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

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
