Ok so I have had a slight problem with my car. AGAIN :)

Something happened which i dont want to state but my engine neally cooked.

Have replaced spark plugs, coil packs, ignitor and coil loom.

Was missing like a mofo before above was replaced.

Will idle perfectly fine. gets to about 1500 to 2500 and will miss in this range of RPM. This is under load by the way. Then it will be fine untill i either A: put my foot down and hit boost or B: run fine if i drive like a grandma through the gears.

So I ask you all as the SA guys know there shit with there RB's.

I need this problem fixed as i am really sick of having my car off the road.

The head is fine with perfect compression.

My mechanic who did the engine and manual conversion is stumped to find the problem.

I have no experience with these engines so please give your advice and let myself be happy for once.

LOL I mean honestly who pays 12k for repairs and still cant drive the fudging thing.

I really appreciate any advice left.

Remove the kick panel to expose the ECU, undo the screws holding the ECU to the chassis. Behind the ECU there is a screw/knob, with this you can run a rich/lean diagnositc check via your O2 sensor. I had similar miss firing problems with my car after doing the usuall coil packs, etc, etc only to find the O2 was stuff. If you can be bothered doing all of this first, simply dis-connect your O2 sensor and the ECU will default to a rich fuel map and see how the car runs.

Not like it's going to be much use, but make sure the boost level (if stock turbo) is under what it can push. The other circumstance is the fuel pump in which i had an issue with last year and had replaced. The only time it happens now is under cool temps in which the boost level increases slightly over that of the stock turbo (mechanical boost controller!!).

my car was missing quite badly, i have recently(this week) had the,

fuel pump replaced

oxygen sensor replaced

boost sensor replaced

spark plugs replaced

and these have stopped the missing, hope this can help

Cheers for the help boys.

The car is stock so no increase in boost levels.

I have been told it could be the fuel pump. And no I haven't even thought of making sure the injectors are clean. That could be the reason as I assume do to something screwing up it was flooding the engine with fuel and due to it missing it would read that more fuel was needed to keep up with something. The injectors and fuel pump will be looked at tomoz hopefully.

Dammmmmmm you repairs.

my car is all stock as well, it had a faulty boost sensor in it

i just sepnt $1500 on mine (i got a very good rate through a mate, i feel bad about how much they didn't charge me) and it still need an exhaust manifold stud replaced

best of luck with the repairs >_<

hey R32_4door_drifting ive sort of got the same problem with my car, wen i hit 5000-6000 rpm every now and again the car will pull back heaps hard, im thinking one of the injectors arent working wen full throttle and sum1 said my fuel pump but its highly unlikely. However it only happens like once every 30 times im in the 5000-7000 range and it lasts about a minute or 2. Theres this soundwave or something process and they can apparently clean ur injectors without pulling anythin apart, might have to give it a go.

p.s GL with the repairs man, dont worry my mate spent $13 on a 180sx and its still not running (cracked the oil sump and is missing gears 2nd and 4th, so things could be worse, lol.

fixed?

not yet, ive asked around and no-one really knows what it is, so i guess when i need my 5000k service i'll get a dyno and ecu check n all that shit at the same time. Will keep ya posted when i find out the cause.

my cars had 5 oil changes in 3 and a half weeks. its a spoilt little f**k.

EDIT:Oh and a new turbo. and all the missfirings gone from splitfire coilover installation.

when u say missfiring do u mean wen its idling??? or like mine wen i said it almost pulls back and feels like the revs just shit themselves.

Why so many?

Dont ya just hate it when your shocks misfires, but I hear the new platnium springs are pretty good :)

yeah sorry i was in 2 minds (my mate tempting me in coilover group buy on nissan silvia.com). i meant splitfire coil packs. can get them for 589 or somehting delivered from Slides or ~ 600 here in SA if you know a certain someone at autobahn.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
