Hey guys,

I have a bmw e30 coupe, with a rb25 and 5 speed setup out of a r33. It has (from what ive been told by prev owner) gt30/76, upgraded injectors, fuel pump, 3 inch tbe, haltech platinum pro plug in. Was meant to be making 270rwkw, but that was on a dyno dynamics dyno, i did a run on a mainline dyno and made 240rwkw with very safe afrs, and a touch of wheelspin. (18psi)

I am having a huge misfire at about 3000rpm under load, if i baby the throttle on it doesnt misfire at all, i had heard the coilpacks are known for issues. So i have swapped in some yellowjacket coilpacks but with no difference.

I have fixed a few issues, the install was a bit shoddy. not impressed with the work done to be honest.

I dont know where it was tuned, i have the haltech ecu manager but honestly dont have much of an idea as to what i am doing lol.

it also doesnt run a afm or oxygen sensor but it was very safe on the dyno run so im not overly stressed about the tune.

Where would you recommend a retune in adelaide?

Any ideas on the misfire guys?

Cheers for any input!

so does it have a map and air temp sensor?

miss fire will generally be more erratic and not at a specific rpm.

When you say huge miss fire does it feel like it cuts out? misfires are generally less aggressive as it sounds with you

what psi is it at 3000rpm?

what turbine housing size? waste gate? boost control?

vct working?

has is always been like this since ownership or just recently?

need more info bout your car my friend

Doesn't run a maf sensor, doesn't run an oxygen sensor, it hasn't always been there, it's what I would call a misfire, fullpower, to nothing then full power, might do it twice and then its all good all the way to 7300,

It does seem to be getting worse, I will try plugs and see what happens.

Turbo I was told is a gt30/76, other than that I don't know. How can I check vct? It is all good if I ease into it.

I'll go for a squirt and have a go at data logging it later today so I know exactly what psi it's at

Haha yeah it 'looks' like there is a bit of room but I've run out of space in the tunnel so would be a massive job to move it back to get the cooler hidden

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
