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.

    • 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
    • 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. 
    • 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.
