Hey guys...

Yes I have searched but came to no help...

So, I have a 96 R33 just with basic mods, stock turbo, cooler, exhuast, Powerfc. It has a alimighty rapid miss fire. It only happens when i have my foot flat and go over about 4500rpm, Say you put your foot down quater the way down it can rev right up same if you just give it a rev under no load... What I have changed are the coils (Superspark), tryed two sets of spark plugs gapped to .8, changed fuel filter. It doesnt happen all the time but atm everytime I drive it. I can see in the engine bay that there is a earth strap near the turbo that is broken so i measered the Ohms between the engine and the chassis and it seemed alright. so if anyone could help it would be great i have taken it to a workshop and they where pretty hopeless (Well known workshop to).

Cheers Matt

Alright just a few more things i have found out today well when it missfires the engine light turns on I played around turning different warnings on and off, in the powerfc and it seems to be the knock sensor... The car is running rich blowing black smoke when the mis happens and you can smell it... Could it be a faulty knock sensor which is casuing it to run rich would this casue the miss or is my idea totally wrong?? Anways any help would be great

Cheers

What's the knock count on the Power FC read when the engine light comes on? It's most likely just pinging its head off, safest bet take it to a workshop to check the timing and AFR's over 4000rpm, most likely leaning out a bit up top.

Didn't run some crap fuel in it recently?

Had good fuel in it have been threw a couple of tanks. The knock count is high when the engine light comes on but the miss doesnt happen when the light comes on only happens above 4000rpm with foot flat, So I dont know if im chasing two problems now. Can you pick a new coil pack loom anywhere or is there only second hand ones?? and workshop wise around Brisbane what can you recommened?? I had a bad run with the workshop last time over a few little things where it got tuned, like cross threading spark plugs and not telling me and letting me find out the hard way

Hmmm sounds like two seperate problems, a missfire problem and a knocking problem.

For the knocking its going to be in the tune.

As for the missfire, if you have changed plugs (BCPR6E's?) and it still does it, then most likely it is the coilpacks or the loom.

As for the broken engine earth, there is still a main engine earth on the block underneath the plenum, however i would still add a couple more earths off of the head. I picked up a Pivot engine earth/voltage stabilizer kit for $50 brand new to test it out (retails for $300 on nengun at the moment, f**k that!) and straight away noticed the car was easier to start and the voltage didn't drop down as low on start up anymore. So extra earthing of the engine definetely helps a tiny bit. Add another earth near the coilpacks to the body of the car just in case, it can't hurt.

yeah im having this same problem too. ive had problems with splitfires though. ive had to send three back so far. had car running perfect again after sending back splitfires when i went over seas. just got back after 14months, useless brother wasnt starting it up every few days so pretty much sat there for over a year.

then they started it up just before i got back and it was running terribly so took out my wolf3d and put stock ecu back in. would run ok but miss fire at 4500rpm. so i figure its another splitfire coil pack. think i may have received a dodgey batch or something considering its the 4th one to die.

put the wolf back in so it ran ruff unplugged each coil to see which one made no difference. this is how i diagnosed last three times, replaced with a stock one and ran fine again.

this time thought it was the 5th one, changed for stock one, runs ok at idle now but still mis fires at 4500. so put stock ecu in again but still the same.

has gotten worse now sometimes doesnt even idle with stock ecu now. and can missfire anywhere through the revs as low as 2500rpm. seems to come and go with the missfire at idle but at 4500 does it everytime

not sure how to solve this one. possibly two coil packs gone at same time??? wiring loom? tried to search for "how to test coil packs" but couldnt really find an answer. any suggestions?

cheers

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?
