Just got my first skyline(r33 gtst s2) the other month and was impressed with the performance and overall car, i got it 100% stock so i put in a KN pannel filter next i got some yellow jacket coils and new spark plugs( NGK iridiumi BKR6EIX-11) car was running fine then i fit the plugs and coils and car was running rough as and would misfire after 4000RPM so i thought it might be the coils i put the old ones back in and it was fine at idel but still missfires at 4000rpm.

Can someone help a newbie out?

Thanks

Sounds like plug gap. Gap the plugs down to about 0.8mm and the misfire should dissapear. Iridium plugs are not the best for forced induction. They have a really small contact point and a large plug gap the spark phsyically blows away from the electrode under revs and boost. So gap them down or go back to 0.9 on a standard ngk. Ive used standard ngk in cars making over 800hp.

Looks Like everyone ditched ya lol

Diagnosing problems can be a pain in the arse but half the time its process of elimination.

And thats the easy part.

ask yourself these questions.

did you get it past 4000rpm when you first drove it or before you installed the plugs and coils?

the problem could of been there before you brought it.

If thats not the case then something you put on the car is giving you trouble,its to coincedental.

Get a mate rev it to 4grand and do the ol' disconect a coil at a time test to see which cylinder is playing up

that will give you a leg to stand on.

you have set the gap and 100% sure you have the right spark plugs?

then its not them,you didnt say if the coils are brand new if they arnt test the resistance with a DMM

also maybe ur air filter is in the wrong way haha.

if the prob is fixed let me know what it was :)

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
