Hi guy's im new to this site, I have had a search but can't really find an answer to my problem.

So I got myself an r33 series 1 sedan, manual turbo.

I got it with a missfire on boost.

I have fitted new spitfire coil packs and tried different igniter and cas.

I have even replaced the cas plug as the wiring at the plug were exposed.

I took it into a tuner as the miss was still present, they checked over everything and said there is a earth missing at the rear of the intake.

I started stripping back the wiring to find the wire but thought I would check on another series 1 and see which direcrion the wire comes from.

I only checked 1 other car and it did not have the earth there either but series 2 do.

Mods are 550cc injectors, z32 afm, hypergear atr43, front mout and turbo back exhaust.

Was ran by a dr drift remap but I have fitted a brand new power fc due to a change in tuners.

The tuner told me he had the exact same miss with this earth missing but do series 1 have it?

what? so if the tuner knows what earth is missing why can't they just fix it? Normally the head f**k with issues is finding them, so what's the problem here?

It has a miss/popping on boost.

I have replaced the coilpacks and tried a good cas and igniter.

All with no change to this issue.

Basically from 4500rpm on it misses but feels strange as soon as it starts making boost 3400ish rpm.

Strange as in it feels like it has more pull before it starts to make boost like it is pulling a ton of timing.

Im new to skylines so this issue has me scratching my head.

Does anyone have a series 1 in the west suburbs of melb that I could look at?

Is it a copper earth strap that gets bolted onto the intake manifold heat shield?

Hey, im interested in this too being an s1 owner.

I'm not sure about an intake manifold heat shield though, pics??

Nah I got it cheap because it had this issue and I thought it would be an easy fix haha.

It has bcpr7es in it which are factory gaped to .8mm.

The problem started since the intake manifold was removed and refitted so I will rip the intake off again this weekend to make sure it is sealed.

The vacuum was good but it has gone a bit crap lately.

Was 20inhg now its around 12-15inhg.

So you bought it with an existing issue that started once the inlet manifold was removed, and rather than check that straight away you create a vague thread about the issue.... Seriously dude, why start the thread, check the f**king inlet manifold like you thought was the problem all along.

I started the thread to find out if this earth at the rear of the intake manifold should be there, which from what I have seen is only on series 2.

If vacuum is good and you can't find a leak would yiu remove the intake manifold on an rb25?

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
