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

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
