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

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
