Hey all,

Just posting this up to see if other may have experienced and recified the same issue with there r33 gtst's.

Car idles nicely at the correct rpm (650rpm from memory). about every 30-45 secods or so its like the motor has a small miss , i feel the engine lightly jolt and revs must drop (happens so quick u dont notice it on the tacho).. This has been happening for some time now, but its getting annoying so i want to try and fix it.

I have new plugs bcpr6es, fuel pump has been replace with a new item, AFM has been cleaned with electrical cleaner.

I have not cleaned aac valve (idle control valve) or replaced the fuel filter.

Any idea what might be causing this.. Coils are good and hold up good under boost and whilst driving the car the problem is not there.. only at idle.

mods include fmic, zorst, std ecu.

lol cheers for the reply man. its annoying to say the least but if its just the plugs then I could live with that. prior to this i run bpr6es (not bcpr6es) and did not have the problem.. Whats the 'c' in bcpr6es mean ?

I have a similar issue in my r32. Does the miss always happen on idle? Or does it come along a couple of days etc?

Ive noticed that when my battery voltage drops below 13v on idle, the car starts to have the little shakes.

In my case, i believe its the alternator not charging the battery on idle and causing it to drop to 12.5v~.

As the voltage is low, this would cause the injectors, coilpacks to act funny causing a slight vibration etc.

Go to an auto electrican to check your alternator/battery to see if they are running okay.

Doesnt hurt to try as they are happy to check for free.

Let us know on the progress.

In addition to this, ensure your battery terminals are clean and ensure there is sufficient grounding. Also check you vacum hoses for fine cracks as a small vacum leak could also show such problems.

Cheers

sorry to hijack your thread but mine also does similar if not the same thing.

when i pull up to my driveway it idles low and makes a beep/whine while it is idling low then stops when the rpm go up.

Anyone had this/heard to this??

CAR: R33 S1 Stock bar: Catback, k+n panel.

hey i got a series I gts-t and does the same thing its all good man nothing to stress over i had a heart attach when i got it but meh its fine doesnt do n e thing bad so im not stressed but ye ive noticed it a few times esp at lights

well buggor34 service my car for me (thanks mate) this included new oil 4100, oil filter, fuel filter, new plugs and also cleaned the AAC and FIXED no more missing im so happy, sorry i couldnt be more helpful in diagnosing but one of the above fixed me problem, we are thinking it was most likely the plugs to be honest as the others were totally screwed that or AAC which wasnt really dirty at all.

i've been having a similar problem for a while now. it always goes away when i put new plugs in, but comes back after a couple hundred kays. never paid too much attention to it until this week.

i had my 100,000km service recently. the only thing not replaced was the plugs (at my request, had NGK iridiums only about 1200km old). the misfire got really bad after a timing problem was fixed. replaced the plugs to be on the safe side and the misfire stopped. the thing is, i'm now experiencing a severe lack in power.

when i say severe, don't just pass it off as a non turbo thing, i'm talking 12-13 seconds to get up to 100km/h pulling onto the freeway. when i put my foot down in any gear after 2nd all it does is make noise. and what a noise. my car has always been legal in the volume department, but this morning i couldn't hear the harley sitting next to me at the lights.

something is very very wrong.

any thoughts? i'm taking it back to the shop that did the service as soon as i get a chance, but work is busy and these guys take a ridiculous amount of time to get anything done. for my major service i was without a car for TWO WEEKS.

any thoughts?

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
