I know alot of people have a misfiring problem in their RBXX's but I'm trying to find out if just throwing some brand new spitfire coilpacks in there should solve the problem?

I have checked the packs countless times, wrapped them in tape, cheacking for any signs of burns/cracks and have found nuthing.

The thing that I don't get is that it will happen one time, then another time it will be fine. Usually after being hot for a while is when it occurs in high revs..

Any help would be really appreciated :D

Assuming you've checked everything else like the plugs, the coil pack harness etc then go the splitfires.....I had the exact problem you describe (an on again/off again miss) changed to splitfires and solved the problem.

I wouldn't say there bling either....not that there was a noticable power gain (I didn't run it back to back on a dyno) but they are/were heaps cheaper than replacement stockies from Nissan.

yeah i've had a similar problem in mine for a while. I went and taped up the coilpacks and they looked clean to me aswell cat spew. Then i also replaced the plugs, but i later found out my plugs are too hot running plugs and they are 1.1 gap which is obviously not good.

:)

i'm going to change to the '7' heat range and 0.9 or 0.8mm gap and see if she comes good.

Fingers crossed..

:O

Splitfires are identical to stock.

Locally you can get them around $600 from some of our traders.

They are cheaper than Nissan, and obviously around 10 years newer.

The performance gain will only occur if your current ones are fruited.

If you dont have a problem then they are not worthwhile.

Cheap option could be get a mates one that works, swap one by one till the car mis-fires no more in big RPM... thats the fruited one :turned:

www.perfectrun.com.au have them for under $550 delivered.

I ordered mine through Perfectrun.com - they took 4 working days to arrive in Melb from Japan!

Just on 551 smackers delivered. You might get lucky though when ordering and they might have some in stock in Syd office, in that case you might get them couriered next day?

Cheers.

P.S They solved my misfire problem - I tried the taping up the coils originally.. and found it lasted for about 2 - 3 days! You wont regret the Splitfires!

After under going some misfiring problems with my car lately. THINKING it was the coilpacks. it actually wasn't

this is the story,

Fridaynight PERFECT, running 1.3bar of boost without a beat

Saturday on the way down to Goulburn(wakefield) gave it some boost on the freeway misfiring all the way to redline. :P head down to supercheap at goulburn for silicon spray (before going to the track) still problems.

ON the way to wakefield from goulburn supercheap. the car was good again! hahah werid. anyways.

Car was running fine til around 3pm, damn it was hot that day 32-35degrees track/road temp! then at 3pm car started misfiring on 1.0bar of boost(didn't bother with high boost).

days later, car still misfiring, bought some copper heat range 7 ngk plugs, regap them to 0.8mm

(my old plugs have only down 25000kms they are iridiums-jap around 0.9-1.0mm can't remember)

TESTed the car. 1.0bar of boost it was fine (this is at night)

anything higher then 1.0bar of boost it misfired BUT not as bad just 1 or 2 jerks.

not happy :) thought it was the coil packs ($550 for spitfires from perfectrun)

then went to SAU dyno day.

high boost 1.3bar Misfiring ben backed off <knocking>

low boost 1.0bar misfiring ben backed off <knocking>

boost controller OFF! (10pounds) 180rwkw. not happy.

THEN i thought OMG, what a bad day. insurance for both cars due and need to save up for coilpacks.

BEFORE, taking this move and investing the big $$$ call my tuner he recommended and says HE always runs 0.65mm in most R33 gts25t with high boost. (1.30bar - 18-19pounds)

SO finally resort... regapped them from 0.8mm --> to 0.65mm

then out for testing............

1.0bar........ Smooth.........

1.1bar ...... still good

1.2bar. ..... not missing a beat

1.3bar.. BINGO!.. problem solved!. NO MORE misfiring!... SO HAPPY that it was my $24 copper plugs that solved the problem not coil packs for $550.

but then again thats my car.. different for everyone. doens't hurt to try though.

;)

my 2cents

Ray - The problem you had there is a COIL problem. By shortening the plug gap, you are simply reducing the amount of energy required for the spark to jump the gap. If you buy coils, you can probably regap the plugs to 0.8 or 1mm

exactly what my tuner said..

im running 0.6 since the boost was blowing the spark out at 18 psi...

going the split fires then back to 0.8 for me..

Edited by Craved

im just hoping that the splitfires will cope with 350ish rwkw on the rb30... dont wanna use these then have to upgrade when i can sell these as new :P

just trying to plan ahead..

but even with the miss i was getting, it wasn't audible really, just could notice the drop in power on the dyno..

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
