Hey guys! This is my very first post on this forum, and I need your help!

I'm buying a car on Monday, I drove it today and it feels like its misfiring when boost kicks in...4-4500 rpm..it's only sometimes it does it as I went back to look at the car a second time and it didn't do it. So I was thinking a Chang of leads/spark plus/ spit fire coil packs are the problem??? My friend told me this is a normal problem most r33s have??

If someone could let me know ASAP before I buy the car on Monday that would be great!!

Thanks guys

Why would you buy a car that is playing up?

Because you predict the fix will be easy?

My Stag had a misfire when I bought it. It caused a few minor headaches at first, but nothing major. I still haven't solved it, but I'm fairly sure it's the coilpacks.

exactly right. im predicting its hairline fractures in the coil packs, as ive read on here its a easy fix but id like to get a set of splitfire coils anyway. the car just had a service 3500 klms ago and hes got recipets that timing belt was changed and the other regular service duties were carried out....the car is great its just this little misfire problem. i took it for a test drive and told him when i got back. he said he knows it happens but only sometimes which is true as i took it for a drive again and it didnt do it...therefore he lowered the price, to compensate me for fixing the problem...

i suggest u can be a bit of a hard ass to cover yourself.

IF i was buying it i would ask the buyer to solve the problem, if its plugs and simple things its weird that the buyer would not fix this himself to sell, thats just f**king lazy, i would suggest its something more, not major just something he cant be assed spending money on to sell.

if its coilpacks then make him replace them. if it fixes it then u pay for the parts but if it dosnt fix it then u dont want to buy.

He has no clue of how to install anything , he gets he's local mechanic to do all the services for him, he just told me that it happens more often in the colder mornings, and he's never thrashed it to le it happen..

Matt,

I bought my R33 with a similar problem. I did, however, have the car inspected before I had bought the car. He was 90% certain it was the coilpacks (which as you've found out, it a common problem).

The tacho was also faulty (again, a common problem)

So knowing that those things are wrong, and also knowing fixing both are very straight forward diy's, I got quotes from professionals to fix both, presented that to the seller and shook the f*ck out of the selling price ;)

Naturally any quotes from mechanics are going to be sky high when they quote factory parts! Haha

He accepts (as like your seller, he knew f*ck all about cars) because he thinks his car is terminally ill, and you make a killing - with extra money now ready for mods! Good luck.

EXACTLY my point ^^

i bought some silicone, the industrial grade 401 selley's stuff as i read on the forum that fixes it. is it worth taking and trying there before i buy it?

Well I have almost the exact same problems and have just ordered a set of YJs so I'll let you know how they go. Assuming I get them in the next day or two, they will be in by the weekend.

Just a quick reference, splitfire is the only correct fitting replacement, all the others only use 1 bolt and sit slightly angled as the bolt holes are wrong.

Have you considered that perhaps the ones which "only use 1 bolt and sit slightly angled" weren't the correct ones for an RB?

All 4 sets I bought were for an rb25neo, and 3 of them gave me my money back because of poor fitment quality. The 4th was splitfire.

Well, I'll let you know how the YJs go for me.

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
