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.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
