Hey guys im having trouble with my s13 rb20 missing it has

New plugs

New leads

New au coilpack

Hiflow 33 turbo

Full exhaust

Xr6t intercooler

Walbro pump

Stock 32 auto ecu

The car starts and idles but it misses all through the rev range, sometimes bad enough to stop it revving.

All the plugs look like theyre burning the same (0.8mm gap) and it blows a small amount of fuel out the exhaust. Ive tried changing the leads around incase the firing order was out, and also dissconnected the afm to try see a change and there was no benefit. Cas timing is on the stock mark, and ive checked the coilpack wiring with the r31 clubs guide.

Im kinda stumped as to what it could be, any other ideas

Yes its auto....

And cyifly thats exactly it. Its able to rev right up like 4 5krpm at part throttle but almost instantly stops at wot.

Ill check the afm today, i think theyre different to gtr afms though. I pulled apart my gfs 33 gtst afm to find they are completely different internally, and i suspect rb20 25 afms are the same

Hey guys, reviving this old thread.

The issue still hasnt been resolved, but my last piece of the ignition system seems to be either ignitor or cas. Anyhow ive been trying to source another rb20 ignitor without success. Gumtree, wreckers etc

Has anyone converted their rb20 to run another style ignitor?

Rb25, vg30de, or something else?

This issue is really giving me the shets, i cant drive this thing and i need to do some shed skids

You'd be far better off doing as zebra says. Why anyone would install a 3 coil wasted spark setup onto an RB is beyond me. The smart money is on getting a set of known good stock coils (probably impossible for an RB20) or stumping up for a set of Splitfires. If you really, really wanted to modernise it, you could buy some (Splitfire) coils to suit a later RB25 that have built in igniters. You'd need a coil loom to suit, and have to do some rewiring at the point where the old igniter was between the ECU loom and the coil loom, but that's not likely to be hard if you've already dived deeply enough into this wiring to bodge in AU coils.

What dwell do the au coils need? If you don't give them the right dwell it will miss. I put ls coils in my car. On stock dwell it would miss under high load, sort out the dwell an unsurprisingly the miss is fixed.

RB20 Missing....

Where did it go? Have you found it? Who stole it? Did the rb30's bully it so it packed up and went home? How can you loose a 150kg engine? it's not like it's a set of keys... oor are you a giant? You probably are, and use an rb20 as a key chain... that great.

Well I hope you find you rb20 soon.

Mine was missing for ages, I got it on the dyno and checked the AFR, it was extremely low. The mechanic replaced the fuel pump and bingo AFR went up to 14/15 and miss went away. Check out the fuel pump.

      some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side

      It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers

      R32 Skyline Interior Door Light Issue

      I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.

      Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
