Hi all,

Just imported a r34 gtt , its stock standard...done around 90,000.... just recently if i've got my foot planted it missfires pretty bad through 4.5-5.5k revs, and stops after that.... it doesnt do it if i accelerate more gently through those revs

Anyone have anyidea whats causing this?

Cheers

Splitfires are a bit of a rip off now, around $600+ new from memory. Might be better off trying to source some barely used second hand ones from this forum, or alternatively go with a different brand.

i had a very similar problem once, and despite everyone telling me it would be coilpacks, it turned out to be a bad connection to the CAS..

my suggestion is not to go out buying a bunch of gear you may not need.. take it to one of the garages from the consolidated workshop thread and they should be able to tell you the cause pretty quickly and it will save you money in the long run.

before you buy new coilpacks if u wanna save some money (this isnt a permanent fix) change your spark plugs and gap them to about 0.75mm - dont go less then 0.7 and dont go more then 0.8. sometimes this will stop the missing

600$ !! thats lame. let alone if i get somewhere like x-speed to do it, probably cost me around a grand =/

:P WOW! You got a Skyline and don't even want to pay $600 to repair it? Skylines are money pits, get used to it. Wait til your clutch goes...and even better wait til the turbo dies on its hole.

Bit of advice, if you don't want to pay workshop markup on parts, source out the parts yourself and just pay the workshop for the labour. Will save you quite a bit in the long run.

I'd be pulling out my plugs and checking the condition/replacing them. is the engine running higher than standard boost? if not re-gapping shouldnt be required. if that fails being the next cheapest option i'd do a upper cylinder purge (u.c.p.) personally i use a product called "injector max" to ensure the injectors are clear and fueling properly and the back of the valves/piston heads are clean, just did one today on my R33 and can really feel the diffrence it made! If that doesnt fix it i'd be focused on the coilpacks. (might be a good idea to buy just one known working second hand standard coil then swap it with the rest one at a time to see if this eliminated the problem as it could just be one dodgey coil pack behind the whole miss) it takes a little bit of time but its better than $600 for a set of splitfires ya know :D

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
