OK . I've owned the r33gts for around a year now . serviced regularly and just on the weekend . she decided to miss . the spark plugs were pretty worn so i replaced them. and soon after i cranked her up again she started to miss again . i naturally assumed coil packs noticeably to find that cylinder 4 with the pack was fubar . by unplugging the others n switching them round. so in came new coil packs . but the miss is still there . it sounds like a vaccum cleaner on roids . idles normally. until you put your hand down in front of the rear muffler. you get a putting sensation. exhaust valves was my next thought . help anyone ??? ;)

hmmm im not expert but maybe think about getting plugs regapped or getting splitfires...cause i think i remember reading somewhere on here that after 100'000km or so coilpacks start to go..not 100% so anyone can feel to correct me.

have u checked timing? maybe just needs a tune. could possibly be the exhaust values, mine slips in and out of a mornin but once u tap the accelartor shes fines, i think it just cold but.

keep us posted how its goin

i believe the actual way it sounds is like a rexi hahahaha :) ... but from what u said i woulda thought it would be the packs, what brand replacement 1ns did u get??? cuz mine kicked the craps bout 70k, n when i checked the codes it was code 21 or whateva 4 ignition so naturally plugs n packs

If it is the symptom of starting up in a cold morning and your car puts, revs drop by 500 then back up and car shakes and you hit the accelerator and it fixes the problem its a ignite problem with the fuel. Fix it by getting new coils :)

You can tell its a air or fuel problem when your car shakes. If you disconnect your AFM sensor plug it will do the exact same thing but obviously a different reason. In this case your basically not giving enough spark until you accelerate and that helps ignite the entire cylinder.

This wont damage your car by the way, its up to you if you want to fix it.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
