Hey guys, currently got a problem with my r33 gtst.

It is missing when it is under load. If u rev it when the car is stationary it will not miss if you gradually build the revs up. But if you rev it once then go at it again before the revs come back down it will miss.

It misses when you are driving aswell if you start to put the foot into it. The car also blows out a puff of black smoke when it misses.

Its not the coil packs and its not my inlet piping (cant find a leak).

Has anyone got any ideas as to what it could be?

Im think maybe i should change my plugs anyway but im doubting it would be the problem.

Thanks, Mike.

Hey guys, i changed the plugs today and it made no difference at all. My AFM is only like 6 months old and has been used stuff all so i dont think that it is that. Is it possible to be the o2 sensor?

Anyone else got any ideas?

Thanks, Mike

02 Sensors only "Trim" your fuel mixture.

I would be inclinded to be looking at the Ignition system (black smoke indicating unburnt/rich fuel). But thats not to say its not an injector problem. Biggest thing is to test things when you can replicate the problem - hence the use of dyno's for diagnosis. Its one of those things - to the untrained eye you could spend a long time looking for it.

it started missing after i completed a whole heap of work. ive had stuffed coil packs before and i know the symptoms of them.

car should be going on the dyno sometime this week but i kinda wanted to get rid of the miss before the dyno.

Thanks, Mike

hey guys do u think my problem could be my TPS?

No!!! 99.999999% of the time a missfire will be due to a bad plug (wrong heat range, incorect gap, cracked insulator) or a bad coil (cracked coil boots, foreign particles around plugs/boots and or excessive oil or the coil itself). Also overly retard ignition can casue missfires along with about a thousand other things - check the basics first always!!!!

Can somebody please do a missfire check list and wirte it into a sticky - I swear we see this post every week.

I have similar problem my car falls into a very big hole at full throttle over 4000rpm. I did also have a misfire but a dodgey coil pack was the cause of that. i have exchanged igniter module with a new one still no luck my next step is AFM. if no luck im getting an aftermarket ecu and split fire coils and hope like hell it fixes itself

hey guys 99% sure its not my plugs or coil packs. It misses at any RPM. Ive changed my plugs and gapped them at 26 thou.

Also my injectors are only a couple of months old and were working a few weeks ago, so they should be fine.

I will check the CAS and timing though.

Thanks, Mike

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
