Wats up every 1 just bought a r33 gtst s1 ive been looking through the files and seen a lot of stuff on popping sounds at high revs ive changed the plugs about 2 times and each attempt was a failure ive checked the coil packs they seem to be fine they have no cracks in them or anything the first time i pulled the plugs out they were a bit white on the ends with those plugs the car only popped at high revs then a funny thing happened the popping went away but accelleration was retarded throttle felt sticky every thing felt real sticky wasnt blowing off properly but you you could pretty much redline it every gear 9 outta 10 times then a week later that stopped throttle felt better but popping came back changed the plugs again and cleaned all the pipes and throttle body put plugs back in acceleration was bit better but still got popping at hi revs and a little pop in the low revs around 2000 changed the plugs again i think one of them wasnt spaced right put new ones in any ways i think ngk bcpr7es gapped them at 8mm now the acceleration is alot better engine idles beautiful but i have a major problem i cant oppen the gas right up as soon as i give it full gas it starts popping bad if you give half you can redline it but cant do this fast tottaly a pain in the ass so now the popping noise dosnt sound so much in the plugs more under me in the exhaust bit more of a back fire do you think this could have to do with fuel like maybe its running to lean or something if any one has had any simillar problems could they help me it would be much appreciated

My mate had this same problem, it turned out to be the coil packs. Get a shit heap of insulating tape and tape up the stems, and grab some araldite and fill in any cracks. You can give that a try, otherwise you are up for a few new coil packs.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
