Hey guys i own a r32 gtr 93 model and im having issues with my car.

Il state the mods to help you guys with answers.

Full exhaust system 3 inch

Apexi pod filters

Nismo afm's

Sard 700 cc injectors

Bosch 040 pump

Hks 2530 turbos

Greddy boost controller 15 psi boost

Power fc ecu tuned

Splitfire coilpacks

Iriway 7 spark plugs

The coilpacks were purchased second hand of a member on the forum about 7 months ago, they were fine till the last couple of days as to my knowledge. Now as i drive normal everything is sweet but as soon as it gets past about 4000rpm it missfires then it drops a cylinder and sounds like a wrx. Im guessing its the coilpacks that are efffd, but my car isnt that heavily moded to fail a splitfire coilpack (280 kw at all fours).

Am i right to lean towards faulty coilpacks? Or is it not possible for them to die so easily?

Thanks in advance

Sorry don't know the exact name for it but could be the brain that the coil packs are all connected to as well? It kinda dies in the ass sometimes due to heat, but it quite possibly could be the packs themselves. Try another set.

The coils sound dead but try the resitor first it's the silver and black box that sits on top of the coil pack cover. I have coil packs and a resistor you can try to find out the problem I'm on the coast where in syd you live?

The "resistor" box is not a resistor. It's the ignitor. R32 (RB20 and RB26) and S1 R33 RB25 use the same igniter and coils. S2 RB25 coils are not compatible with the earlier ones.

Because all your ignition gear is relatively new, it would be strange (but possible) for something in there to have died. I'd also suspect that one of the injectors might have an issue, so if you get desperate get them tested too.

And then there's the CAS.

cheers

i have this same problem i hav new coilpacks and aftermarket ems ignitors and the ems ecu. i hav replaced all these and havent fixed it. i actually burnt out the coil on #3 cyl. i am having the ignitor and coilpack harness replaced to try and fix the problem.

Turned out my ignitor was gone. No issues after replacing with another.

Cheers for the help guys!

Interesting. My brother-in-law was recently handballed a Legnum wagon that no-one else could make work. He worked out that the ignitor was stuffed......but a new one didn't help. Then they found that the ECU was torched. It had had coolant in it at some earlier stage when a heater hose had died. When the ECU went, it took out the ignitor. Sounds like you might have suffered something similar (ie, ECU killing the ignitor).

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
