just now i took mi skyline out for a drive, there was a red xr6 at the lights near mindarie custom exhaust next to me so i hav it some heavy gas, wen i floored it as soon as the car started to hit 4500 rpm it started to cut out and make a series of back fire noise and lost power so i slowed down and then tried it again and it did the same thing? does any one know wat it could b?

dunno havnt checked aye, just started it up again then and it doesnt hav a smooth idleing noise to it, it runs for about 10 seconds then it will sound deep for a second then go back up to a higher pitched idleing sound, if that makes sense haha!

hey heres an idea.... coil packs :wave:

Just have a look to see if any of them are unplugged. They will be under that cover in the middle of the engine. The one that says "nissan 2500" if one of them is unplugged it will do that.

Just grab a set of alan keys and pull the cover off to have a squizz. Dont worry its just cosmetic really, you wont break anything.

hmmm guys... i think im having the same problem as well but might be a little different.. when i go on low boost at 0.5bar the car runs kinda smooth but when i switch on to high boost at 0.7bar the whole car seems to be missfiring hell alot like after 5000rpm's in 2nd gear and 3rd gear after 4000rpm's and so on.. it just keeps missfiring non stop... i heard some ppl say that i may need a safc as it may be running too rich coz i can see blacksmoke coming out from exhaust when i floor it in high boost and missfires. some say the spark plugs may not be gapped properly.. some say my fuel pump... any of u guys experienced this problem before?

Cheers

coilpacks.. replace them with splitfire ones off nengun or perfectrun.com.. the standard nissan ones are like a grand to buy but these aftermarket better ones cost around 600 delivered get them i garentee will fix ur problems

Here's a list of issues that cause tis common problem.

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

Most probably your issue is a combo of running rich, which skylines do in the cold, and dodgy colial pack and/or spark plugs.

The good news is that your engine is most probably OK.

hmmm okie.. so a SAFC is not needed eh? cool.. i will go check the spark plugs first.. i will go back to the shop and ask them to regap it for me as i think if they did it wrongly they wont charge me :D u may think im a cheapskate but im only a student and only workin part time and dont even have a fmic :D

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
