Hi to all,

i need some advice on a problem which by other post sounds quite common in 34's

let me first infom you what i have had done recently to my 34gtt $ 6500.00 later i have my turbo hiflowed with trust internals from GCG, 550 cc injectors, apexi power fc computer,full hks super drager exaust,front mount, dump pipe, runnin 16 psi,walbro 255 lt pump, only just put in thinking this may fix my problem.

ok here is my problem when at hi rpm say 3500 upwards and anythin above 10 psi i get pap pap pap sound like a boost cut sound some times it runs good and some times it runs bad, it was tuned in brisbane and all went fine untill i return home I'm about 900 mtrs above sea level a bit colder temp as per say.

if anybody can help me with a solution or advice my mechainc says it now could be coil packs and recomends split fire items at a Cool $ 1000.00

any help would be great thanks heaps ......

do you have a blow off, that might be it, the spring could be too lose or too tight,

i heard the stock coils are good enough you can take them out check if they r burned from the side if so that might be the problem. but better off take it through a dyno run and hopefully that will pick up the problem.

then again maybe your not leting enough fuel in for higher boost

o yes sorry i did not mention yes i have a bov and will play around with it tomorrow and check the packs too.

the funny thing is when i take my car down the coast it runs fine, i did that exact thing to put it on the dyno and it did not play up a bit even the stock pump was good for it ,it made 195 kw at the wheels at 14 psi stupid aint'it ......

I agree with your mechanic... the amount of R34 GTT's we've had in the shop with buggered Coils after being boosted is astounding. I also agree with his reccomendation for Splitfires

thanks for the info looks like i may have ta fork out some $$$ and put some new coli packs ..

but i cannot work out why it runs better at the coast and only some times it acts up, it's more freqent now it is getting colder.... :thumbsup:

I have the same spluttering problem in my R33... on the weekend I will inspect the coil packs and clean them from the inside... also check out the AFM...

Does ur car stall after this problem too?

Is it just me or is there way too many people cars with these problems????

first of all dont pay for splitfires for $1000. buy them fron nungun for a cool $564 delievered to you door

i got mine 2 weeks ago... same thing is currently happening to me and i have stock engine aprat from boost to 10psi, front mount, full exhaust,filter and BOV,

when i hit boost around 4-5 to goes pap pap pap lags and then hit again...

but its not a smooth and quick delivery like most turbo cars should go...

but when i leave the car on 7psi its all fine no pap pap lagg...

i am also trying to find out the problem what i was thinking was maybe it was boost cut on the R34's or maybe my VTT is f**ked cause of the bad coils from before.

i have a apexi computer i want to put in and find out if it's the problem but not enough funds at the moment. BUT you have an apexi computer so i dont think there should be any fuel or boost cut. computer should have difused it...

thanks ZERO for the tips,

1st is this nungun an overseas mob or can you contact them in aus i would prefer a local person for these kind of buys

so you put your new coil packs in and it did the same thing is that what you are describing ....

mate your car has definatley a boost cut at 10 psi with a standard computer i found that out straight away when i got my car and have you changed the spark plugs that could be one of your problems and also your fuel pump for good pressure up high, test it at where you drive it most i have found it changes if you live where it is colder or if you live up from the coast .. :wave:

Hey guys with all the same problem, usually the problem you describe is related to incorrect spark plug gap. If you run above 10 PSI you should consider dropping plug gap down to about 0.7/0.8mm (or get splitfire coils).

The reason this happens is because when air is pressurised it becomes denser, therefore more bost = thicker air. Standard plug gap works sweet for 7psi but any more boost requires stronger spark, otherwise the spark is extinguished by dense air. Reducing gap gives less distance for spark to jump so therefore it is less likely to be extinguished.

As far as being higher above sea level goes. Once you go higher the air gets cooler, cooler air means more dense air. Im sure you can figure it out.

Before anything else REDUCE your plug gap!!!!

hey ppl,

I was also having this problem with my r33, anything over 4000rpm and i would get a bad miss almost feels like its tapping on rev limiter. Today i took my coils out and inspected them and found 4 out of 6 couls had little hairline cracks in them. I taped these cracks up with electical tape (couple of layers), put the coils bak in and took it for a spin...there is now no miss at all, so the tape will hold for now untill i get new coils. So id suggest inspect ur coils, and look closely:)

  • 2 years later...

I just purchased new JJR coils for $399 from just jap, installed them tonight, and the missfire is worse.... So pissed. Do you need to run a smaller plug gap still? Only thinking this because plug gaps are engineered for most efficiency in igniting all fuel and oxygen in that cylinder...so...not sure about that. Also hit 1.57bar on the stock internals, thought id add that, these 33's are strong suckers...pity about all the damn teething.

Missfiring R34 *ALWAYS* = coilpacks

My second R34, the first thing to get done on it was a set of splitfires....I never wanted to go through the frustration of those bloody things playing up ever again. Not doing them just wastes dyno time.

I always say to anyone buying an R34, always factor immediately a coilpack swap, the packs were just manufactured shit and don't last, no amount of electrical tape, silicone, gypsy tears will fix something that is inherent in the triggering circuit of these things.

Don't skimp on JJR bullshit, just get splitfires

Added some new iridium plugs (0.8mm gap) to the equation, saweet as! It only had NGK 5's in it, was told to get 6's, even 7's. Ran with some 6's. Comes on in first, tire smoke, smashes second, tire smoke...etc etc, who ever though autos could be fun.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
