hey im trying to hunt down a miss fire in my rb25det

the car is a stock rb25det making 470rwhp at 26psi

last 3-4 weeks its been getting bad, now its time 2 do something about it.

basically the car from cold will start up and run on 5 cyclinders for first 10secs then clear up and run fine.

i can drive around off boost and it will run fine. As soon as i give the car a hard time and thrash it, i can pull up and on idle its back to 5 cyclinders.mind you it runs perfectly fine under load/boost

ive narrowed it down to cyclinder 6 which is the cyclinder not firing.

ive tried new injectors,coilpack wiring harness etc

injectors have been cleaned etc and new seals.

ive done a compression test and its good came back with 150-155 from 1-6

anyone else got any ideas? some ppl ive talked to think its lifter problem in cyclinder 6?

Simon is making 500+hp on a stock motor? Misfiring could be caused by many things but it seems you've tried the basics. I will be keeping an eye on this thread to see how it progresses. Keep us posted. What I would suspect is the spark plug or coil back. Next would be wiring. Next would be CAS(could be playing up?) Sounds electrical to me. My car had similar symptoms on startup. It would sound like its missing a cylinder or even two and after a few seconds they all kick in, my spark plugs were on their way out. Try gap your plugs closer see if that gets rid of the misfire.

plugs are about 500kms old bk7re always used them.

leak down test might be on the cards then, might ask my tuner 2 perform this.

yes 26psi thru gt35r on a stock rb25. i dont always run this boost. only turned it up for a dyno day not long ago.

running 1.75bar atm.

At that power level I am assuming normal 98 pump gas? Simon is getting away with it on an ethanol mix, petrol would probably be a bit much for the crap fuel we get in this part of the world :(

+1 on compression test.

Try a CAS and see. Just borrow a mates one if possible.

Have u upgraded the valve springs?

Does the engine tick when its misfiring?

Any smoke?

Do a compression test when it starts to misfire if u can. Maybe a valve seat issue

Gonna try new CAS 2morrow morning.

Valve springs are stock

only ticking noise is from the injectors, as far as im aware

no smoke at all.

ill get it 2 run on 5 and do a compression test then and see wot it comes up with.

yeh my tuner thinks a lifter or valve or something along those lines in cyclinder 6

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
