hi guys

i have recently found that there is a misfire in my r33 gts-t at about 6500rpm under load in first gear runing at 6psi

when i run it at 10psi the problem gets worse and does it at about 4000, then 5000 then 6000 rpm.

it feels very similar to when you hit the rev limiter only you feel it the once.

the only mods are k&n pod filter with cai, turbo smart boost controler (swichable) and i have only just put a full 3'' exhaust on this week.

anyone know what this problem could be or any ideas?

ok Robo ive done the search and what u say about the safc sounds good. but if the fuel dumping is my problem could this be fixed by simply turning the boost down?

how much would it cost me for a safc and a good tune?

i do want to put in an apexi power fc in my car soon, so would i be wasting my time and money buying the safc? also my car is an auto so i dont know if i can use an apexi power fc?????????

i have the exact same prob and so do 2 of my other mates. i am getting mine fixed atm and one of my other mates has just had his done. it has to do with the coil packs being stuffed/cracked. the cover that is over the top of the coil packs in the 33's isnt exactly the best when it comes to ventilation of heat. i am getting bosch coil packs put in. and i run with the cover off in the mean time. the bosch packs don't fit under the factory cover, so they get mounted externally of the cover and are alot cheaper. :)

thanks for the info. i turned my boost down to 6 psi and the problem isnt as bad, but it is still there. it missfires at 6500 rpm, just before gear change. if it still does it with the boost down to 6psi this leads me to think it may be something else because its only just started to do it also.(within the last week)

or do you think i should just get a safc.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
