I recently bought an R33 gtst with series 2 RB25DET. I turned the boost down on my manual boost controller when I gave it an oil change now whenever It hits boost or even half throttle it will misfire and WON'T STOP at all... Check engine came on after oil change

Has link g4 440 injectors bigger turbo 42mm wastgate and straight pipe... Tuned to 240kw on 15 psi

Changing coil packs and sparks this week.. any help appreciated thanks

Splitfires are not expensive now. They are the same price as they have ever been, possibly cheaper in real terms. They are still the cheapest & easiest way to do a coil upgrade.

They are, however, not really any different in terms of performance & quality than the original Nissan ones, which have been popping up here and there over the last few years. The problem with buying "OEM" ones is that they are probably easier to counterfeit.

The smart approach these days is to replace with a modern pencil coil. Your choices are to buy a kit that uses Toyota/Denso coils (such as Yaris, or any of the 1ZZ tyes) and necessary wiring adaptation & mounting bracket, or to buy Nissan type (R35 GTR, VQ370 types) and the necessary stalk adapters and mounting plate. The Toyota options are cheaper as kits. The easiest/best Nissan options will cost you over $1k, but are the absolutely f**king duck's nuts in terms of performance capability, for a coil that can fit in the factory spot.

Not really, $600-odd for bolt in is good. When you compare it to cheapo red/yellow ones, yes, but they're on par with OEM and cheaper than the R35 route.

 

In the mean time, gap your spark plugs to 0.7mm and see if that makes a difference.

Dead coil packs affect the whole range....not just higher up.  Red is dead, Blue is true.

If you don't believe us, take the coils and get them tested.

Otherwise take it to a workshop and get their input.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
