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.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
