Hey every just finished my conversion yesterday and finally got it runnig. The story is the motor came out of a s13 so it was ready to go back in well it was just the mounts none of the wiring was done. I did the wiring which was fairly easy 2 wires ign one ecu memory and other is fuel pump everything else works fine. Now when i start it idles perfect can give it a few good revs for about 1-2mins and then it starts missing and wont go away. Ive changed eng loom tried 2 ignition modules 2 afms replaced coilpacks new spark plugs and changed o2 sensor. The only thing that i can think of is that i opend the ecu and found a burnt track, repaird that by soldering a wire and tested the track working perfectly could something else in the ecu be faulty? it also doesnt have the cold start valve so the hoses are just blocked for now. its really doing my head in and if anyone has an ideas would be a great help

ecu is telling you there is a problem run a ecu diagnostic witch makes the ecu flash so many times eg 5 and number 5 is your problem. if that makes sense search on google for it.

try resetting your ecu first.

anyone else experience this?, i spoke to a mate he rekons i need to run a ign wire to power the coilpacks as they might not be getting full power which is strange because ive gone off the factory wires on the loom which are, black/red and white both joind to the black/red on the s13 loom which is factory ign, then ive got my white/black going to the factory red which is ecu backup i have read nothing at all about adding another ign wire to coilpacks if i was to give it a shot where to the coilpacks get power from is it the 3 pin plug near the ign module? thx

Could be many things when it comes to miss firing, you can try clean your AFM with CRC contact cleaner.

Also check the injectors and wires that gose into each injectors, or take to the mechanics and do some

fuel pressure test ! There are many variable for the miss firing problem. Best way is to start from something

easy and work you way up... or try

check earths. main one from engine.a mates did the same idled fine but as soon as you reved it up missed like a bitch. we found the earth lead from block to chassis rail corroded and fricked. changed it and after it was sweet. run a jump lead or thick wire from engine to good earth point on chassis or even better still battery to check.

Hope this helps good luck!

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
