The story is a month ago, my car keep miss fire when full throttle accelerate. In the first few days it only happen when on high boost (1 bar). After that even in low boost or turn the booster off, it just keep miss fire or make popping sound. But it runs normal if I step on the gas soft.

So I drive it to the mechanic. They check it for me and said one of my coil pack is dead. Then I find a 2nd hand coil pack to replace the dead one and it work fine. ( for first two days). After that same problem comes out again and I think may be I'm just bad luck to get a crap coil pack I bought. So I return it and change another one again.

The result is same as the last time. It works fine for first 2 days and then miss fire again. Now I'm thinking I shouldn't be that unlucky to get a crap coil pack 2 times and so is that something make the coil pack failure instead of by itself.

By the way, I'm using the NGK Irdium IX spark plug. (BCPR6EIX-11). Is that the right one for the RB25DET? Also is that the gap problem to make it miss fire.

Please help............. :D

To re-gap spark plugs

1. Buy feeler gauges.

2. Remove spark plugs.

3. use feeler gauges to determine gap between centre electrode and tip.

If too big, GENTLY tap the tip towards the centre electrode until check reveals correct gap as per feeler gauges.

If too small, use a feeler gauge to GENTLY lever the tip away from the centre electrode until check reveals correct gap as per feeler gauges.

4. Re-instal spark plugs

One other possibility (unlikely) - check the plug onto the Crank Angle Sensor (the roundish grey thing on the front of the engine)

    • Been a long time since r31 got some love, my brother dropped a shitbox ls1 crapadore in my lap to fix up.  Put a wiper motor in as the flooded one was no longer alive.  got windscreen wipers now. Time to clean respray and install back in the titanic  IMG_0505.mov
    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
