recently i have brought a R33 Gtst, last night i was out giving it some shit when suddenly it started poping at high rev range and not reving out. i read about similar problems on this site and have changed pugs, checked coil packs, check hoses and intercoller sleaves. nothing has solved the problem was thinking it may be turbo related? and help would be very appreciated!

Mods include

dump pipe

3" zorst

fmic

safc (not tuned)

9 psi

Apexi pod

it could be, but safc has been in for a while and all things have been fine, could it be air flow sensor? i didnt see any cracks in coil packs but should i have tapped them anyways?

there is a bagillion threads on this

my brothers skyline did this

my skyline did this

coilpacks both looked fine, but replaced with the spitfires and the problem has 100% gone.

swap coilpacks with someone of same car / coilpack types

or just buy new ones

there is a cheaper option of running your external DIY mismatch of ignition system, thread here somewhere

edit: if you dont know someone with same coil packs, what you can do is drop the gap on your plugs. bring em down a good few tenths of mm. say from 1.0mm to 0.5mm. if this improves the misfire situation, then you know you have weak ignition. it may 'fix' the problem, but if you crank up the boost you will run into the same troubles

also a pro of getting spitfire coilpacks, i got my fuel economy from 13L to 11L. they'll be making me money soon! (2 years haha)

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
