Does it do it more when the car is warm? under load? If so it probably is an ignition problem.

Check your plugs and gaps first mate, throw in some new ones gapped to 0.7 to see if it improves. Im having the same problem at the moment the new plugs have improved the car but its still missing at times so I just ordered a set of splitfire coils from nengun like 5 minuets ago.

Whilst you are re-gapping your spark plugs, check the coil packs for cracks and scortch marks!!!!

Could be the airflow metre as well I think? Sounds reminiscent of my AFM problems from my R32. Can you check the error codes on an R33?

With my r32 you would just be driving along and all of a sudden it'd cough and splutter and lose all power for about 10seconds, then she'd continue on like nothing happened. Whacked another afm in and it was fixed.

the black smoke n bad idle usually caused by afm ....

go to any of ur mates that have a late model r32 or a r33 swap it wif deres to see if dats da prob if not replace sparks with even .8 gapped running onli stock 7 psi n see if dats ok n then work your way up with coils... the more u move away from stock the more hassles u get if sumthings wrong

good to take everything back to standard to find the prob :)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
