It could have been detonating when it is hot.

My other tip would be coil packs on their way out and got hot.

My S15 did this for a while and it turned out to be dirty spark plugs. Mechanic was sure it was coil packs but turned out it wasn't.

I would strongly suggest chucking it on a dyno to find out what is going on asap as you could blow it up quick smart if you don't.

I have trouble in the colder weather with overboosting on the standard solenoid boost control once over 5000 rpm, when it boosts too high it's does the rich & retard trick & it backfires due to overfueling too. I the hot stuff when it's warmer it's ok. I didn't have an issue until my exhaust system was fitted. Going to be getting an EBC soon

i had the same issues mate, i bought my car stock with 3 inch cat back and K&N filter, i had misfiring or detonation (more likely det) at higher rev range with the turbo being boosted to 9psi. it was fine at 7 but hated 9. So I changed all the spark plugs and that helped alot, also. I heard that you need to gap your spark plugs to .6 or something like that to increase the spark for higher boost. im going to try that next along with a splitfire coil pack system from the group buys here next week.

mind u today I have got my 3 inch dump pipe, hi flow cat and screamer pipe fitted, that might increase my back firing ill have to see when it happens, it back fires randomly at the moment after around 10 mins of drivin around when the exhaust gets hotter.

    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
