we just got the R34 GTT and on inspection before buying it had a slight miss which she then took it away and put some fresh set of plugs in (unknown brand or gap). the mechanic who did the work for her said plug no.4 was rich and had carbon deposits... all 6 wer supposively replaced.

it was better but could still feel a slight miss up high. it gradually got worst till today driving around it wouldnt rev over 4500rpm.. just occasionally. and another time u can hear it miss on idle and at 3000rpm onto the highway. (it used to rev through fine without load. but when loaded it will miss now it misses all the time..?)

now im guessing its to do with the plugs.. wrong gap. bad plugs..

coil packs. i understand coil packs do this often.

AFM or sensor. (O2 sensor)

Fuel related (blocked filter)

any other suggestions wher i should go hunting..?

thanks for all ur help in advanced.

car is tiptronic '99 model with <50,000kms and cat back exhast and pod. (is my brothers car and he likes the pod and noise. personally i think the airbox is adequate) :D

thanks

mark.

Dam mate, there are so many topics on this,

FIRST, get a set of new copper plugs, i have an R33 and run BKR6EYA, the others don't work for shit in my car.

Gap these to 0.8mm

I have just finished with my car, and still having problems.

It is also most likely a weak coil, and if you do a search on " how to cure missfire"

sorry but that's my contribution. i just got back from the garage so time for bed.

recommend using the silicon and basting them in it?

i guess it couldnt hurt to try it..

also is it not recommended to mix and match just replace the coil pack that is rooted.?

i also have a feeling it will be No.4 thats worst off due to the carbon build up on the plug.. will check them this weekend and post up.

thanks

mark.

ok

pulled them out 2 nights ago upon inspection none had vissible signs of cracks or marks.. so i decided to bast them with silicon 401 as a DIY thread suggested. waited a night and put them in.

started it up warmed her a bit. and took her for a drive still had miss. but it was more upwards of 6000rpm.. had more lower down torque. but still wasnt fully driveable.

parked it in the driveway.. gave it a free rev held it at 4k to see if it would splutter. and it didnt. then took it for a drive again and it was better. came back. decided that i would try to cool the intake temps to limit chances of detonation.. so i threw some cold water on the SMIC and took her for a drive. revs fine all the way to 5500 and cough and then to redline..

after a while it ended up fixing itself..

now my guess is the ECU adjusted itself a littlebit as it went on. or due to lower air temps ther was less pinging and it helped out. thus cleaning out any hot spot carbon deposits from the head leaving it clean..

sound right..?

so all in all. cost me $13.45 from true value and a cup of water. better than $600 splitfires. hope it doesnt come back.. :D

Good to hear its fixed, the factory computer doesn't have any self learning, and i cant see how a cup of water will do anything. Its still possibly the cat converter, sometimes they lodge and dislodge themself, blocking and unblocking the exhaust. Has it had a fuel filter done?

brand new cat 1000-3000kms old..? exhast is 1000-3000kms old soo. i dnt knw.

i still think lowering the intake temps with the water kept it cool and allowed itself to clean the engine of the excess carbon hot spots..

either way. problem fixed.

+1 for SAU DIY THREADS :happy:

+1 for SAU DIY THREADS :(

Yup!! Got my new sparkies, and wondered where the hell they go in the RB25det, LOL! :(

Good ol DIY FAQ threads showed me the step by step procedure, and also the Silicone 101 trick, trying it all out tonight / tomorrow (dont have miss, but dont want a miss fire to develop when next tuned at 1bar)

OK - took the day off today to have a nice 4day weekend, why not, lol.

Changed the sparkies from 1.1s nonamebrand to ngk copper BCPR6E pregapped to .8mm - knee has blown up like a watermelon tho, lol, damn you kneecap-less kee :) Its hard being over 2m tall with sore back/knees bending and undoing stuff-knows what to get at the sparkies :(

Used the 401 industrial silicone sealer on the 2 longest sides of the coil packs (S2 rb25det) - query is should I put silicon over the two ends, one end is black plastic the other is see-thru plastic where you can see the electrical mumbojumbo stuff behind. Or should I then wind all the way around some good electrical tape (so its got the seams sealed with silicon and the ends wrapped in tape)?

:P

i put it on everywher that is black apart from the tube and the metal mounting points.. even though i saw no cracks prob should seal it anyway. just seal the sides that is to sit near the block as it will try to arc out thru the crack to the head. :)

ok..

i havent driven it but i was told it was still ther.

my brother started it warmed her up and she started to miss..

any idea?

shes still running the same copper plugs that the old owner put in.. 500>KMS ago.

ive sealed coils. and it worked fine for a day.. what is it now?

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
