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. =-]

hope this fixes the prob...

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.

problem solved!!! nova performance newcastle did the install and tune today, cars running much better now and faster :)

just noticed under load there is no knock reading but reads upto 2-5 at idle after a squirt... is this normal??

other than that its like driving a new car :yes:

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
