hey my car has been doing this for a long time now, it seems to pop pop pop pop and hesitating if im taking off from a stopped position, if im gentle it doesnt do it but if i take off a bit quickly it will do it, it used to only do it with 91 octane but now does it even on 98. Its much worse on hot days, it happens alot worse on high boost but still does it but not as bad on normal boost. Could this be coilpacks?

the car is an R33 GTST S2, no real mods and high boost is only 11psi and low is about 6psi

You shouldn't even try to run these engines on 91 RON fuel, even on 6 psi.  You may well have pinged the thing to death and no have lots of damage on top of your pistons making hot spots and making it more prone to pinging.

Nevertheless, this is the standard "my car is missing" type of question and so all the standard answers that have been rolled out millions of time before apply.  Ignition system, AFM, CAS, etc, etc etc.  All possible.  Internet diagnosis is impossible.

oh sorry i ment the premium 95 but now does it on 98 as well, i never run on 91 unless emergency and i have octane booster in car just in case, i feel like its coil packs cos maybe it started after i put the coil pack cover back on im not sure, i never used to have it on

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
