Just done another coil last weekend thats number 4, does any one know if something might be causing them to die or just a bit old 1/97 with 100,000km and are all going to slowly die? Cars been running fine at 10psi for last couple of weeks had the following problem at any higher boost, now idles rough as coil is gone, this whats happened from previous thread I posted.

"I've got the same problem a misfiring at hi boost (> 11psi) but with different mods on my R33 Gtst with a full exhaust, FMIC, pod, dual port bov. I got a wolf 3d ems tuned last september with a new bosch fuel pump and NGK BCPR7ES sparks set to 0.8mm. Car was running fine at 14psi from a bleeder until march this year when two coils went one after the other, I then thought another coil had gone with misfiring. But coils were fine they had replaced the plugs with autolite App 3924 double platinum plugs but gapped them at 1.1mm I then got them to change it to 0.8mm which I thought made the car run better with not as much misfiring at hi boost (10 psi is fine but much more than that). They also cheaked the heat range of the autolite plugs and the same as the ngk 23-37 i think. I've reduced the overall trim of the ignition timing by up to 5 degrees and it did not make any difference also the battery voltage is almost alway 14 V on the handcontroller during normal usage so I think the battery is fine but havn't checkit under hi load. I reloaded the origimal wolf settings and didn't make a difference so I don't think theres anything wrong with the wolf and I starting to run out I ideas so any ideas are much appreciated."

I think i have a similar problem when i accelerate hard i hit about 5000rpm then you jusT get a flat spot or misfiring, but then sometimes it seems ok?

just in the process of purchasing fuel pump, i might try the idea of the battery?

any other thoughts

car is r33 rb25det standard boost full 3" knn has iridiums still at 1.1mm any other thoughts i have changed plugs cleaned air filter changed fuel filter clean afm so i have determined its either the fuel pump or coil packs? i didn't clean the coil packs when i changed the plugs!

Yeah.... I had misfiring at high rpm (anything above 5000rpm) and BD4s tested my coils and found 2 faulty ones. Am having them replaced today...so hopefully should fix things up for the track day in 2 weeks. WLD747 thanks for the tip on the nissan cover...ill take it off for the day....out of interest, what do you do with the black box that sits on top of it at the rear of the cover?

i know what gapping them does but whats the point if i dont need to?

My story was similar to yours. With only a cat back zorst, and stock boost (well the zorst probably increases stock by a few psi), she misfired like a dog between 4500-5500. I put copper plugs in and gapped them to 0.8mm. This reduced the misfire until I added a bleeder and misfire became a problem at 10.5psi. I then put in a chipped ECU which removed boost cut and now I'm running 13psi without any hint of misfire.

Another thing to check is the stock boost solinoid. If its not working properly the added juice from VVT will cause misfire...

You dont need a surge tank unless you like running till your tank is almost empty, they are not really needed unless you do track work or something like that. I reakon you would be better spending the money on something else. Dont know what pump you should go for, I have a supra TT Jap Spec which flows way better than a GTR one and you can get them fairly cheap.

hm my dr30 has a misfire .. hoping its the leads, one doesnt click onto the top of the plug all that well .. fingers crossed :cheers:

misfires suck, theres just so many possibilites to try when attempting to fix them, its pure luck if u stumble onto the right one straight away! plugs is easy but after that it can get more complicated!

also have u reset ur ECU? silly thing but sometimes it helps too, once u change ur plugs and etc that uve done, undo ur battery for a while then re connect it. it may help. :D

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
