recently i have brought a R33 Gtst, last night i was out giving it some shit when suddenly it started poping at high rev range and not reving out. i read about similar problems on this site and have changed pugs, checked coil packs, check hoses and intercoller sleaves. nothing has solved the problem was thinking it may be turbo related? and help would be very appreciated!

Mods include

dump pipe

3" zorst

fmic

safc (not tuned)

9 psi

Apexi pod

it could be, but safc has been in for a while and all things have been fine, could it be air flow sensor? i didnt see any cracks in coil packs but should i have tapped them anyways?

there is a bagillion threads on this

my brothers skyline did this

my skyline did this

coilpacks both looked fine, but replaced with the spitfires and the problem has 100% gone.

swap coilpacks with someone of same car / coilpack types

or just buy new ones

there is a cheaper option of running your external DIY mismatch of ignition system, thread here somewhere

edit: if you dont know someone with same coil packs, what you can do is drop the gap on your plugs. bring em down a good few tenths of mm. say from 1.0mm to 0.5mm. if this improves the misfire situation, then you know you have weak ignition. it may 'fix' the problem, but if you crank up the boost you will run into the same troubles

also a pro of getting spitfire coilpacks, i got my fuel economy from 13L to 11L. they'll be making me money soon! (2 years haha)

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
