it's actually a computer virus I have written for the PFC - that is spread by reading this tread :P

you bastood.

some more info if it helps.

I'm running a BCNR33 RB26 PFC in my BNR32 GTR. It's firmware is version 8.04a (latest firmware) and is not reflashed. It was tuned by PC (using datalogit from memory). running with O2 feedback on (and at least 1 faulty sensor, the other one i'm not 100% if faulty or not).

tune is excellent. car is currently making 270kw atw with 1 bar boost. also running splitfires coils, and NGK copper plugs (BCPR7ES gapped at 0.8mm).

I have my O2 sensors off - also have ~270atw with splitfires and copper plugs

same firmware

I pulled mine apart on sunday to have a look. Mine had a ground wire which was screwed onto the top of the transistor (ignitor pack thingy). the ground wire is connected to somewhere I cant really see as it was wrapped in a cable sheild with some other wires (but I believe its connected to the negative side of the battery. I just cleaned off the rust of the screw and the wire connector and since then i have had no missfires. Before this the missing happened at least once a day sometimes 2 or 3 times. But will have to see if it does it over a few more days.

i have had this problem too, ive located it to a faulty tps switch, it drops out and gives flat spots just on low throttle. very very intermittent.

btw 60 knock is regared as an "event" 20-40 is acceptable i believe. ive never seen more than 40 and only on decel, never on acceleration.

so - a new tps ?

Its like a curse., F%$K Y&^...noticed it the last couple of days on low RPM cruising along.

Why did I look for it.?????...could have had the stereo vibrating the car and would have never noticed.

My cover is off ,,,I have a PFC, Splitfire coils and the ignitor pack is not attached to anything.

Some-one please post up a quick fix with some wiring info......I have nowhere to fix it to.

If you don't I will put a Hex on all your cars :ninja::dry::D

OK Then....here is a quick mod. I have completed today to see if it stops the missing.

One fixed point........the other a cable tieing up 2 other points and fixing to another point.

The wire is thick on the second....and no movement at all.

So far tonight had no missing.......infact car is running smoother. :P

If it happens again...I will replace tps.

Did a simular thing to my R32 GTR recently. Ran a ground directly from battery negative to transistor module. From transistor module to both rear and front coil pack mounting bolts. Also cleaned paint off mounting pads for transistor module. To date, no missfire. Blooody unreal, all sorted. :sorcerer:

Had the same problem with mine. Checked the earth on both the ignitor and the coil packs and found both had loose connectors. Soldered the connector to the wires and misfire has gone. Also problem only occurred once i took the cam cover off.

I get this misfire once a month on average. It feels ike the engine just skips a beat, I thought the timing belt was slipping the first time I felt it :)

My recent re-tune brought my knock level right down. At start up it jumps up to 80, but once I reset it and drive, even with a cold engine I rarely see knock over 18 now.

HI THERE. MY R32 GTR HAS THIS DAM APEXI MISFIRE ALSO. WHAT I HAVE NOTICED AFTER HAVING THREE SETS OF O2 SENSORS INSTALED THAT ONE OF THEM WILL ALWAYS SHOW THAT IT READING JUST ABOUT ZERO IF NOT ZERO VOLTS WHEN THE CAR IS WARM OR HOT, FROM DEAD COLD START YOUR CAR AND HAVE A LOOK AT YOUR HAND CONTROLER AND KEEP AN EYE ON THE O2 SENSOR VOLTAGE WITH BOTH OF THEM TURNED ON AND SEE IF THE NUMBER TWO O2 SENSOR STARTS TO LOOSE VOLTAGE AS THE CAR WARMS UP. WITH MINE IT IS ALWAYS THE NUMBER TWO O2 SENSOR ON THE HAND CONTROLER. THE NUMBER TWO O2 SENSOR ITSELF IS IN THE POSITION CLOSEST TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR.

I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE MISFIRE IS THERE WITH THE O2"S TURNED ON OR OFF. I HAVE HAD MY CAR TUNED BY 4 DIFFERENT TUNERS TO TRY TO GET RID OF THIS MISFIRE AND NO LUCK. CAR RUNS A NICE POWER OF 384.4 HP AT THE WHEELS.SOME SAY THAT THE APEXI IS THE WAY TO GO BUT FOR MOST OF US WITH R32 GTR,S. ALL THE BEST

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
