Ok dudes i know i have some sort of issue with the car missing at around 4-5000rpm, which after much messin around we figure its gong to be coil packs.

We ran my car up on the dyno at my mates wshop on the weekend and ony made 134rwhp this was just over 4000 rpm

the car is r33 4door

rb25det

iridiums at 0.8

knn filter

full 3" although cat isn't hi-flowed

bleed valve standard boost ( we changed the boost in increments from 7-10psi and onlly made 2-7 hp difference

this was extremely concerning as it only put out about as much as my 900kg datto which is still pathetic.

any one else seen these types of figures.

I know there is nothing wrong with the dyno as it is the one from the recent summernats hp heroes the one that ran 1470rwhp on it, apparently most accurate in oz. i will have to tune next week but i wouldnt think that coil packs would make that much difference would they we should expect arount 200-210rwhp

yeh i know would coil packs rob me of that much power, the air fuel ratio was cool, the curve looked ok then bang straight back down at around 4000-5000, which is where my misfiring is, hmmmmmm, i have found that it only seems to happen under heavy load, ieif i run the accelerator easing it on lightly all the way to redline, it seems to pull the right way, but if just plant my foot nothin after the 4ish you just get the missing,

sounds like car has similar mods as mine not to sure if yours is full 3" is turbs back, butwe did notice that the standard cooler is crap as we were spraying water on it and was just drying so quickly, fmic would be handy, even yours to mine 134 to 170 is a big diff!!

we could have taken it higher but it wasnt making any power past 4000rpm

That power at those particular revs sounds about right. But you should continue to make power til about 6400, or even more with your mods eg exhaust. Peak power arrives t 6400 on a standard car. hopefully its just the coil packs.

I would think if a coil pack works ok at light load, it should also work ok at full load. Not 100% on this, but you could prolly use an Insulation Resistance tester (megga) on the 1000v scale to test it (know any sparkies?). The primary winding should have continuity from one end to the other and should not be shorted to earth. I think the secondary should also have continuity from the plug top to earth on the coil pack. Please correct me if i'm way off the mark!

rb25 you would think that yours and mine should be making more power, they are around 180-190 standard from factory?

there is wear and tear but we had an older supra on there similar mods 4 years older no rebuild more kms and put out 200rwhp and they come out with 187kw factory same as skyzers i think?

similiar problem to my tuning at CRD. Mine's FMIC, unichip, full exhaust, EBC

made 163rwkw with a stuffed coil pack, replaced it and made 181rwkw on 7psi.

Jim @CRD suggested gapping the plugs from 0.8 to 0.75 if wanted to go on higher boost as the spark was breaking down with more than 7psi. Gapped it and had a test run on .8(11psi) and .9(13psi)bar, sweet.....

I had this problem on my car....the engine was misfiring and spark was breaking down at high RPM (4000 or above). Had the workshop check it out and found that 2 of my coil packs were on the way out. I bought 2 second hand replacements from the for sale section on SAU replaced the old ones and now everything is sweet. In the meantime while running with the faulty coils the workshop regapped the corresponding spark plugs closer in order to try and reduce the misfiring. As more load is put on the coils, the spark breaks down more and arcs out causing the misfire. Check your plugs as well because there could be a lot of deposit on them which may be fouling them as well.

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
