Hi first time posting on here after many hours of reading trying to sort my r33

Okay its a r33 rb25 series 2 and it randomly starts misfiring really bad, it will splutter, or if on full throtle it will completely hit a flat spot again and again and it even cuts out at times. Plugs are fine replaced the cheap ebay coilpacks to stock ones and even replaced the cas, was thinking harness but when running you can pull on it and it wont missfire. Thing is it does it randomly like on a few odd ocasions it will run absolutely mint no problems at all then it will run so shit like some days it will cut out over and over again...want to get to thw bottom of this, any help is really apreciated

Okay its an auto, nothing major on mods just the usual aftermarket intercooler, pod filter, boost t and exhaust runing about 11 psi. Okay so when  it does it on idle it blows black smoke cause not burning all the fuel and can cut out whenever, for example other day i pulled out my drive way and it cut out twice doing like 15..... fuel filter has been changed and dosent matter if tank is full or not, thanks for the response  guys

Hmm sounds like a fuel issue, maybe put anothe quarter tank of 98 and see how she runs? One of my 33s would start to cut out at around 1/4 tank then not start once it had reached just under a quarter before the low fuel light even went on (probably the owner messing with the fuel gauge needle when changing the cluster bulbs or your fuel filter needs replacing/fuel pump is on the way).
Or it could be a vacuum leak since mine blows black smoke and cuts out really bad when one of my intercooler pipes blow. Are you running the stock blow off valve plumbed back? May have issues idling/starting without the stock bov setup if running stock ecu.
Also if its mainly happening on wide open throttle, lower your boost to 8 to test if the ecu is going into 'rich and retarded' mode.
Also what spark plugs are you running? At 11psi they should be gapped to around 0.8mm (alot of people recommend NGK BCPR6ES plugs).
Also look at your coilpacks if they are factory/ebay ones. I had a splutter on 75%+ throttle running 9psi and wrapping my coilpacks with silicone tape fixed it.

Just read your response, could possibly fuel pump? It sounds like something small to be honest so maybe take it to a known mechanic/a jdm shop/tuner and have them look at it before you spend any more money. If they quote you a ridiculous price, at least you'll know what your issue is.

Just last week my auto 33 turbo was having the same issues without the smoking. I got brand new NGK spark plugs as mentioned above, i taped up all the coilpacks with electrical tape (3 were red Ebay ones and 3 were stock ones, all looked fine to the eye but probably had hairline cracks). The boost was 10, i completely removed the boost tee and ran straight to the actuator to elimate issues with it (some are fakes and some just work shit, just run stock boost until you sort the issue).

I thought it could be boost and putting ecu into rich an retard mode but can happen when not on boost at all, dosent matter if tank is full or quater and is not dependent on throtle can happen at all throtle positions, has stock bov and have replaced a full set of coils to stock ones and the car they came of had no missfires or anything..the reason i dont think its fuel is because it just does it randomly like other times it goes hard

Check the plug to your ECU, I had a similar thing and it was the plug.  They only have a single centre bolt and can sometimes twist off on one end.

But personally I'm with Kiwi, take it to a garage and ask them to check the fuel pressure while you're at it.  Its a 5 minute job.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      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.
