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

    • You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?
    • Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership
    • And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.
    • No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.
    • Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
