Hello there,

i got my car, a manual 1996 R33 gts25t, a month or so ago (imported)

my car had been missfiring at above 4500-5000 rpm when i received it out of compliance..

i thought it was due to having the wrong spark plugs (which were 1.1mil gap)

so i changed the spark plugs to .8mil NGK copper plugs, and that did fix the missfiring for about a week or so!...

and then a similar problem had surfaced again, the car at idle (when warm) sometimes has a heavy cough sorta missfire maybe once every 10 seconds or so

and feels a little bit sluggish driving around and then missfires on full throttle acceleration above 5000 towards redline (like the hesitating sorta missfire that having the wrong gap feels like) - my car has exhaust, decat, fmic, stock boost, air pod and bov blanking plate

i was thinking about removing the blanking plate and resetting the ecu.

or changing the spark plugs again...

Maybe i should try cleaning the AFM/TPS/Oxy Sensor or anything else like that?

Any ideas guys on what else it could be ?...

thanks in advance :P

As above, coil packs.

Is it a series 1?

I had the same issue, so i pulled out my coil packs and checked them out. I couldn't see any cracks in them, but i thought that while they are out i may as well give them a hit of silicone just in case.

So i covered all the coil packs with silicone, because even the most miniscule crack can cause drama's. let them cure for 24hrs and put them back in.

Went on the dyno just after and made 250rwhp and didnt miss a beat.

Remember to use high temp as well, i used shellys roof and gutter silicone if i remember correctly.

Here is a link to my thread like this on NS.com, their is pictures and other infomation you might find usefull.

hmmm i just finished diagnosing this problem. wasn't coil packs, spark plugs, dirty AAC valve

my AAC valve was leaking. loss of power and wrx sound. replaced AAC valve with second hand one. problem fixed. this "misfire" issue is so broad in the time iv been on these forums so many random reasons for it. try the top three first.

i too got a second idle air control valve.. :cheers:

i always replace it..wen i clean my throttle-body..which is like every 3-4months..

or wen i notice my car is idling pretty pretty bad..

seem to fix the problem straight away...

but thats only far an idle issue..

for bad misfires around 4000-5500rpms..

wat fixes 33's with rb25det are..

u either got to replace the ecu..with an aftermarket one..lik power fc..etc..

or run a piggy-back..lik a afc..

im running a apexi neo afc..

seems to fix the problem...

its because of R&R's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

do a search..its a very very common problem on the rb25det...

some people say u got lean out the fuel about/around 4000rpms onwards..

becoz of the r&r that ecu does...

as for plugs..

get use to changing em..

coz rb25det kill plugs..

they dont burn oil or coolant...

they just kill plugs...lol

oh an another thing...

a aftermarket fuel pump..

it should also fix slight hesitation in the rpms..

so try an get one...

if u havent got one already...

wat mods have u got anyways??????????

hey MBS206..

so if u got spitfire coilpacks..

u reckon u should run a 1.1mm gap...

not re-gap them to .8mm?

is that correct?

I would put the BOV back to normal. Since new gapped plugs fixed the issue for a short time. Taking the BOV out of the loop causes mixtures to go very rich when backing of the gas and hench fouling new plugs very early. I wouldn't bother with splitfire coil packs if yours are working ok. They are not any better than perfect std items!

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
