Rb25det Missfiring


Recommended Posts

Hey guys my car is missfiring from idle & all through the rev range, no smoke coming from the exhaust so no engine failure i'm hoping.

Yesterday this happened & after a couple of start ups & holding the revs at around 4000rpm the missfiring went away & it drove home fine on the highway & for around an hour. This morning when i started her up she is coughing up the same but no sign of going away this time. It is pretty much running on 4 cylinders or 5 maybe i'm no mechanic.

I thought it may have been a bad bit of fuel but no such luck it seems, i'm thinking it maybe my Splitfire coilpacks, they've been on the car for around 4years now, car was last tuned in august last year & has run great as normal until just now.

I will be taking it to my tuner hopefully this week & getting it sorted but i thought i'd ask some of you gurus & get an idea what it maybe.

These are my mods

Highflow turbo

Injectors

Coilpacks

Link ECU

Platinum Plugs

& All the usual support gear.

Thanks guys

take off the coil pack cover and replace all the other parts so the car will run. Carefully remove the coil pack plugs one by one and plug it back in. The one that doesn't change is the cylinder that is misfiring. Now you've done step one, you need to determine whether it's cylinder, spark or injector.

if u say there's no smoke coming from the exhaust then i'd start with the missing cylinder having no fuel. cause if it was misfiring but the injector for that cylinder was still working then it would have unburnt fuel in the exhaust and make black smoke. easiest way: determine which cylinder/s are dead check for spark condition of plug and coilpack, check for injector working by putting a screwdriver onto injector and putting your ear on it and listen for it pulsing. sometimes disconnecting the injector will make it run better but this is only if the injector is leaking too much fuel. failing that try a good old compression test

    • Came across these Ganador reps and am wondering if anyone has used these/come across these ?  Seem to look like reasonably good replicas (shape wise) from what I can see. Ive been told by them that they are moulded to be exact copies of original Ganadors (but thats what every replica version will say) https://www.shiftperformance.com.au/ganador-style-mirrors-suits-nissan-skyline-r33-gtr Photos of them installed appreciated Thanks 👍
    • lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.    
    • Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno. 
    • Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser. 
    • Took it apart to get to the bearing found out i was wrong the bearing was pressed on to the diff side and the part i removed only had the bearing side, checked the bearing all looked fine took the shaft end to a shop and they recon it was movement from back and forth that made the marks and not rumbling about, so i just changed the seal and put it all back again.
