Hi,

I own a GTST series 2 R33 and just about 2 days ago i have noticed that in second my car is missing in the higher RPM range. first, third and forth is fine just second. I had the car tuned up only about 2 months ago.

Any ideas?

Cheers

adam

a number of factors can effect it, bascalyl it isnt getting as stronger spark all the time thats why it misses at high rpm.

If hte plugs are old or u dont know when they wher echanged get soem NGK copepr plugs they are cheap, u can get ones that are already gapped to 0.8 , if u do a search they u can find the part code.

I remember u dont wanna buy the plus with -11 after the number becasue that indicates a 1.1ml gap.

Dodgy/old /cracked coils will also casue a miss fire.

And its normal for it to only do it in one gear? sorry bout all the questions

oi adz, take out ur spark plugs and check them, might be old/dirty or they might be new and ungapped. gap them to 0.8mm and that should do it. if u got cracks in ur coils look in the DIY section for a temporary fix, then save up for splitfires.

curently mine only does it in second after putting in plugs that i have not gapped down. So yes it can do it in certain gears as the load is different depending at what gear u in at WOT

So i guess first thing to do is remove the cover and check the coil packs. then if they look fine remove and check the gap on all the spark plugs? then gap them to 0.8? right???

:(:O

    • Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again  
    • The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p
    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
