Well the plot thickens with this car... Driving today and it started misfiring and losing mass power, not just misfiring on one cylinder but totally dropping 1-2k rpm before giving me a few more splutters then dropping power again. Nursed it home (problems seem related to heat/load).

At this point I was thinking bad plugs/coil pack(s) or fuel pump perhaps. Got home let it cool down and and removed the coil cover and found that the car has Split Fire coils and NGK Iriway plugs, plugs seemed in good condition, no carbon build up, nothing cracked/broken etc etc.

So Im thinking, could it be the ignition module (Took this out of the car and cooled it down and drove again with no issues til everything was hot again) Or something timing related? (whatever it is related to heat/load for sure) or as mentioned, a fuel pump issue?

Here's some pics to help.

The Impul unit does not have diagnostic LED's on it at all =\ I took it apart completely and took soem photos of the EPROM if that's of any use.

hey would say it is the coil packs are breaking down when they get hot so they would only run on a few cils. Happen to mine yesterday, soon as i let it cool down. start it again and runs fine untill it gets hot again am getting new coil packs that will fix my problem could be the same as mine :P

Tacho just starts dropping as if the engine has stalled then fires a few more times so if I was at say 3k rpm I'd get nothing from the engine for another 2k rpm then it would fire a few more times etc. If I clutch in and let it try and idle it'll bounce between like 20 and 1100rpm lik it only just fires in time to keep the engine running. It's not a hunt though like the famous AAC Valve issue on GTS25T's it simply just doesn't fire.

Any idea what an ignition module is worth?

I think i might possibly have the only R33 GTR around this area =D There 'might' be one more but I don't know the guy. There's a really good mechanic out of town who apparently races GTR's I'm trying to get in touch with him for some assistance. Might get the car into tuning shop or Nissan tomorrow to see if they can give me an error code.

Dude get this hting checked i had this issue last week and im running big power. my CAS was on its way out, and its f**king scary when your pride joy and big parts of you savings start to sputter and drop revs. i looked like a coil related problem but when i swapped my coild to a mate's RB 26 they fires correctly, after that i tried my ignitor, same agian, bu when i checked my CAS it was shot. it didnt give the correct signal, have it checked before smth worse happens

The one stuck to the side of the radiator? Will try it but my car is totoally not firing for a few thousand RPM before it will fire again, it's not just missing on one.

Trying another Ignition module tonight.

Fingers Crossed.

I had a similiar problem until I got my timing belt replaced and done 100,000km service to replace all the platinum plugs with new ones and got new coils, plus had the fuel rails cleaned.

If your in Vic Garry Rogers Nissan in Glen Waverly still service GTR's and they work on my r33 for stock stuff.

I have some new plugs on the way - I have split fire coils and I have access to some new coils I can try out. Will try that if the ignition module doesn't work.

When your timing belt was changed was the CAS touched?

Cheers

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
