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

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
