R33 Gts-t S2 Miss Above 3000 Rpm

[dwholliday]

Hi to all knowledgeable Skyline punters.

I test drove an r33 gts-t s2 (manual) today that I am thinking about buying.

When I drove it, it had a miss that developed over 3000 rpm, I am pretty sure it happened only under load. The weird thing was that the tacho would got to 3000 - 3500 start missing and even though the car was still accelerating and picking up revs the tacho didnt rise with the revs and at one stage it looked like it went backwards!

I am pretty new to Skylines but I am thinking its an issue like plugs, leads or coil pack or the like.

Anyone have experience or thoughts on this issue?

Help appreciated

I will also add that the tacho doesnt want to go above 3000-3500 at all.

The only time I saw it was when in 2nd I built the revs up to above 5000 clutched it, let it go back to idle then let the clutch out again. it went up to about 4500.

It has a nismo gauge cluster and greddy turbo timer. not sure if they would be playing up.

doesnt happen to have reverse EL dials on it does it? white faced....

they make the tacho needle stick, and usually around 3000-5000RPM...

No numbers are lifting, the cluster looks quite good.

the numbers dont have to be lifting. if it has reverse EL dials they are too thick to begin with, and will make the needle stick. they will look normal, but they're too think as soon as they are put in

no, I have checked the dials looked ok.

I have bought the car.

I needed to fit a standard exhaust for legal issues, funny after I did that I left it idling for a while then took it for a spin.

The miss was still there but not as bad, I managed to see 6000 on the tacho, it would have redlined but I was being gentle.

Its either fixing itself - I put some octane boost / cleaner in it or its an intermiten electrical issue.

Unless putting a std ehaust on has reduced boost and therefore decreased fuel its requiring and it can pretty much now keep up. Maybe a sensor is playing up. Not likely.. still thinking electrical.

Sorry thinking a loud.

I wll keep playing.....

ihave the same issue in my r33.. it only gets the miss when coming onto boost or under load... if you find out what it is make sure you let us know...
