Missfire Boost@4500-5500 RPM - The Answer! (for me at least!)


Recommended Posts

just put in the iriway 7 spark plugs, still the same, im all out of ideas, i inspected the coilpacks so many times, no burn marks or melting or loose components etc.

any ideas people?

Can a blocked fuel filter result in the car missing/spluttering as described?

If it is totally blocked it could cause it to run very lean and misfire, it is fairly uncommon though.

I had my engine rebuilt for my 32 GTR a few years ago and after the run in I found I wasn't making full boost and was braking down. I found my stock IC plumbing was piping off and then re sealing (took me a while to find that one) then it ran good for a few years and then for a while I had a problem of it breaking down under boost, poping and farting, miss firing like a mofo!! I spent almost every few months changing spark plugs and checking AFM's IC piping. Then I decided to buy new coil packs. Oh man what a difference!!! Red-lining holding boost no worries now. Went with the splitfire. Best investment!

As always the trusty skylines community has helped resolve my missfire issue..

Symptom:

Got a service completed, engine bay cleaned and car started to develop a missfire under load through the rev range starting at 2,500 - 3,500 then 4,500 - 5,500.. Sounds like a machine gun popping..

Swapped out spark plugs which appeared to be quite old and coil pack completely failed when placed back.

Resolution:

Looked at a number of posts and ended up buying a set of 6 yellowjackets rather then splitfires from Performance Wise, arrived in 3 days - great service from Paul..

Put them in, car is performing as normal, no missfire!

Note: Car would idle fine and would be ok when gradually coming onto boost, only when wide open throttle and under load would it missfire..

That sounds exactly like my issue, but mine isnt that severe, just jerky when wide open trottle under load. I will try my mates coilpacks and hopefully that fixes the issue.

Cheers mate

Have a RB25DET with stock coilpacks. Always had a miss fire on idle even with copper or iridium plugs. Car made 291rwhp on stock turbo.

Then I got a GT3082, car makes a 351rwhp. But it has a horrendous missfire on full load, boost @18psi.

So I took my coilpacks out to silicone/tape them. And saw #6's coilpack and plug were burnt out. Thoughts?

Where is that coil plugged in? :sick:

Anyone tried these coil packs: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Performance-Coil-Packs-RB20-RB25-RB26-R32-R33-GTR-/110462393656

Chasing an intermittent miss and wouldn't mind ruling out the coil packs but $600 on the Spitfire ones seems like overkill (fairly stock R32 GT-R).

They look like Superspark knockoffs. Try yellow jackets: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/YELLOW-JACKETS-COIL-PACKS-SKYLINE-R32-RB20DET-S1-R33-RB25DET-GTST-GTR-RB26DETT-/170868197763?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27c889c983

I bought mine off performance wise around 3.5 yrs ago and they are still going as strong as the day I installed them. Neva skipped a spark:)

You can also get them from their website for a little cheaper - http://performance-wise.com/userimages/procart28.htm

Why didn't I read this this morning? Had my coils out chasing a break down in ignition and found my plugs were gapped really badly. Also I don't think the plugs had ever been changed going by how tight all the bolts were including spark plugs.

My 34 was running around 13psi on standard everything but when reved hard would go "b b b b b b" does this sound like coil breakdown or miss firing? It's an auto and it's previously only ever done right before changing gear but was doing it all day Sunday.

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into the Yellow Jackets (although trying the cheap ones is tempting).

missfiring, had the same issues, checked the coil, taped it, replaced sparkies, all good

dont forget to check the coil plugs

that sound just like the problem I've got with my r33 on closer look also found we were getting a voltage drop

at alternator replacing with RH9 hyper Alternator 130A have been told we could be putting to much load on

alternator with extra electronics, will try your fix for coils tho before ordering new coils

    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.   
    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
