Currently have annoying misfire problems. The engine is RB30neo, after taking car to reputable tuner he replaced cas with secondhand cas , a coilpack, std fuel reg, fuel filter and said the fuel injectors are dirty and fuel filter was blocked.  So he road tuned car and said its better now.

Original issue was it running like a wrx for first 10mins, after that it was a rocket.

So now after it being at the workshop, it still starts like a wrx and now it has a strong misfire at 4k, right at the point it used to start breaking traction.

So i started it up and pulled one coil out at a time, cyl 3 and 5 not firing.  These coilpacks are brand new, have replaced them twice now.

So my question is what can cause cyl 3 and 5 to randomly not fire? Or are these splitfire coils fake copies?

1. get a new tuner 

2. never seen fake splitfires

3.get your multimeter out and start continuity and voltage checking. Also inspect loom for damage.

Yep that workshop gone to shit for sure.. not happy..

This morning i tried again, and cyl 3 and 5 dead, so i put 2 old coilpacks in and she ran sweet except heavy breakdown under load later when was hot.

So whats the chances of 3 brand new coilpacks failing on a cold start?

Loom is brand new from kudos, plugs new also..

What about the cas or ecu, can they play these kind of games?

I dont really have a clue about multimeter testing.

CAS "might" be cooked and the ECU is unable to determine a home signal, i.e. 1x full revolution of the CAS to determine TDC.

This could affect your car starting, however without using any tools it might be hard to diagnose.

 

Maybe try record your PowerFC hand controller with a GoPro or phone and see if there's a RPM when the CAS is rotated OR the car is cranked.

The coilpack harness might be new but i bet the main engine loom is not. I would start looking where is passes the exhaust, where it passes through the firewall and around the ECU header plug.

Youtube how to continuity test with a multimeter, its an excellent skill to have and difficulty level is 2/10.

Sounds like a similar issue i've had...

You running a Z32?!

Yep a z32, today again cyl 5 so i switched it with cyl 6 coil and just like that all 6 firing...

Will start looking into the multimeter idea and the cas test..

Is this plug helping? Last set was a BKR7E that had a split in the electrode

That's a hot plug man, no way would I use that in a higher boost application (or any boost for that matter)

Is it just me or is that plug gap huuuuuge?!?!?!

  • 2 months later...

Small update, i changed the plugs back to BKR7E and she has all the power back with no misfire's... 

The issue still remains, that is i start it and its on 5 cylinders until i drive up the road and load it up in second gear , then it seems to clear up and runs perfect.. except for it usual jerkiness on very light throttles which i assume is the camshafts or maybe tailshaft slop..

So what could it be that clears up with some load applied, could injectors be need8ng cleaned after 10k and using ethanol? Diesnt ethanol clean shit???

Tuners explains it as it must be dirty injectors but after he put shit plugs in not sure if hes right...

Coolant is not going down and fuel economy is good, power is good, its just cold start on 5cylinders till loaded up.

Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
