Ok so over the weekend i installed a FMIC. and had a few flat spots, ect, trimed up the SAFC II and redid the timing, and all good, no problems, car ran fine.

I got a flat batery, i forgot to turn my lights off, so the computer reset itself. Eitherway, after a charge the batery went back in and the car ran fine, but i did not thrash it as recomended after an ECU reset, as i was driving on the highway with my family.

So the car just ran, and seamed fine. I gave the car a gut full a few times on the highway and no problems no missing, nothing.

So this morning, going to work, gave the car a boot full, and i got missing at 4500rpm to 5500rpm, and then nothing and pulled fine all the way to 7000rpm, i made sure that it wasn't a once off, and definatly not. Seamed to happen constantly. Tried to fiddle with the SAFC II, but it all seamed thesame.

SO i already have the sparks set to.8mm and retaped up. I tried to do my idle and timing but, for some reason i can not get the idle to drop below 900 rpm with the TP off as the manual sugests, which means a littel unsure about timing seting.

The car is runing 8-9 pis boost, FMIC, 3' exhaust turbo back, hks pod and intake. New fuel pump, new 02 sensor and ecu temp sensor. and Adjustable fuel pressure reg ect.

The symptoms seams a lot worse when the car is cold, and only occur under 100% throtle. If i am off the throtle a bit 80% it does not miss. Once above 5500rpm no missing, pulls fine all the way to the top.

The only thing i am thinking of is the coils and plugs again and the computer reset. I am also goignto chech for leaks and clean my AAC valve.

Help with any advice, i realy love my car, but am becoming a little dishartened about all the little nigles that happen once you start to play with it.

HELP, please anyone.

ALSO>>>>>>>> how do i check for vacume leaks and exhaust leaks, best way that is.

my Air Flow Meter is the original one 72K on the clock. I had cleaned it ect some time ago, and it looks very good.

I still have standard coils and coperhead plugs gapped to .8mm, and i am preadty sure it's my coils, i rad the big post after i did some more searching. I i am going to get some hi grade hi temp silicon and silicon up the coils to see if teh problem goes away. if not, something else is amiss.

yeah i had already previously taped up my coils for luck, just to make sure, but the problem is back, it missed when i first got the car, now it does it again.

So tonight i am goign to get some silicon and silicon the bastards up.

Does anyone know if this trick would work on a series 2 without an igniter pack.

Is it an R34? I had the same issue and tried regapping plugs and taping coils, in the end I had to get splitfires to solve the problem. About the cheapest you can get them is $550~ delivered from Japan.

I'm sure if all the R34 owners on here that've upgraded to splitfires pooled their old coilpacks we'd have about 50 that still worked fine... it's just a bitch taking them in and out to find out which are the faulty ones.

unfortunalty mate shes an R33, and i have my cover off so it's preaty easy. I am looking at doing a wasted spark setup, but at the moment, no money, need a temporary fix as i drive the car every day.

SO i'm going to silicon them up, well and see how it goes from there.

make sure you check for cracks between the coil packs and the rubber bit that covers the spark plug.

Out of my 6 coils i found a crack in 2 of them, and thats where i found all the cracks, good luck

Well did it all last night, used heaps of silicone, no plastic showing, non what so ever, and still misfire. only at 4500 and 5500 rpm.

ONLY small though. I think it might be ritch and retard, as when cold at 6 am the car is boosting to 10psi and when warm only to 8.5 psi.

And when warm the car runs fine, no probs.

I am going to setup a wasted spark ignition system, went to see the boys at Automotive solutions, and boy are they handy, got all the peaces priced with custom cut lenght leads, a total of $150 but i still need a cheep igniter.

DAM IT.

WHAT ELSE CAN I TRY???

i will regap to .7mm if missfire disapears, definatly coils, if not R&R

Edited by WogsRus

it miht be a loose connector on the ptu (little black box on top of com covers at rear that sends power to the coils)

at that rpm you might be getting a harmonic that is causing a loose contact to dislodge in the ptu

worth a try...

nope not tuned properly yet, going in on tusday. The weird thing is i do not understand why missfire ONLY when cold.

It's hard to dignose as i can only show somone when it DAM cold. LOL

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
