hi all. my 33gtr runs about 600 bhp @ the fly. last weekend whilst on silverstone curcuit/uk i had a bad misfire issue. came off track and removed plugs and coilpacks.. 4 were white in colour two where black. so hence the misfire. noticed the coilpacks were red hot, i still have my plug cover fitted as i have a vented bonnet and water is an issue in the uk. anyway let the coilpacks cool fitted them back on and cleaned the two plugs up with a cloth. did not fit the coilpack cover and went out for 2 more sessions no more problems.great. but i would like to run with my cover fitted is this impossible or do i just have a couple of faulty packs. cheers bernie.. p.s. temp outside was about 25 deg on the day.. each session lasts 20 mins and silverstone is 3.3 miles a lap..

Coils are the "usual suspects" when diagnosing misfires, however, check the ignitor module as a culprit of hot temp misfires.

Also worth checking the condition of the coil pack harness - particularly the connectors and the earthing lug.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
