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

    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
