well i'm not an expert on mechanics or electrics, but i can only put in the following in hope that it might help

seeing as you have spent so much on an engine rebuild and obviously want it to run perfectly.. have you considered buying an entire new wiring loom and replacing your old, worn, broken wires with the new loom? who knows where you might have a broken wire that may be coming loose intermittently..

anyway good luck

Warren.

the question is WHERE do I get this new loom from - I KNOW Nissan will rape me on this

could it maybe be an earthing problem? a lot of jap cars seem to run the earthin kits on GTR's....just a thought?

not sure if this helps but i also had a similar minor miss when i first got my car back from the rebuild. It was very minor before (twice on the dribve back from sydney) the build but very noticable after...maybe once an hour? i found that my knock sensors weren't connected and had the car retuned connected, and with new copper plugs at charlies and the problem seems to have gone? Might be your plugs not being cool enough? ie 6's and not 7's

i think its a problem with the power FC

My car ran fine with the stock ecu. Changed to a power fc with no other changes, and i had this 'missfire'. Its not really a missfire, but it sort of is? I have been suggested its a problem with this revision of the pfc. Some of the other guys on here also have it. dont worry about it

already have grounding kit - and new IR plugs - and I have had them cleaned. Not sure on temp rateing tho - will check that

can the PFC code be updated (flashed) ?

anyone tried a warranty claim ?

I have the same problem with a customer GTR but worse, I tryed to find someone to test -repair the PFC but no hope in Australia.

I have changed and tested everything inc wiring harrness-CAS- ignitor-coils -every spark plug you can think of-tested and added earths -etc and the fuel system has been gone right thru.

I fitted a stock ECU and did a Data scan with no faults found.

I feel an ECU is as good as its weakest link and repair-testing is this ECUs weakest link in Australia.

to put another spin on this.... i have had the same problem lately...

I DO NOT have a Power FC (but do have a SAFC2 - had it for 2 years though)

Mine starting doing it a few days after changing the plugs, and cleaning the coils.

It also started doing it the same day I filled up after letting it go down to just 5 litres of petrol in the tank (late for appointment no time to stop and fillup). And this was only 1km after filling up it started, so i suspect dirty fuel or water in the fuel.

I have changed my fuel filter, cleaned all the plugs (ignitor, CAS, AFM) and double checked them to ensure they are secure.

I'll clean my AFM, and recheck all connections to spark plugs and coil packs over the weekend.

Has any1 dealt with dirty fuel, or water in the fuel tank before?

Has any1 tried putting metho in their fuel when they suspected water seeing as water and methylated spirits are miscible?

I will post an update if i have any progress....

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.

      1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
