After reading few more posts regarding this problem. Ive decided to turf out my $30 pod, possibily a oiled one and going back to the stock air box. Im certain that by going back to the stock air box our problem will disapear due to the air resude on the afm clogging our boost levels, maybe. Anyone given it a go please post results.

If not i need to take it to someone for a timing adjustment as ive heard advance it to 15+ and it should disappear.

otherwise coils packs next week, damn.

will post results.

cheers

Max GT its your computer (ECU) Auto skylines have a different and more conservative program and a link to the auto trans computer that will retard ignition timing sooner than a manual and perform a fuel cut sooner at higher boost levels. This has been a big problem for me for 12 months! Anyway I bit the bullet and tried a modified manual computer.... and YEAH BABY YEAH!! now i'm running 1 bar boost and have to be careful changing to second because there is no rev cut now so savage gear changes are all the go. Also if your going to try this, then make sure to get a dyno tune afterwards to be sure.

Strich9ine i don't know if this helps buddy but if your car is a manual and a series 2 and you want some split fire coil packs then drop J-SPEC a line. [email protected] They have a new set collecting dust in the office! it also wouldn't hurt to try a mates ECU. the ecu in mine caused all sorts of problems in the previous car and we tried every thing to no avail just to find that it was the ECU. Hope this helps guys. Have a nice day. :(

well im not sure about that website above but im gona buy some injector cleaner whatever is expensive and see what happens maybe a clogged injector could be the cause but most likely its the coils.

Chances are that your ECU is responsible for the missfire, when you fitted the exhaust you removed a restriction from your engine allowing it to boost more, the factory ECU could be retarding your timing and or cutting your fuel, you may also find the problem to be more pronounced when the air is cold in the morning or at night. Are you still running stock boost?

Well, after your tune you'll have more of an idea of what it isn't. these things are usually not fixed easily, the more information you can give about the conditions when the missfire happens the better. Also, nissans run different parameters when the engine is cold, this is to protect the engine. you should avoid caning until the temp gauge reaches normal operating temperature. I found i had less missfiring problems when the engine was cold but when the engine warmed up and the air was cold outside misfiring was more pronounced. Good luck

yeh, i was told just to try it when it was cold to see if it wuld happen and it didnt, i always let the car warm up to opertating temp, probably in the next week or so ill get a full service of everythign and see what hapens form there, i appreciate the help guys thanx heaps!

My nics has a simular problem it tends to misfire & be laggy while cruising when cold, as soon as the motor warms up and the temp needle hits the fist line on the gauge it takes off and is fine. I have, changed ECU temp censor, O2 Sensor, just had the AFM Calibrated wich fixed my over fueling problem as some one had dicked with it and was way out. I have just replaced my ECU and it seems to not be laggy when cold but splutters a bit more when cold but can put that down to still learning. this has been a quest over the last 12 months and will not be happy until it purs.

Well guys told you i would keep you posted on the remedy for our poping in RB25s. Ive been told possible problems coils, ignitor module, pod etc. Well i went to autobarn in my area(sunshine), ask the guy if he had a really good injector cleaner thinking i might have an injector problem. Well he said try Pro Strength Octane Booster (NULON) for $20. The reason he told me was it cleans the bad deposits on the injectors, increases performances and horsepower. Well once the octane boost kicked in any car on the road will have no chance. It holds boost and keeps on boosting.

Hope it fixes your guys problem, fixed mine; touch wood.

Another interesting point is that japanese fuel is better octane than any aussie fuel, so an octane booster may fix the problem but if it comes back next tank of fuel then altering the timing, as has been suggested, would be a better long term solution.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
