Brand new Splitfire misfire (r34 GTT)


Recommended Posts

As the title suggests, I just bought brand new splitfire coils from just jap as well as a brand new genuine coil loom. I bought them because I was starting to develop a small misfire but also have my tcs and slip lights on and was informed by race pace that coils would fix it. After failing to fix my tcs issue my car now has a pretty serious misfire. The spark plugs were replaced very recently too so they are fine. Any suggestions on why the misfire would be much appreciated, and any information on the tcs and slip lights would also be super helpful

Tcs and slip lights don't have fault codes.

They do.  You can use ANY decent scan tool to pull the fault codes out of ALL the CUs in the car.  That's ECU, TCU, ABS/TCS and HICAS.  There are even procedures* for putting those CUs into diagnostic modes and the idiot light on the dash will blink the codes at you.

 

*that involve turning around three times with you hand on your head, shouting "Wiggle wiggle wiggle" and doing 5 star jumps while reversing slowly at <1 km/h.

I have read the manual back to front and to only way to read error codes from the abs/tcs is using a Nissan consult device, not just "ANY decent scan tool". The method for bridging two pins to get into diagnostics mode doesn't work for TCS. Unless you have some magical method for doing this which I would love to hear about

    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
    • Well, of course there's something wrong with the suspension. It was like that when it came out of the factory. Nissan wanted it to ride at least 50mm higher than most of us. They wanted it to be comfortable enough that the press and user reviews didn't complain about fillings being knocked out of teeth. The marketing people wanted to be able to talk about their fantastic new 4WS system (even if it was a pointless exercise, ha! pointless! Do you see what I did there? no? oh well. too bad). There weren't any semi-slicks or semi-semi-slicks or 18" wheels. Laser pointers didn't exist, so you couldn't easily build a bump steer gauge. There wasn't any better technology for suspension bushes than squishy shit in a condom. The list goes on.
    • I personally recommend not messing with factory suspension until you can clearly identify something wrong. For example I think the R33 might need some way to adjust front camber because I feathered the edges of the tires much more than the center of the tread doing some figure 8s and slalom.
    • Did some baking today, managed to fit it all in the oven. Turned out pretty good. Hopefully it holds up well to a bit of tool abuse.  Popped a few pieces on to see what the colours will look like. Pretty happy with how it came up.  Now to wait for the rest of the stuff to rock up
