check all your connectors from the coilpack out.

one could be dirty or corroded.

Maybe the CAS... but unlikely with your symptom... best case is to try someone elses CAS if you can...

erm... what else. Usual other stuff, clean AFM, new fuel filter

anything that might upset the fuel or spark is what you wanna chase

Plugs you say.

BCPR6E

They are a NGK V-groove 0.8mm gapped plug.

Thats the exact part number, don't go adding bits to it or changing it. They can be had from Motor traders/Coventrys for as little as $2.80 per plug. Buy else where and they might not have them and if they do you will be looking at $4.80 or something per plug.

Under full load/WOT... Have you checked your voltages? Maybe your Alt is on her merry way?

Has the motor been out of the car? Check all earths. Battery to chassis, battery to chassis to motor, all the little earth straps from the chassis to exhaust manifold, inlet manifold and head. Lots of little buggers around. Well there is on mine. ;)

OK So first thing

I read last night teh plug thing, and i was wondering what the differance is betweens i am running and the BCPR6E, i have also heard of BCPR6ES. I know NGK use to have a plug referance that told you what all the letter stood for, anyone have one? According to the NGK website the BKR6EYA are a direct replacemtn for iridiums that the car is suppose to have.???????

So i will try some of these plugs and see how it goes?

Injectors and clean, as best as i can tell, i checked all of trhem, flow almost all thesame, but i might try some good injector clener, what do you recomend?

I will do a log of the Voltages on teh way home, but as far as i know the alternator is ok, it never runs flat, voltage is 14.2 running, new battery, all seams ok, but will check it, Thanks.

The motor has not been out of the car, but i am not sure if all the earth are connected, as i don't know wher they all should be, will do some research.

In regards to R&R, no issues there, i can pull 13 psi before anythign flattens out, it's like a revlimmiter, not a cut out as such.

Going to do some more researching today.

Was told that a faulty CAS will do this aswell, can somone confirm and tell me what to look out for?

Do the R33 need a different spark plug????

DAM IT???

Funny thing is the problme was not there when car was STOCk it gradualy got worse the more mods i put onto the car. HUMMM...

May sound silly but are you sure you dont have a washer or something in the coilpack bay? I only ask coz thats what happened to me. After months of gapping and silicon, all it was, was a 2mm washer hiding in the well of cylinder 3

Will check it out, but i don't think there is anythign in there to ark out agains. What can i do to see if it is not an injector fault as per this post

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=129897&hl=

Also is there anyway i can tell if it is just an individual coil doing it.

The thing is if it is an injector or something, would gapping the plugs down fix this?

The BK plugs are essentially the same as the BC plugs just a touch shorter.

so what are all the EYA things for, i know 6 is heat range and so forth, but the rest. DO you think it is benificial to get the BCPR6E or stick with mine and go down to 0.7mm gap

How can i gignose a faulty CAS?

How do i dignose if an injector is faulty?

Other then that, the car is sooo much better, pulls nice, smooth idle, me like.

thanks budy, much appriciated.

I have gone through the maintnace manual and am going to perform all the test to see what i come up with, susspition is down to CAS or injector, or bad earth. LOL, there is a lot of OR's

Maybe you have a hairline crack in the ceramic of one of the plugs?

I done this once when I used a swivel to replace the plug under the cross over pipe. I had the plugs in and out 3-4 times and only saw the crack on the last. Drove me insane trying to track down the slight miss around 5500rpm that would then clear up and pull well to 7000rpm.

So check them all very carefully. :)

Gap to 0.8mm and then try to get to the bottom of what the 'real' cause of your misfire is.

The boost levels your running you should be able to run a 0.8 gap.

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
