as unlikely as it sounds but a broken ringland/piston can cause a miss under load.

whats ur fuel pressure regulator like?

a flogged out dirty catalytic converter also can cause problems.

this happened to me , i had a dry solder joint alomg my loom , midway along it too mind you , absolute prick to find.

could be that

Hi I am new in the forum and I have the same problem. My car is R33 GTS-T 25T Series 1 Auto. I recently increased boost to 12 pounds and started to experience misfire only at full throttle (the car has a pod filter, cat-back 3" exhaust, Unichip, bleed valve and standard everything else).

I took my car to Nissan yesterday and fitted a new set of standard heat range 6, NGK Platinum plugs (previously Greddy Iridium, heat range 7), which improved the misfire problem a bit. However, idle rev has gone up from 660rpm to 760rpm.

Any thoughts will be much appreciated.

Gday Kymmy!

sounds like over fuel for sure...

same rev range same boost range...

yeeeeep

Cheers guys,

Well, I'll just wait until the AFC is in and tuned, and if it still does it, i'll be looking at the AFM.... daym!

Maybe it's better to go for a Z32 AFM ? How much are they in comparison to a stock AFM ?

crooser,

By single misfire, i mean, it gives about 3-4 big pops consistantly between 4000rpm and 5000rpm.. then power comes back on after 5000 and it runs fine till redline...  

so frustrating...

  • 4 weeks later...

After a full major service today thinking my misfiring/poping would disappper has not helped.

i ran 14psi on my r33 series 1 at 4000 - 5000 rpm she would misfire bad. I got a pod, highflow cat, 3'' exhaust system and a custom fmic. As a result i have to run the factory boost level to avoid this problem.

Anyone got definate solution to this nightmare we are all having.

Well heres my plan of attack in the next few weeks and will update this post with results.

1. Coils (another pair)

2. SAFC

3. Z32 AFM

4. Electronic boost controller (I might have a faulty bleed value_

If it doesnt get better im gona go nuts. any comment welcome as im runnng out of ideas

Thanks in advance

As a last ditch effort, look at higher energy ignition.

I admit I know nothing about MSD type units - in fact I was surprised to see someone on this forum revert back to a VL style "distributor cap and 6 wire" type setup.

However some people have gone to Splitfire D1 coils and this solved their problem.

But they aren't cheap.

Has anybody thought that maybe it may be a faulty injector/dirty injector??? An injector could be dirty and staying open a little possibly and causing overfueling in a cyliner. One of my plugs was blacker than the rest so im getting my injectors checked.

HI WLD747, have you got a boost cut defeater? We have 700 bhp RB's running 1.5 bar with standard ignition, I don't think you need to look at upgrading.

Have not read the above threads so maybe i should keep my mouth shut but I like almost everybody on this forum have had flat spots like you!

I started a thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=23922

and got lots of suggestion most of which were fuel related!

All r33's are going to get a small flat when the cam changes position around 4500 revs. And a fuel modifier like a s afc or something should fix that. But if you are getting really bad ones then you should not rule out the air flow meter, ignitor pack or spark gap...

Spark gap has probably been suggested already but I had somebody change my gap from .80 to .76 which totally fixed the problem, so even the slightest change in gap can make a difference. I should also mention that I am running NGK iriduims.

Have a look at the link above there might be some suggestions there that could also help you!

Sump Baffels? Wtf?

Anyone had the ignition module (black box on top of the engine) die on them?

I've got similar engine skipping problems, and after trying everything else, I'm thinking that may be the cause

rev210 is right the problem is ignition.

This fix has worked on 3 out of 4 cars that I have tryed it on including mine and hitnrun's cars,

Croosers car being the one that it didnt work for (he had a stuffed Afm).

Advance the ignition timing from 15 deg to about 22 deg. no more than 25 deg and then reset the ecu.

Regards

Damqik

Gunmetal has the right idea and I second his post re: .74mm gap with stock ECU on upped boost. check this thread, I just went thru the same BS and sorted it.

    • That R31 was so cool. Only did Orange Park once. Scared the hell out of me.

    • The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter
    • Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
