Hey guys, I've had this issue for a while now where once I change gears from revving it out, the car will .....miss fire for 1 or 2 seconds before it starts pulling again, this is at WOT, with less throttle I don't have the issue. I have just changed the coil packs out, changed plugs .8 gap. I have also recently adjusted the TPS as it must have been

knocked or something, I adjusted to .48 on reds, car seems to behave according to where my foot is on the throttle, where when the TPS was out it was erratic, I have also changed the TPS. It can also happen when say....cruising in second at 2k rpm, then flooring it WOT, it will miss for a second...then catch on and off it goes. Once

it has miss fired in that gear, it will pull to redline, but once I change gear it will happen again, any ideas? I have checked for vacuum leaks, rectified some as now the car does not create positive boost in neutral where it was before replacing suspect hoses.

I have stock airbox with k&n panel filter, 3.5" from turbo, stock boost (12 psi) stock BOV and front mount. Plugs have been changed to copper@ about .7 or.8 from iridium @.7 or .8

Let me know what you think it could possibly be.

Please note....it isn't one cylinder misfiring, its all of them, for around a second or so.

Thanks guys.

Hey mate, umm yeah thats the thing, the standard 1.1 will misfire as soon as full boost comes on, thats the only reason I have them gapped so low, with them at this gap there is no misfire on full boost.

Then maybe change your driving style a bit. Instead of simply flooring it, feed the power (watch the in-car shots of V8 super taxi drivers when they show the feet movements). When you floor it, the ECU dumps a heap of fuel in, temporarily flooding the engine.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
