I should have my car back this Friday and it will have a HKS CDI installed as well. Will see if the miss still occurs.

cool

I'd like to see what actually gets replaced with the CDI system - just to be sure that I have covered all bases

anyone know exactly what's in one of these kits ?

i have one sitting on my desk infront of me right now...

it doesnt replace anything at all. you get a little bronze coloured box and a wiring harness (i purchased the BNR32 specific harness). the harness intercepts the TPS wiring to get power, and the wiring between the stock transistor pack and the coils.

i can post pics when i get home from work where my camera is.

so

the std ingnitor (little silver thingy @ the back of the engine) is NOT get replaced

what about the std spark plug loom - does the new loom replace that or just plug into the existing one !!!

it provides BIGGER/FASTER spark - which is what my splitfire coils were supposed to be doing :(

all the stock looms and parts are still used.

Well guys

I think I have mode some progress here

I have moved the earth lead that comes off the ignitor pack.

I installed a grounding kit

I replaced my +ve and -ve battery terminals (with better quality units)

I did all this on Saturday (3 days ago) and so far - no more missfire

will let you know if it comes back

  • 2 weeks later...
still got good results ?

Well - funny you should ask

The car had been running fine - with NO missfire at all for the past couple of weeks

BUT

I had the guys at Mercury Motor sport do some work on the car early last week - and they removed the ignitor pack (to check the temp of my plugs) and when they put it back I suspect that they move the earth wire again

the up shot is that my missfire is now BACK !!!

I'll have a look at this again over the coming weekend and let you know if I fix it again :(

Where did you move the earth wire to?

Just to give you something else to think about...

On the datalogit forums there's a brief mention regarding the pfc's Ign dwell vs RPM values.

It was noted that at low rpm the pfc defaults are too great causing the coils to over heat and run a tad too warm.

At high rpm 'apparently' they need a little beefing up. Nothing conclusive but something to look at.

It was mentioned that the splitfire coils require slightly different values to that of the genuine nissan coils.

The bloke doing the testing measured the values with some special tool designed to measure dwell vs rpm.

Well something along those lines anyway. :(

I installed a new engine cover (the bit in the middle that covers the coil packs) - this allowed me to move the ignitor pack back up on top of the engine cover. I took that opportunity to make sure I had a good earth when I moved it (which I assume the guys from Mercury have not)

Prior to having the engine cover on - the coils and the ignitor pack shared the same earth - and I was just using one of the screw holes that holds the coil pack (plug) leads in place

I plan to make a dedicated earth strap over to the -ve battery terminal over the weekend - so I will let you know how that goes.

Any idea how I would check my Ignition/dwell/RPM settings – can I check this with just the HC - I do not have any 'special tools' :P

I do run Splitfire coils BTW

itbilmils,

Was this what fixed it or was the std earths (with a nice clean surface) with the cover on sufficient?

  • 2 weeks later...

mine does this now...

i might have to try to relocate the earth for the ignitor....

does this miss do any damage?? my knock is normally below 15 any way, and the miss fire only happens once in a week or so...it only happens at cruising speed, and very light throttle...

Yeah the night my power fc went in mine started doing this. it has a great tune with minimal knock every now and then when driving off boost and making the transition to decent load I get a missfire but thats it then it just revs normally.

Like I said doesn't happen often and has not got any worse in 3 years.

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
