Gday all i have only had my gtr for a month or so im trying to get it sorted befor i goto powercruise.

My problem is when im driving along on the high way sitting at around 100ks from time to time ill get a miss for no reason.Will be humming along perfectly then a miss.Does not happen all the time it just happens at random.

even when crusing around town ill be going threw the gears up to about 2 to 3k revs and i get a slight miss.

What could it be.

I have an idea but id rather ask the pros on here befor i put up what i think so i don t push the topic in the wrong direction.

Mods are

power fc

apexi power intake kit

PE denzo 700 injectors

hks 2530s turbos.

irtop 8s plugs new gaped

if it is very irregular its your PFC, nothing to worry about. They often have an infrequent miss at light throttle.

if it's a concern for you change it for a vipec with the parachute option

Sounds like it could be the "microstutter" problem to me. Inherent with certain revisions of the PowerFC. Nothing to worry about if it is, have the same issues with my PFC, more of an annoyance than anything

My GTS4 with the rb26 in it has got a miss that im trying to nut out at the moment too. Just a intermitent miss were there car would drop a cyl and stay like that for a period of driving for about 2-3 mins and then it would come back to life firing on all cyl. WEIRD!!! ;)

Ive just recently changed my coil packs to yellow jackets so it aint that and ive check wiring harness for coil packs, all good and also the sparkies. The one thing i have done different so far is changing the ignitor to another one as a test. Since doing this last night and driving the car today, everything is sweeeeet. Well so far. ;)

I will keep ya informed on how it goes over the weekend as i keep driving it. It was most of the time when you drove the car it would miss so hopefully changing the ignitor is the answer.

It may be the answer for you. Will keep ya posted! :)

Hi,

The miss could be a number of things.

First is your plugs.

Second is the Coil packs.

Third is the coil loom..ie plugs and wire cables

fourth could be your ignitor not getting earth.

Fifth could the PFC as everyone has stated.

Sixth could be your tune.

Seventh could be what I think I have...air bubbles in coolant.

Tried bleeding a few times but never gets hot enough.

Although not a miss..it sometimes feels like one.

Eight could be your pedal...you could hit a slight hump causing your pedal to let go and

engage again..this happened more to me until I changed my spring rates.

or Ninth thing could be that one of your injectors is rooted..or maybe a few.

Don't think I left anything out...oh..don't think about it to much.....

Its not the easiest thing to live with a gtr...lol.

Well ive driven the car around all weekend and its all good now. Changing the ignitor was the answer to fixing my problem.

Hope you can source what the problem is with your car. Its just a matter of changing things, testing things and eliminating each thing as the cause of the problem as you go along.

I hope you can crack it! :devil:

      Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.

      Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up

      Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
