Hi All,

I have a bit of an issue I can't put my finger on and I am hoping the SAU community can help.

I recently imported a 33 GTR and when I drive the car and keep it at a steady 3500 rpm there's a miss. Below and over 2500 rmp the car runs ok. Having said that the fuel consumption is very bad and there's plenty of back fire in normal driving.

I have done my home work and searched on this site and Google and the below have been helpful but not solved my issue.

What I have done:

  • Changed spark plugs to NGK BCPR7ES which I chose after reading a thread on SAU
  • Changed the fuel filter
  • Changed the CAS
  • Changed the pod filters to airbox
  • Changed AFM
  • Changed BOV's and checked piping was on tight
  • Changed the coil packs and sealed them with dielectric goo as the YouTube video suggested

The car sounds a little rough on idle but I am not sure if this is because the cam timing as the in was set to 0 and ex 2 degrees retarded. I noticed this when I did a full service on the car and I changed my timing belt. HKS cam gears came as a surprise. (the car was missing before the service)

The only thing I haven't changed is my injectors and fuel reg as one of the topics said that possibly could be the issue.

Before I start removing the fuel rail, injectors and reg is there anything else that could be causing this issue?

All your input will be greatly appreciated as I am stumped!

Thanking everyone in advanced.

Most likely a vacuum/boost leak.

Last time i had a miss it was the igniter module, in my case it was above 3500 but sounded like the wide spark gap or faulty coil pack issue.

In your case with backfire it sounds more like a Vacuum or boost leak, you need to check your hoses and pipes first.

Thanks guys!

I think you might be right about the vacuum leak as I believe the brakes are not as good as they should be. I have found a workshop that has a vac leak tester (think it's called a smoke test) and have a booking on Monday.

Having said that though I used carby cleaner and sprayed around hoses but I didn't notice anything.

Will keep you posted on the results/ solution.

Dead or failing o2 sensors do all those things...

Hi Trent,

Thanks for your response. Does the engine light come on when an 02 sensor fails? Currently I don't have the warning light. Also, if I plug a diagnostics tool will I be able to tell if the O2 sensor is failing?

Thanks.

.. r33 GTR missing at 3500rpm!

2 questions:

- Where did it go? I assume it came back/

- Do you have a picture of the flux capacitor install?

Cheers

Justin

LMFAO! :yes: I'll pay that one.

Just unplug them and see if the miss is gone. This is called open loop.

Oh I already did this a few weeks ago and the miss was still there. :unsure:

What do you mean by brakes not as good as they should be?

As in making hissing (or bubbling) noise when it comes to complete stop as you'd felt on the pedal?

Do the brakes get better with a few hard stops or do they fade? It is worth changing your brake fluid (any new fluid but something like Motul best). Otherwise a change of pads might be indicated. They could be track pads which don't pull up well when cold or they could be just rubbish pads (have a read of the brakes section for some suggestions) - I bought Pagid but they are quite expensive and there are other types that people like.

      Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.

      Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
