if what you have done hasnt solved the missfire, take it for a drive, do a few ks and then pull the plugs out one by one and check them

if they are being fired properly they should be blackened

if you find one that looks like its brand new or not as used looking as the others, then chances are the coil pack for that cylinder has flogged out

you will need to replace that one

thats what solved my misfire problem

changing the fuel filter is a good thing to do.

did you have any success with project diagnose missfire?

Haven't taken it for a drive yet, so I'm not sure.

Got all the hose clamps off the fuel filter and then couldn't get the hoses off, so had to turn back.....got any tips?

all the plugs I pulled out looked about the same colour.....greyish....so it looks like the mixture is OK

Couldn't see any obvious cracks or anything in any of the coils, but that prolly doesn't mean much.

I'll take it for a drive later and see how it goes....if it's still missing I might wind the boost down a bit, coz since I fitted the dump and FMIC it seems to max at about .8 or .85 BAR

thats how i got them loose, usually over the years they have melted a bit and end up stuck on

yeah...I think that's what's happened to mine....makes you wonder how long it's been since the fuel filter was changed :(

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
