igniter loom...

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.

      yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.

      I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
