yes, find somone with the same car with zero missfire problems. then raid their set-up for their coil pack loom. it's only a short piece, easy to swap. make sure you just change 1 thing at a time, so start with your orig set-up. then try loom. then try coil packs, then ignitor etc. also i'd suggest if you are running more boost than stock or plan to go for BCPR7ES (they come gapped at 0.8mm) as they are one heat range cooler.

can anyone tell me if letting the ignitor just hang without being attached anywhere is ok?

Its a pain putting and removing the the center valve cover.

Ive heard of a couple of guys here whove killed a ignitor from letting it just hang there....

i will bring a old thread up as i dont want to start another thread on splitfires etc

my problem is that my r33 miss fires from around 4800? thru to 7000rpm im guessing as the vct kicks in it starts miss firing mods are

stage3 slidingperformance hiflow

intercooler

3" from turbo no cat

walbro fuel pump

now ive only had the hiflow for about 3 days now,and since bolting it on it miss fires on all boost settings including stock 7psi, before with stock turbo it would only do it anything above 7psi so i could run stock 7psi wen it would carry on and could rev it cleanly... i was using .8 gap on my plugs so yesterday i explored and regapped the plugs to .6 they are a ngk plug heat range 7...now this has fixed all my miss fire problems runs like a dream on 7 thru to 13psi

now if since i regapped to .6 it fixed my miss wat was the weak link before that? coils? stock ecu? ive ordered splitfires thru sliding they sould be here within the week,im not fussed if they were my problem but i wanted to get them anyway b4 powerfc so ive got it all sorted b4 it goes for a tune..so have any of u guys got a clue as to why .6 gap runs perfect and .8 gap onwards it misses terribly.

sydneykid give me some info! u seem 2 be the man around here lol

.6 means less of a gap to jump for the spark, like when the coils are worn etc, on healthy coils you can put the gap back up!

same issue i had!

I would have tested the coil packs first...

there is a thing in DIY about it if i recall.

well would stock coils handle 250rwkw i wasn't sure if they would so thats why i wanted to upgrade the coils its only $600

stock coils fine a 250rwkw-will be fine for alot more power to as long as they are in good nick- I changed mine at 300rwkw

whilst at the Veilside workshop earlier this year I was poking around their 7 second, over 1000hp R32 GTR... guess what. standard coils. not sure if they run them all the time, but it was definately using them whilst I was there.

like mr660hp said. the coils are great providing they are in tip top shape which after 10 or so years in a hot engine they generally are not in good shape.

thats probably the main reason i changed mine as mine are in 1993 r33 and are gettin old and would only cause the miss fire after they heat up!

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
