Hi,

Hello to all that remember me. It’s been a while... I hope someone local can help me out?

To cut a long story short, I have sold my GTR (pending issue is resolved) but I have been getting ignition problems at high boost for quite a while now. I was showing a customer my car and was getting these boost issues and he had a spare set of ignition coils and a wiring loom from a R33 GTR.... so we changed it over and the same issue was still present. So we changed the igniter pack also but could not get the car started. Turns out that the igniter pack was from a GTS-T and the earth pins are in different locations. So, my igniter pack is now well and truly stuffed cos I can’t get spark from #4 at all and have tried two sets of wiring looms and coil packs all with the same issue.

I have located a spare igniter pack in NSW from just jap for $200. Nissan want close to $800. Does anyone local have a spare one sitting in their garage? I will collect and pay today if anyone can help me out.

Sorry to jump on the forum again only to ask for such things, but its the best tool available to me.

I have also posted in the Forced Induction section.

See ya,

from itbmills;

I installed a new engine cover (the bit in the middle that covers the coil packs) - this allowed me to move the ignitor pack back up on top of the engine cover. I took that opportunity to make sure I had a good earth when I moved it (which I assume the guys from Mercury have not) Prior to having the engine cover on - the coils and the ignitor pack shared the same earth - and I was just using one of the screw holes that holds the coil pack (plug) leads in place I plan to make a dedicated earth strap over to the -ve battery terminal over the weekend

The user reports that "New earth for the ignitor pack fixes it"

Thanks Scott

Hi Bec, James and Paul.

It's a shame the line needs to go... woman’s hard word and just the general running costs of such a car have all caught up with me. I can no longer live in fantasy land and expect to run a GTR as a daily driver without forking out huge amounts of cash in regular intervals, those intervals just seem to be getting closer and closer every time + I have been pulled over 4 times in the last 2 months - no traffic infringements for any them just the usual bum rush and fines associated. So I decided to let it go and might get another later this year just as a weekender... got my eye on a nice one on J-Spec... but that will most probably go by the time I'm ready for another.

Good times had with you guys, shame I did not get back into the SAU thing once my car was back on the road. Melbourne GP Autosalon was a drunken haze for at least 2 of the 4 days I was there. Great event and people to be with, still have not got any shots of me with the models when I was passed out in my car... beginning to think it was all just a rumour (that’s what I'm telling myself)

Suppose this might be a goodbye post to a certain extent... so, I will take this opportunity to thank all that have helped me out over the years as I got this car with 0 that’s zero experience in regards to Skylines or GTR's (never even been for a drive in one) but the day mine landed in Oz I was almost ready for the experience as if I had owned one before. Anyway, three years later I now can pull apart most of my car and put it back together again, drive a whole lot better and unfortunately also know most of the VIC roads by laws and EPA requirements inside out.

Regards,

Robin

Turns out that I have fried my Power FC (long story) and thats why I'm not getting any spark to #4. I have replaced it with my original (re-mapped) unit that I still had in my garage and it's running sweet :happy: - probably not making 370kw at the wheels anymore but its running on all 6.

I now have a GTR igniter pack that I do not need that I paid $190.00 for if anyone wants one. I will sell for $100

I know this will get moved - saves me staring a new thread in the for sale section. Please change headding to "GTR Igniter Pack for Sale"

Robin make sure you come to the glenny meet today. dinner at sophia's... like down the road from your place... no excuses... if you don't have a car... walk :happy: (check events section for details)

off topic but i fried my PFC and fixed it, so it might be re-pairable

How and did you do it yourself? Is it an easy fix?

It seems that putting in the GTS-T igniter pack done the damage... but seriously, now I have the standard re-mapped ECU in I have also fixed the misfire problem cos I can rev all the way under load to 8900rpm without a problem. Where before with the PFC as sson as I hit about 6000rpm it started missing and overboosting... probably not making as much power now but at least I can use all the REVs.

Cars back up for sale as this dude is asking for a new PFC and dyno run when he contributed to the F8ck up and pushing on the sale price so I told him my final offer as is or $xx,xxx with the new ECU and dyno run to confirm last results of 367rwkw. And he has said no...

wiring loom experiment gone wrong, shorted out one of the contacts

it resulted in a burnt track on the fc board, just resoldered some wire on to it make it contact again and it worked fine, even the tune was still present

the board was phsyically burnt and smelt real bad

I will get a friend of mine to have a look tonight, but I would not have a clue about electronics and what not... He is pretty good with that sort of stuff.

Paul.... have you come across PFC misfire issues such as I described above? I was always thinking it was my ignition coils but the seem fine now?

Robin make sure you come to the glenny meet today. dinner at sophia's... like down the road from your place... no excuses... if you don't have a car... walk :happy: (check events section for details)

Will try to get there... was meant to go down the beach tonight after work with friends

have a read of

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
