Hey guys, its probably been discussed before but this is a new one for me ? 

I have a misfire/boost cut issue, not sure exactly what it is, list shows what's been replaced recently!

New Series 2 AFM

New BKR6E Spark Plugs (0.8MM)

New Series 2 Splitfire Coilpacks

New Coil Pack Harness Loom

New RB20 10psi Actuator

New Turbo Gasket Kit

New Exhaust Manifold Gasket Kit

New Intake Gasket Kit

New Exhaust Gaskets

New ARP Head Studs

New 1.3MM MLSR Cometic Head Gasket

New Gates Racing Timing Belt

New TruFlow Water Pump

OP6 Neo Turbo

Aswell as New Xtreme HD Clutch just freshly installed.

Seems to have developed a misfire think it was cylinder 6, taking it to a Skyline Specialist in a couple weeks, just seeing what else I could try on here first! ?

Stock ECU atm, got a fresh Platinum Pro waiting to go in.

Happy New Year ?

If it's a real misfire on #6, and you have all new ignition gear on it, then we will assume that it's not ignition.  But nevertheless, swapping coils &/or plugs around and seeing if the miss moves is a worthwhile diagnostic.  If it's not spark, could be a bung injector.  If it's not those things, then it may well be internal.  Have you done a comp check or leakdown?  Cometic gaskets have very particular surface finish requirements.  Was it put on properly?

If it's not an actual miss and it is instead a boost cut type issue.....OP6 turbo running at 10+ psi will possibly overrun the ECU's happy spot on the AFM signal and call a halt to the fun.

Pretty sure it stays in #6. Injectors were cleaned and flow tested when head was removed, haven't done a comp test yet or leakdown, definitely need to do those! I'm 99% sure head gasket was put on correctly.

Yeah I had that boost cut when I first put the actuator on, replaced spark plugs with 0.8mm instead of 1.1mm and coilpacks with 2nd hand splitfires, and had no boost cut issues after.

That doesn't make a lot of sense.  Boost cut is an ECU function, not an ignition system health issue.  Making it work better (more power) should make a boost cut worse.

It's not necessarily a boost cut anyway.

The other consideration is boost leaks, injector seal leaks, etc.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
