since i got my new car last week, i havnt really had a chance to give it a good run till tonight.

I noticed that there is a missfire/flat spot high in the rev range between 5350ish to 6200 rpm then kicks back in at full tilt. this is 2nd and 3rd. its like a surging feeling... power stops, slowly builds revs then bang back with full power. also after this i noticed it miss firing under all load right thru the rev range under load (10 & 12psi)

did a search and found some things about the coils and spark plugs but not sure if it all applies to a S1 rb25.

mods are fmic, full 3", duel stage boost, kn panel, fuel pump and heavy duty clutch.

I have a S-AFC to install yet. would this be able to point out the problem? or maybe a tune via this could fix?

car was supposedly tuned before and made high 190rwkws... my old one made 193 and this feels a lill faster untill this happens

any thoughts guys?

Get the safc tuned- should fix it up. Other wise, here's my standard reply...

Are the plugs in properly? - reseat.

Are the plugs the correct heat range? - std is 5. 6 and 7 should also be ok.

Are the plugs gapped to 0.8mm - std plugs are 1.1mm, regapped to 0.8mm makes a sturdier spark.

Are your coil packs old and fcuked? - epoxy old ones or get new ones.

It could be running rich. - ECU adds more fuel than fuel needed running more boost. This can cause misfire. - Need aftermarket ECU or piggy back cumputer and tune.

It could be running lean. -fuel pump not supplying enough fuel to the engine, causing it to ping and the ecu hears this by microphones and cuts/retards the ignition. - need a fuel pump, common in early 33's

Hmm i got exactly the same problem on my rb20, at the same rev ranges. Had an assessment done, was told my pump was fugged and filter fugged, replaced filter and that made it worse, so im pretty sure its pump.. Became more noticeable after FMIC install, which would lead me to believe it was packs. Sucks that theres no easy way to figure out which it is.. When i get a spare 4 or 5 hours ill have to voltage check my coil packs i spose

I replaced my coilpacks with some low-k used ones, problem solved.

See the huge thread on repairing coilpacks to try and resolve this issue, otherwise, replace coilpacks with used or brand new splitfires. =-]

sounds like the stock ECU to me

happens to all of them.

If not, then fuel filter, coil packs, fuel pump... the list gets veeery long :domokun:

arrgh dont say that! lol... my other 33 had a link ecu(useless pos) already installed so i never had to go thru that, will know tomorrow... hope this safc2 is a good as i hear :

mine was just like, carr drriivveE....hit massive boost, then it just feels like something snaps, power dies, picks up again. over..and over...and over

same here. get onto boost and then it feels like someone has turned the key off, then it comes back, starts lighting the tyres up, dies again.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
