Hi Everyone! 

Recently for the past 3 months I've been struggling with a misfire problem with my RB25 (N/A), at first the car was only running on 5 cylinders so I changed the oil and replaced the coil packs with red jackets and they seemed to have remedied the problem until now. Recently I have replaced the coil packs with Splitfires and all spark plugs have been replaced, whenever I drive maybe after 20 mins my car splutters like crazy and there's black smoke coming from my exhaust, and while the car is spluttering if I press the throttle down like 10% the car will just splutter non stop untill I press down more, when I bought the car it was mechanically A+ as I brought it to my mechanic and it ran perfect for the first few months of ownership. any advice on what to look for? or what might be causing these issues?

My R34GT is completely stock other than a cannon exhaust (just the muffler) and the coil packs (Splitfires). Running on Vortex 98.

Thank You! 

- Emmet

Hey mate, it sounds like it could either be an engine problem or exhaust related issue.

You need to have a good mechanic have a proper look at it.

Are you able ro take a video of the problem to provide a better description?

Hey Robocop, Yeap I'll take a video and upload it to Youtube tonight for you.

I've taken my R34 to Just Engine Management in Sydney and they actually told me it was the coil packs, so I replaced it with Splitfires but my car still splutters. I installed the Splitfires and fresh sparkplugs last Friday (26/10)

I would be trying a different cas to see if that helps. With heat they can get worse. First thing that's easy as is clean the maf, but that's not likely to help in this case.

A video won't help, and I can't see what an exhaust related issue would be, but hey it's up to you.

Hey mate, I ruled out faulty coils and sparkies as you’ve just bought brand new ones.

I mentioned exhaust as holes in the piping or blockage can cause misfire and suttering.

Come to think of it also try cleaning your AFM.

Time to start replacing every sensor and part of the car, im currently half way there and still have a similar issue.

Current theory is the tank could be full of crap leading to a dirty fuel system.

I never thought about the fuel tank, but interestingly I fuelled up to full and the car was very good for two days, but once it got to  just above half it started to splutter even harder, that might be it, I'll have to check my tank to see if its full of crap soon, but for now I will clean my AFM, if I can't find whats wrong then eventually yeah I will just have to replace all sensors one by one, let me know if you eventually cure the problem even if its not in the near future!

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
