Got a misfire. It's most noticeable in 2nd under full throttle and it starts misfiring at about 5500rpm. In 4th at about 5000 rpm full throttle. I'm guessing it's coilpacks. In all other regards she's running fine. I'm sure other gears too but these are the stand out occasions.

Is this likely?

Cheers.

ANother vote for splitfires, had the same thing happen to mine

PS, hows your gearbox? You got the one from Sydney yeah?

Sounds like the coils then.....I think they're now $625ish. Nissan wants $1,200....

Gearbox is OK. Bit of bearing noise and 2nd synchro could be better. Long way better than my old one, but I'm still looking for the gearbox holy grail.

Id check to make sure 110% though before buying.

Simply swap over with someone's who you know works.

You can use mine if you want, they are near new splitfires.

A kind offer. You're quite right as I'm only guessing it's the CPs. Drop me a PM with your number and I'll call to arrange?

Cheers.

umm instead of buying new coil packs why not just repair them? and when you have cash get splitfires then.

when i had my 33 repaired it then and never had a problem afterwards. mates GTR33 is putting out 270 atw and was getting misfires like you on full woot did a repair and all is well

my current car R34 GTT 240 rwkw also had misfire and 3 hours to repair and its as good as new.

all you need to do is take it out clean it all up then put a nice thick coat of clear nail polish. i did 3 thick coats on mine and took about 3 hours from taking it all out to going for a test drive.

all it is one or more of the coil packs have a fine fine hair line crack on them so on fool woot the sparks archs out of it causing it to misfire.

its very easy to fix and is a cheap alternative while saving up for splitfires.

Thanks for your input Ash but I think I'll go for a more robust and permanent solution. The CPs are now 18 years old and I can't be fugged going on my next all too rare drive to miss out on my fun because my....erm....wife's nail varnish didn't do the job. Glad your trick has worked for you though.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
