hello, i have a problem with my s1 r33 skyline. It has a pod filter, front mount intercooler and 3 inch cat back exhaust apart from that i think everything else is stock.

when i start driving in the mornings or when the engine is cold everything is fine, makes good power all the way to 7000 rpm but by the time the engine has got to normal operating temp it feels like its misfiring from 3000 to 5000, then is ok to 7000rpm. Even driving normally under light throttle it will feel like its misfiring as soon as the revs get close to 3000. It has new plugs gapped to 0.8 and brand new coils (superspark) and the injectors have been cleaned and tested.

would really appreciate any help or advice

OK first off, I'm going to ask wtf you're revving it to 7k when it's not up to temp?!

Then, I'm going to suggest igniter or coil harness, check with known good items. My temp. related misfire issues were due to the plastic inside the coil plugs deteriorating and falling apart.

So it is running the stock ECU?

With those same mods I struck the failsafe "rich and retard" that the stock ECU is programmed to run. Same symptoms were observed.

thanks for the tips. i pulled the coil harness out and one of the plugs fell apart in my hand so i need to repair or replace that item. any ideas where to buy the connectors or a complete harness???

That's exactly what happened to mine. I had an electronics mate I used to work with at the automotive R&D place try to track me down the plugs but to no avail :D

rhdjapan.com has complete harness

That's where I got mine from except I could only get an RB26 one at the time.

Justjap has them aswell, for all models it seems.

i found some connectors and repaired the wiring harness (n16 pulsar with the 1.8 litre motor has the exact same connerctors) but still no change. it has a stock ecu and is running stock boost so i am starting to lean towards a management issue. whats a cheapish way around the problem as i am planning on selling the car and don't want to spend mega bucks on something that im not going to use but i still want it to be fixed properly

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
