I have a bit of a problem with my 32 GTR when it is cold it starts and runs perfectly and no issue on boost. Only problem is after about 15 mins of driving it misfires under boost and when i turn it off it wont start again. It sounds like its got no fuel or spark but its getting fuel to the rail.

It winds over fast and then seems like it wants to go then just keeps winding over. But when i let it cool down for a bit it starts again without too much hesitation.

Its running a Power fc

Any help would be appreciated

Ignitor pack or CAS would be the two likely suspects given what you have said.

More so Ignitor pack as you say its angry when warm, this is the most common symptom.

To check, get some freeze spray from Dick Smith or something, and spray the ignitor box (black rectangular box at the rear most part of the valley cover)... if it springs to life after an immediate cooldown then thats 110% your problem

looks like it is the ignitor pack. i took it for a drive yesterday and when i got hot and wouldnt start i removed the ignitor pack and let it cool down for 5 mins put it back on and it started straight up.

Are the ignitor packs readily available or can you buy them new from nissan?

Nissan want $900

I think UAS (Unique Auto Sports) do a reco change-over for about $350 which is pretty resonable.

Otherwise... a 2nd hand one... you could have the same problem again in 6 months ;)

thanks for your help mate. I brought one off ebay for $130 so ill see how that goes. And if it fixes the problem than i at least have a spare that i will get exchanged.

I went for a drive before to a mates house to try his ignitor which is differant so it didnt work and then when i finally got it going again it was only running on 4 cylinders. So im just waiting for it to cool down and ill see if it will start.

I need it running properly for next weekend ill be taking it to WSID for a full day

well ive replaced the coils, ignitor pack and the coil loom isnt much good im off to just jap to get one of them in the morning. The issue with it misfiring under boost may be fixed but still no spark on number 4 coil. ive tested the loom and all the joins etc are ok.

Any idea on what would be causing it to not spark on the one cylinder?

just had an auto electrician look at the car all the wiring is ok looks like the power fc is rooted. there is no output on one of the coils from the computer. Im going to pick up the standard one from the previous owner and see if that fixes it

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
