R33 Series 2, GTS-T Manual, stock apaprt from turbo back exhaust & k&n POD filter

ok, still hesitating/surging after 4500rpm, cant work out what it is, so far the following has been replaced (not neccisarily to fix this problem)

fuel pump, plugs, coil packs, fuel filter, timing belt, water pump, k&n filter, clutch, injectors cleaned, serviced, turbo back exhaust

it went on the dyno yesty and it showed no change in the air/fuel mixtures when it was surging,

so is it coil pack igniter module thingy? timing? ?????????

what heat range plugs?

what gaps?

coil packs new?

you haven't mentioned anything about the AFM.

i know the plugs are platinum ones, the gaps are right and the coil packs are new (splitfire)

i thought if the air flow meter was playing up it would of shown a change in the air/fuel mixtures when it was surging???

get rid of the platinum plugs. they are terrible.

get coppers (part number bcpr6es) or iridiums. if you get iridiums make sure they are gapped to 0.8mm and heat range 6.

ok they may be crap, but could they be actually causing the problem? especially this noticable.

slose gapped plugs shouldnt be required if you got new splitfire coils, should have ample spark to jump even the stock 1.1mm gap... look elsewhere for your problem, disconnect each coill pack via the plug and reconnect n go through the list as its running to varify which cylinder has the miss and work from there

I agree, its not like your running monster boost or anything. I would have thought stock gap would be fine, but if it isn't, mabye becuase of your exhaust, then I wouldn't really think that you'd need anything smaller than .08mm.

Hey guys

Just throwing this out there but could it be something to do with the CAS??

Yes, i was getting a bad miss on mine, tried a few things like coil packs, AFM, spark plugs, etc....

Got a CAS from another skyline and put it on mine, miss was gone. Grabbed a 2nd hand CAS and threw it on.

hi just throwing it out there.

i read on boostcruising that all skylines that rev towards the 5k range or reach the 10psi reigon suffer from flat spots. what they did was install a apexi safc, and it works perfectly now.

just throwing it out there. good luk

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
