Have had this problem since I got the car and it was stock as a rock and its still the same after all these mod's !!! The engine misses with any more than 12psi boost. This week all the following gear went in-

t3/t4, FMIC,PFC,Adj Fuel Reg,Big Fuel pump,z32 afm,new plugs(copper-correct gap) and we tested every coil pack with a known good item. STILL MISSING. It runs like a dream until we go over 12psi. I have been told it could be the crank angle sensor(dry solder joints??) but we ran out of dyno time and crank angle sensors. I hope I have given enough details for some of the SA GURU's to offer some idea's.

Cheers

Stevo

SK - AHA!! I HOPED YOU WOULD DROP IN, IT'S GOT 7'S WITH .8MM GAP. PREVIOUS TO THESE COPPERS WE TRIED IRIDIUMS ETC AT MANY GAPS AND HEAT RANGES WITH NO LUCK.

JTECH- ITS GOT A POWER FC SO NO BOOST/FUEL CUT ISSUES

I KNOW THIS SYMPTOM HAS BEEN COVERED TO DEATH BUT I THINK MY PARTICULAR PROB COULD BE AN ODD ONE.......MMMMMMMM

i have exactly the same problem over 12psi!!!!!!!! its very annoying so i just wind the boost down for now! and ive also done the whole experimenting with plugs, but nothing helped.

i have found that it happens alot more before full operating temp.

Have you actually set a boost cut level. Mine is set at 1.46bar If i just touch up to it in 1st or 2nd i get a misfire if i hit it hard under full load in 4th i get complete ignition cut until the revs are back down to zero then ig comes back on and i can restart.

Just a stab in the dark, but a mate had the same thing.

He regapped his plugs from 0.8 to 0.74 and it worked a treat - miss fire totally gone..

It's hard to believe that 0.06 mm made that much of a difference, but in his case it made the world of difference !!

Good luck.

Stevo is it a series 1, 1.5 or 2? if its a series 1 have you tried another igniter module? Seems like you've replaced all the normal problem parts. This sounds electrical and it"s boost related so try another MAP sensor. Hope your'e monitoring vitals on the dyno like fuel pressure, new parts can be faulty and you need to know that all your bases are covered. Hope this helps Good luck.. :(

Common Stevo, do the leak down test, it will rule out internal problems. Then you can confidently say its external and swap bits over. We find the best way is to get another car same model and swap them, one by one.

I'm not saying it's the problem but at least check it.

Lucky your car was on the dyno when it happened, you dont get too many chances with lean mixtures at load.

Thanks boys! Leakdown down test next, then igniter module(its a series one). It has a new fuel filter and monitired fuel pressure on dyno OK. No rubber hose left on turbo inlet to crush. Probably look at the injectors next. Hey SK, when you used this fuel setup as an alternative to getting bigger injectors, could you get a nice smoooth idle? Some times (only first tune) it can be OK then it gets a bit grumpy/rough. Dripping/dirty injectors?.........will keep you updated guys.

Thanks for the input,

Stevo

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
