OK GUYS.....hoping some one with more upstairs than me can maybe shed some light on my problem...being its doing my f#@king head in ..!!!

what I am working with ::; R33 (S2) SEDAN. (5 Speed )106,XXX Kys. 160 across all 6. ALL BLITZ :: TD05 TURBO. alloy intake. I/COOLER. twin ZONE BOOST CONTROLLER. Alloy INTAKE. pod filter . 100 Mill EXHAUST. 750 Injectors . Blitz reg.. t/ timer. ect.ect..

I am an old fart now and had 12 R33,s over my time but THIS ….  has got me ….Whenever it wants to it just shits itself "spark" wise and misses and spits and breaks down at ANY REVS..?  it CAN do this  after a cold start at tick over and run on 4 ? (sounds like it ?) it WILL come good ? ?  hit the road and 10 mins later of good get up and go.....  it falls apart AGAIN ….on boost .. or...off boost !! (running 1.2 bar...  

NOW...have changed Coil Packs (new )...have changed plugs (new ) I evan bought 2 sets of plugs in case a couple were dicky ??  NOT 6 months ago had a full (POWER F/C ) TUNE !  any help on this Fella,s would be appreciated ? …..OR.....  I am in for another Power F/C tune....!!!!  cheers Nick P.

cheers my friend ...for the quick Reply !  THIS...is why I posted up !!  do you start throwing coin at an "RB" trying to snag a "WIN" when It come to this sort of problem ?  ( I am looking at CAS ? ) at this stage ?

have another R33 Coupe in the gge… may swap these units over to see IF I get lucky ?

Just finished changing ALL "vac"  lines just in case ?  thanks for your Input !

Boost leaks are frequently found hiding in metal to metal seals with gaskets (think plenum, etc).

What plug gaps?

What are the new coils? If they are rainbow coloured, they are for rainbows. We only accept new genuine Nissan, Splitfire, or substantial upgrades as proof that they should work.

State of the fuel pump? If it's dying, it can cause lean misses.

GTS BOY....  I AM over it already !!   have better things to do on a Sat than chase gremlins ??

NOT  a boost leak.  this IS DEF an electrical problem !

but in answer to your Q,s....  "yellow jacket" coils. plug gap "08". does not matter if I have the $130 a set plugs in... or....  the $35 a set in ?? the problem IS inconsistent !!! this IS what is doing my head in ??

can miss on start up...… can miss when ever it wants at any rev range. can be cruising along at 60 kys and you can feel it come on (car falls apart ) ? 5 maybe 10 mins of Shit..... and it goes away till later ?

have closed the bonnet for now & will book it in with Matty at PITTS  next week.. !! "book it" don't know how long before I can get in into him to check it out . Busy Shop by all accounts ?? Shit happens I guess.

OK GUYS..??   "YELLOW JACKET" COILS !!!

 I AM going to take a shot in the dark here and say you boys DONT like them..? 

any advance on 2 Peeps saying THEY are my problem here ??   cheers.

LOL....

Love the hit rate, 9/10 misfires always relate to colourful coil packs.

My advice, stick to black OR blue.. avoid any other colour 

 

How to fix:

  1. Buy proper coil packs, can be OEM or R35 conversion kit or Genuine Splitfire ones
  2. Remove current set
  3. Throw them into the bin
  4. Install new coilpacks
  5. Start up car
  6. Do a massive skid and post it up here

Take the CAS off and turn it by hand - feel for any roughness that indicates stuffed bearing - or better still swap in a known good one.

Yellow Jackets (or red ones or anything but OEM or Splitfires) are a known weak point.

Could still be fuel supply problem.

OK BOB...totally agree with "cas" ? so have today had this out & swapped with one from my build r33 coupe in the GGE... NO change . so its not this.

Fuel delivery was done by previous owner ? don't know what pump it is but by jingo it IS a big unit ? I have a 044 In the coupe and this pump is twice the bloody size (all black ) !!

still leaning towards C/Packs ? car was doing the same but worse around 14 months ago with the stockers in...  hence the yellows . will grab a set of SPITS and throw these in and see if I get lucky ?

if not……..   tuner !!

OK LADS....   I get your point !!   YES...  the car was running rough soon after I bought it and the "yellow jackets" fixed this a while back !   now back to crap again .

being an old fart at 63 …  I am looking elsewhere being I have  not got 2 years out of the yellow,s ?

not to mention...….  shit I am going though some fuel at the moment !!!!!

have put my name on a set of gen spitfires and will post up what if anything changes when fitted ??

appreciate your input lads...…….   cheers Nick P.

Bit from left field, but does the Power FC have programmable coil dwell. If set too high it will burn out the coils (personal experience).

My Wolf is set between 0.5 and 1.2 ms

No, and also with the none conventional coils from the land of dim sum and yumcha they actually misfire more with dwell and proceed to melt (ask me how I know) 

OK....   Quick one lads...  I can lay my hands on a very good set of "spits"

question  ::::   they are for/off a 1996 GTR....WILL these fit my (S2) RB25DET ???

How can I tell..??   the seller Don't know ???  cheers Nick .

The forum software needs an auto reply function where if an OP mentions the words "miss" or "rough" or "yellow" or "red" it will say back "It's the f**king coils!"

FYP?

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
