miss firing is most probally the answer.

check sparkies first if tats not the problem then coilpacks...

happen to me tooo...

get ngk iriway7 or iriway8(or equivalant). this sparkies are made for japanese cars like this. do go trying out stupid sparkies like iridium. cause me a headache....

Hey thanks so much guys :D yeh i think its a miss-fire, Due to the plugs.. but the thing is ive changed... I'l try and regap.. them.. They are irdium ones .... Sorry whats PFC? im confused there :D ? oh and yeh its a 33...

plz don regap ur spark plugs(cheap way to do it)... its an ancient tool tat ppl use 10 or more years ago... who ever ask u to regap doesnt really know wat they are talking about.

i got lectured by a mechanic saying tat everyone is asking him to regap the spark plugs... he say he rather not do my business when u got a proper item design to eliminate the problem.....

getting a plug is not expensive.... $35 each for ngk iriway7 or 8

Would this be the same solution for the R32 GTS-t with turboback exhaust, aftermarket cat, fmic, pod, stock everything else? I think mine has those iridiums as well, if i go by what the owner said, which so far was all true.

you have no idea what your talking about.

Regapping plugs is neither dodgy or "an ancient tool"

Its a well known fact that many skylines with mods will not run the stock 1.1 plug gap. buying expensive iridums at $35 each will not solve any problems either. Just get some BCPR6E plugs and check the gap is 0.8mm

all plugs should be checked with feeler gauges to see if they are what they are rated at... just cause it says 0.8 or 1.1mm on the box doesnt mean it is;)

Hey, i dont get it? so is it ok to regap or not? because i dont wana BREAK my motor? LOL? ... And what is the correct mm to gap to? 0.8? ot 1.1?

oh and sorry what brand is "BCPR6E " im guessing its NGK? so when i go buy some plugs all i need to give them is that code right.

Thanks so much guys!

Apexi power FC is what PFC stands for a ECU

Its fine to regap, just make sure you do it properly.

Yep just give them the code for the spart plug and they can give you the right ones. So as an eg: I use NGK 'BCPR6ES' which are factory gapped to 0.8mm.

don't gap iridium plugs.

the tip is very fragile.

Just go to supacheap and buy 6 copper plugs with the code above, with an 0.8mm gap. (they cost about $4.50 each)

while you are there, ask for a feeler tool to gap sparkplugs.

then as said above, check them.

lol i use a small flat head screwdriver which tip is 0.8mm.... since im always gapping plugs for other ppl i use this.. but yeah feeler guages shoudl always ben used to CHECK the gap of your new plugs... 9 times out of 10 the gap is correct but every now and then there is a misgap

Sorry whats PFC? im confused there ;) ? oh and yeh its a 33...

apexi power FC ecu, also get your timing checked and if the timing belt hasn't been replaced get that done also ;). another thing that may help is getting your car put on a dyno for a power run so you can check the air/fuel ratio , just remember your r33 (s2 im guessing) is 10years old now , small things like the fuel pump may be getting tired :)

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
