Well the plot thickens with this car... Driving today and it started misfiring and losing mass power, not just misfiring on one cylinder but totally dropping 1-2k rpm before giving me a few more splutters then dropping power again. Nursed it home (problems seem related to heat/load).

At this point I was thinking bad plugs/coil pack(s) or fuel pump perhaps. Got home let it cool down and and removed the coil cover and found that the car has Split Fire coils and NGK Iriway plugs, plugs seemed in good condition, no carbon build up, nothing cracked/broken etc etc.

So Im thinking, could it be the ignition module (Took this out of the car and cooled it down and drove again with no issues til everything was hot again) Or something timing related? (whatever it is related to heat/load for sure) or as mentioned, a fuel pump issue?

Here's some pics to help.

The Impul unit does not have diagnostic LED's on it at all =\ I took it apart completely and took soem photos of the EPROM if that's of any use.

hey would say it is the coil packs are breaking down when they get hot so they would only run on a few cils. Happen to mine yesterday, soon as i let it cool down. start it again and runs fine untill it gets hot again am getting new coil packs that will fix my problem could be the same as mine :P

Tacho just starts dropping as if the engine has stalled then fires a few more times so if I was at say 3k rpm I'd get nothing from the engine for another 2k rpm then it would fire a few more times etc. If I clutch in and let it try and idle it'll bounce between like 20 and 1100rpm lik it only just fires in time to keep the engine running. It's not a hunt though like the famous AAC Valve issue on GTS25T's it simply just doesn't fire.

Any idea what an ignition module is worth?

I think i might possibly have the only R33 GTR around this area =D There 'might' be one more but I don't know the guy. There's a really good mechanic out of town who apparently races GTR's I'm trying to get in touch with him for some assistance. Might get the car into tuning shop or Nissan tomorrow to see if they can give me an error code.

Dude get this hting checked i had this issue last week and im running big power. my CAS was on its way out, and its f**king scary when your pride joy and big parts of you savings start to sputter and drop revs. i looked like a coil related problem but when i swapped my coild to a mate's RB 26 they fires correctly, after that i tried my ignitor, same agian, bu when i checked my CAS it was shot. it didnt give the correct signal, have it checked before smth worse happens

The one stuck to the side of the radiator? Will try it but my car is totoally not firing for a few thousand RPM before it will fire again, it's not just missing on one.

Trying another Ignition module tonight.

Fingers Crossed.

I had a similiar problem until I got my timing belt replaced and done 100,000km service to replace all the platinum plugs with new ones and got new coils, plus had the fuel rails cleaned.

If your in Vic Garry Rogers Nissan in Glen Waverly still service GTR's and they work on my r33 for stock stuff.

I have some new plugs on the way - I have split fire coils and I have access to some new coils I can try out. Will try that if the ignition module doesn't work.

When your timing belt was changed was the CAS touched?

Cheers

    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
