1999 Nissan Stagea

(rb25det non neo)

is an RS so is factory RWD. has been manual swapped using an R34 GTT box

Need help before I take to mechanic as could be a simple fix. When driving normally there isn't a noticeable misfire. But when on boost, especially as soon as boost starts to just past half max psi the car stutters coz the misfire but continues up the rev range. Usually it's once or twice when I floor it but sometimes it will misfire alot when on boost. Cold or warm it happens with both. The more I drive it the worse it's getting and have no clue what it may be apart from maybe sparkplugs but it's fine til it hits boost. Also on idle it runs a little rough. Anyone know any possible solutions or possibly what may cause this and what to check. Cheers 

-Any help is appreciated 

mods include:

gt2860rs turbo

Bosch 750cc injectors

Z32 afm

Sard Fuel Pressure regulator

3 port boost solenoid

HKS Bov

Walbro 255 fuel pump

Front mount intercooler

ali rad

pod filter

nistune ecu. 

Recently had new intercooler piping, new coil packs, new fuel pump and new turbo core

Tuned at hyperdrive making 277rwhp at 14psi

Turn up the boost!

Would have thought you replaced the plugs when you did the coils. What sort of coils are they? Many dodgy ones out there.

Plugs NGK BCPR7ES (copper) or better PFR7G-11S

Try a smaller gap 0.8mm

I'll do that tonight and I'll let you know the results. But may I ask what does the gap difference do to help? I'm far from being a mechanic aha 

Much like it is easier to throw a ball across a smaller lake, it is easier for spark to jump a smaller gap.  

Or it’s easier to shoot a ball of lightning from your finger  a smaller distance than a larger distance.

Sorry guys had a lot of work and never got around to doing so. Took out and clean sparkplugs. Gapped to 0.6 but problem still consists. (Car idles a bit better but still original problem is there) But found something weird. When driving if I give it hurts and bang off limiter a little bit the misfire seems to go away for 5-10 mins and then it's back? Really confused

    • How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.
    • Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?
    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
