I should have my car back this Friday and it will have a HKS CDI installed as well. Will see if the miss still occurs.

cool

I'd like to see what actually gets replaced with the CDI system - just to be sure that I have covered all bases

anyone know exactly what's in one of these kits ?

i have one sitting on my desk infront of me right now...

it doesnt replace anything at all. you get a little bronze coloured box and a wiring harness (i purchased the BNR32 specific harness). the harness intercepts the TPS wiring to get power, and the wiring between the stock transistor pack and the coils.

i can post pics when i get home from work where my camera is.

so

the std ingnitor (little silver thingy @ the back of the engine) is NOT get replaced

what about the std spark plug loom - does the new loom replace that or just plug into the existing one !!!

it provides BIGGER/FASTER spark - which is what my splitfire coils were supposed to be doing :(

all the stock looms and parts are still used.

Well guys

I think I have mode some progress here

I have moved the earth lead that comes off the ignitor pack.

I installed a grounding kit

I replaced my +ve and -ve battery terminals (with better quality units)

I did all this on Saturday (3 days ago) and so far - no more missfire

will let you know if it comes back

still got good results ?

Well - funny you should ask

The car had been running fine - with NO missfire at all for the past couple of weeks

BUT

I had the guys at Mercury Motor sport do some work on the car early last week - and they removed the ignitor pack (to check the temp of my plugs) and when they put it back I suspect that they move the earth wire again

the up shot is that my missfire is now BACK !!!

I'll have a look at this again over the coming weekend and let you know if I fix it again :(

Where did you move the earth wire to?

Just to give you something else to think about...

On the datalogit forums there's a brief mention regarding the pfc's Ign dwell vs RPM values.

It was noted that at low rpm the pfc defaults are too great causing the coils to over heat and run a tad too warm.

At high rpm 'apparently' they need a little beefing up. Nothing conclusive but something to look at.

It was mentioned that the splitfire coils require slightly different values to that of the genuine nissan coils.

The bloke doing the testing measured the values with some special tool designed to measure dwell vs rpm.

Well something along those lines anyway. :(

I installed a new engine cover (the bit in the middle that covers the coil packs) - this allowed me to move the ignitor pack back up on top of the engine cover. I took that opportunity to make sure I had a good earth when I moved it (which I assume the guys from Mercury have not)

Prior to having the engine cover on - the coils and the ignitor pack shared the same earth - and I was just using one of the screw holes that holds the coil pack (plug) leads in place

I plan to make a dedicated earth strap over to the -ve battery terminal over the weekend - so I will let you know how that goes.

Any idea how I would check my Ignition/dwell/RPM settings – can I check this with just the HC - I do not have any 'special tools' :P

I do run Splitfire coils BTW

itbilmils,

Was this what fixed it or was the std earths (with a nice clean surface) with the cover on sufficient?

  • 2 weeks later...

mine does this now...

i might have to try to relocate the earth for the ignitor....

does this miss do any damage?? my knock is normally below 15 any way, and the miss fire only happens once in a week or so...it only happens at cruising speed, and very light throttle...

Yeah the night my power fc went in mine started doing this. it has a great tune with minimal knock every now and then when driving off boost and making the transition to decent load I get a missfire but thats it then it just revs normally.

Like I said doesn't happen often and has not got any worse in 3 years.

    • Rear doors central locking wiring removed and cleaned. See the first 8sec video of when it’s filled with river silt. its a snip of what I’m up against. front and rear doors complete now. Maybe another day removing carpet and bits and pieces. Then the re assembly begins. 🤙 att.DqweJqhY5MZiZYQDVMhn3LtvdD1RBZ7TBG4f2s7W1zM.mp4 att.lFuN22MZEowqCbFAXoDw009r2gHL76ChMVfxMfBX-uk.mp4
    • There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.
    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
    • Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞
    • No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
