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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
