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

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
