Hey guys. Haven't been in for awhile. The car sold in less then 24 hours lol. I was surprised. Got 6k which is fine by me. I've already put a deposit on an r33 gtst series 2. This one is registered haha not making that mistake again. And comes with a rwc. Car drives great. Only thing I noticed wax the idle was a bit up and down. Not too low. But from normal idle and went up about 500rpm or so. He said the acc valve probably needs a clean. He's going to show me how to do that. Really nice guy. Is there any other causes for it? The coil packs aren't the best, could they be a cause of idle? Let me know

Try get him to sort out the idle hunting b4 u pick the car up. Could be, dirty iacv, coolant sensor, air in cooling system, vacuum leaks, coil packs to name a few things. Have u had the car properly looked at and comp tested? Wouldn't want u to end up with another lemon:)

P.s everyone is a nice bloke when they're trying to sell u something.

I know but he seemed genuine. He mentioned that coil packs aren't good and that battery will need to be replaced eventually. Has stock bov on it. I haven't had the car properly looked at but it felt really good besides the miss firing when hard accelerating. But I have cool packs coming. Has an apexi power fc. Oh he said it hasn't been tuned since 2013 so will probably need a tune eventually. Everything else felt perfect. Really well looked after . gearbox and clutch were great too

These are the mods in the car.

3inch custom turbo back exhaust

HKS GT-RS turbo

Nismo 550cc injectors

Nismo fuel pump

Blitz return flow intercooler

Apexi power fc

Apexi pod filter

Drift catch can

Greddy sm integrate gauges (boost, oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, fuel pressure)

Greddy EBC

Bride drivers seat

Pedal covers

Apexi front strut brace

Nissan rear strut brace

Hks hypermax 3 coil overs

Hicas lock bar

Dtm 18 inch rims

DBA slotted front and rear discs

Qfm a1rm brake pads braided brake lines

I'm not going to lie I do take risks if it's a calculated risk. I am learning as I go. I know a decent amount more then I did a month ago. From what I was reading misfiring could be due to low compression, not enough fuel pressure, coil packs etc. Does have be more worried now so I'll ask him if he's done a compression test and ask i I can do one before I pay for it. If compression is good I'll probably just go ahead and take the risk

Look what happen to your last car mate, it was a dud, props for trying to sort it out but you lost $$$ doing it, buy a car that has no problems that you can just hop in and enjoy

it was tuned at RE customs in 2013.

i have some interesting news. i bought the car. compression was all good. now for the bad part. on my way home on the free way in heavy traffic the front left tyre went out and i couldnt get over to the left lane to pull over for a bit and the tyre ended up shredding and rolling on the rim for a good 200 metres i'd say. the tyres looked good so im not sure wtf happened. maybe re treads ?

scared shit out of me at 100 kmh. pulled over to the side of the road eventually. ended up threading 2 of the wheel nuts ( actually i think it was the tool to get the nuts off ) so i told the guy and he and his g/f rushed down to help out but he couldnt get it off either so they called racv and had it towed to mine for me for free. the other tyres look brand new so im really not sure what happened. anywhooo after that long and freezing nightmare i got it home safetly. got racv to get the wheel of this morning. i think the rim might be too damaged now :( but i have spare r34 gtt wheels. i think i need a spaced though cause i have a feeling its hitting the brake calliper just ever so slightly.hear a little clicking noise on that side.

so anyway i put in some yellow jacket coil plugs and its not misfiring at all now . its very very smooth and it go's hard !! the idle is a bit off though. go's up and down about 100rpm. never too low though. car starts perfect with the new battery in it too. so minus the scary beginnings im quite pleased with it :D

new spark plugs arrived right after i put the coil packs in lmao i couldnt wait. so i'll do all that tomorrow and change oil,filters etc. OHHH and im going to attempt to take the aac valve out and clean it.been reading the DIY on these forums

here's a little video of me driving it around. didnt want to speed so kept it mostly under the limit besides a few quick bursts lol. only went full throttle twice since it was right after i changed coil packs and was a bit worried it would still be misfiring badly

oh and the noises that sound like grinding gears is just stuff rolling around in the boot lol phone picked it up really loud i didnt even notice it when driving

i've got one lined up mate lol they're letting me know in a few weeks. fingers crossed !! every job i went for said i needed my own transport. so i got it :) not that this matters on a car forum ?

i kind of like working actually lol i've been doing odd jobs every now and then where i can get a lift to it lol would love to have some extra cash that i can waste on my new car :P suppose i should spend some one my fiance too...

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
