woohoo cars developed a missfire which rapidly became undrivable when warmed up.
possibly head gasket/ fluid in cylinder type thing...possible coilpacks...possible ignitor.... possibly just the wrong temp air in that part of town...ok now im just hoping for the best.

ok good news. heads fine. coolant looked a bit... off colour so well flush  it and keep an eye on it. you never know their might be an underlying problem but for now she's running sweet again.

im over spitfires and ignitors so I'm now running R35 packs. much simpler. problem solved. cheap outcome is a good outcome.

 

now back to working out how much to spend on bushes and coilovers.

My vote MCAs.
I went over the top, put MCA reds in my 33, Josh at MCA tuned the valving for me after a chat about what i wanted.
Took all of the sketchness out of bumps on hills roads like up to Lobethal that my old Tiens had. Feels stable in the corners but doesn't jar the spine on Port Road. I'm sure their street options would be just as good, but perhaps give them a call to chat.
They're also perfect for sitting in the garage with engine out too, sigh.

odd question, my collant is overflowing normally into the overflow tank when the engin is shut off but its not drawing back in when cooling.
imusing a 1.3kg cap which is the highpreasure cap, is this likley to cause an issue for basic driving? shoudl i revert to the nomral 88kpa cap?

Awesome build!

Sounds like a lifted head or gasket not sealing somehow. To exceed that cap pressure you'd have to really be running that motor hot and I don't suspect you are. A lifted head or bad head gasket seal will push coolant like that at operating temp and pressurize the system. When the motor cools the pressure is still there because it wasn't caused from heat in the first place. Are your rad hoses rock hard after you romp on the car a bit?

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
