Hi,

I own a GTST series 2 R33 and just about 2 days ago i have noticed that in second my car is missing in the higher RPM range. first, third and forth is fine just second. I had the car tuned up only about 2 months ago.

Any ideas?

Cheers

adam

a number of factors can effect it, bascalyl it isnt getting as stronger spark all the time thats why it misses at high rpm.

If hte plugs are old or u dont know when they wher echanged get soem NGK copepr plugs they are cheap, u can get ones that are already gapped to 0.8 , if u do a search they u can find the part code.

I remember u dont wanna buy the plus with -11 after the number becasue that indicates a 1.1ml gap.

Dodgy/old /cracked coils will also casue a miss fire.

And its normal for it to only do it in one gear? sorry bout all the questions

oi adz, take out ur spark plugs and check them, might be old/dirty or they might be new and ungapped. gap them to 0.8mm and that should do it. if u got cracks in ur coils look in the DIY section for a temporary fix, then save up for splitfires.

curently mine only does it in second after putting in plugs that i have not gapped down. So yes it can do it in certain gears as the load is different depending at what gear u in at WOT

So i guess first thing to do is remove the cover and check the coil packs. then if they look fine remove and check the gap on all the spark plugs? then gap them to 0.8? right???

:(:O

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
