R33 s2 1996 missfire

I brought this car 2 days ago and between 5500 and 6000 rpm she missfires the owner before me had put spark plugs in the car that were 4 dollars each, i went to auto one and they said they should be 25 each the engine being a rb25det would this be why she miss fires??

Any help is appreciated!? thanks in advance

No, check the gap on the spark plugs. 0.8mm is what you want. The $4 spark plugs are fine,  BCPR6ES or BCPR7ES is what you want. If it still misses at 0.8mm your coilpacks probably need replacing. If its stock ecu you could be getting r and r. This happens if the ecu detects too much airflow and tries to protect the engine by dumping fuel in it. Try turning the boost down a bit to say 7-8 psi and see if the miss goes away. Try all that and report back, cheers. Buy some new $4 sparkies while you're at it and make sure you get the 0.8mm version BCPR6ES, not BCPR6ES-11

+1 for regapping plugs

I had the exact same problem after putting in cheap copper plugs and running 10 psi (felt like a spluttering and loss of power after certain rpm).

I gapped the plugs down to 0.8 and wrapped the coilpacks in electrical tape and the problem went away.

The shop said to get the expensive ones, who'd have thought it......

For future anyway, the advantages of Platinum are the longer service intervals (I think they claim 100,000km on the plugs) which makes them sound good. This is all well and good on a mazda 3, not so much on a modified Skyline. I perfer to change plugs more often so its cheaper just to get $2 copper plugs and change them more often

      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?
