Hey guys... i've been having a problem with my R33 GTST miss firing and running rich (wet plugs). I've changed coil packs, igniter module and crank angle sensor. Still no change. I am starting to think that perhaps my stock computer is buggered as i'm getting an Error 21 Ignition Signal Problem on the consult computer (at the mechanics). I have a HKS FCONV, VPC and PFC-FCON so i'm thinking that the signal that they are giving to the computer is not being interpreted properly. I spoke to a tuning guy and he thinks that it could be the computer if i've changed everything else. I've got it booked in on monday for him to look at but would like to try a computer swap this weekend.

If anyone has a factory Series 1 R33 GTST Computer i could borrow till Sunday night that would be awesome... it would narrow things down further (and cost me less at the tuning workshop).

My mobile is 0411 570 590, or send me a PM if you can help out. I can come and collect the computer anytime. I'm in Melbourne, in Camberwell, so someone over the east side would be preferable.

Cheers, and thanks in advance

Andrew.

I've got my computer out. Takes 5 min, undoing 4 bolts with a 10mm socket. Surely someone is out there to help a fellow SAU brother! I'll even undo the computer for you if you aren't confident doing it.

If you were in my state I could help you out, Bro.

My factory ecu is gathering dust in a desk drawer - not that it helps you much.

Bump for your thread.

Hope it's an easy fix for you, Andrew

it's all good... a mate is coming over with one of his mates who has skyline... so i'll post up if that was the problem. I'll get him to run my ECU in his car too to see if it runs really rich.

I'm kind of hoping it's the problem as it's an easy fix.

I swapped over the ECU today with another factory one. I have changed everything except for the HKS computer. I've changed crank angle sensor, coil pack igniter module, i've tested all the coil packs (all read 0.8 ohms), i've swapped over the factory computer with another one. So all that is left in the ignition circuit is the HKS FCON V, HKS VPC, and PFC-FCON and also the wiring loom. So either the HKS computer has crapped itself (or he fried it), or the current tune in it has been erased, or the wiring loom is damaged.

Starting to piss me off. I wish i knew what this other tuning place had done to it...

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
