R32 GTR misfire. O2 sensor readings.

 

Hey everyone, hoping I can get some insight into this..

I've chasing this misfire since months. Engine boggs heavily when cold until coolant temp reaches 60 degrees celcius. Clears up as soon as it hits that mark.
Engine misfires heavily under high load above 4000 rpm. 10 psi boost.
Engine is bone stock. Stock ECU.

Work done so far:
-New coilpacks and harness.
-Spark plugs BCP7ES gapped to 0.8mm
-Fuel pressure and injectors ok. New fuel filter. 12.4 volts at fuel pump.
-Smoke tested- found air leak and replaced all 7 intake gaskets and all hoses underneath. Smoke tested again - no air leaks now.
-Swapped CAS. no change
-Swapped MAFs. no change.
-swapped boost solenoid. no change
-swapped coolant temp sensor. no change.
-Base and ignition timing is on point.

Now i'm looking at o2 sensor readings. They don't seem normal to me but I would just like to confirm with anyone with more diagnostic experience than me. Here is the data from ECUTalk via consult.

Idle after hitting closed loop: 0:00 - 0:25
Shy revs: 0:25 - 0:30
Idle : 0:30 - 1:00
Hold rpm 1300: 1:00

Please. I will appreciate any input.
Thanks!

Unplug them and see if the car drives better...

Have you tried swapping the ignition unit on the valley cover with a known working one?

I presume all parts were swapped with known working items?

Have you done a comp test?



I will try unplugging them thank you.
I converted to r34 gtr coilpacks so ignitor pack was deleted.
Yes eveything was from good running friend's car
Yes. Compresion test yielded even 160 psi on all cylinders while engine was hot.
Boroscope each cylinder. Valves and cylinders looked ok. Just a little bit of oil around the piston rings but thats understandable at 155,000 km.

Did this problem occur when you did the swap to 34 gtr coil packs?

Just stabbing in the dark but maybe that's your issue...



No unfortunately not.. its been there since a long time preventing me from driving the car

don't run them... you'll have shit fuel economy for now.. but at least the OEM ECU won't add in any funny fuel trims for both short and long term...

once you're ready, get an aftermarket ECU and feed a wideband o2 into it.

 

Sounds like you have electrical gremlins.

Don't run what? Are you suggesting that my o2 sensors are okay?

unplug both o2, don't bother running them - downside is you'll have crappy fuel economy but that's Skyline life.

 


Oh i see i will try that as Hadouken suggested as well. I have new o2 sensors coming in 2 days. Just wanted some input on my current ones

New or used Engine coolant temp sensor swap in?

Check the wiring and the grounding and use a new one for $50 (kudos motorsport)

 


Used one from a friend's properly running car. I've checked wiring. Didnt see any voltage drop

Put a scope on the negative of all the cylinders. #6 seems to be dropping below 5v. I'm not sure of what to derive from this. Checked resistance from signal wire to ecu for all cylinders and they are all at 0.182 ohms. Checked ground for Coilpacks. Resistance was nominal. Checked CAS signal wires (2) as well and they are a 0.145 which seems nominal.. I think

Swapped ECU from a friend's good running gtr. No change.. lol

 

Cylinder 6:

Rest of the cylinders:

If the engine is stock, and the coils are good, then open the plug gap out to 1mm. Also, you seem to have the wrong heat range plugs - the correct heat range is a 6.

 

BTW - I've lost count of the number of times I've had to say that the O2 sensors are ignored under anything but cruise conditions. So if you are on boost, the O2 sensors play absolutely no part in how the engine runs.

I've gapped the spark plugs again to 1.1mm recently and no change.. And yes, they are bcpR7es NGK 6282 (typo haha).  

The rpms start breaking up anything above 4000 rpm. The higher the load, the worse the misfire really.

Yes also that's cruise when the engine is up to temperature, and OPs problem is when the engine is cold.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
