as unlikely as it sounds but a broken ringland/piston can cause a miss under load.

whats ur fuel pressure regulator like?

a flogged out dirty catalytic converter also can cause problems.

this happened to me , i had a dry solder joint alomg my loom , midway along it too mind you , absolute prick to find.

could be that

Hi I am new in the forum and I have the same problem. My car is R33 GTS-T 25T Series 1 Auto. I recently increased boost to 12 pounds and started to experience misfire only at full throttle (the car has a pod filter, cat-back 3" exhaust, Unichip, bleed valve and standard everything else).

I took my car to Nissan yesterday and fitted a new set of standard heat range 6, NGK Platinum plugs (previously Greddy Iridium, heat range 7), which improved the misfire problem a bit. However, idle rev has gone up from 660rpm to 760rpm.

Any thoughts will be much appreciated.

Gday Kymmy!

sounds like over fuel for sure...

same rev range same boost range...

yeeeeep

Cheers guys,

Well, I'll just wait until the AFC is in and tuned, and if it still does it, i'll be looking at the AFM.... daym!

Maybe it's better to go for a Z32 AFM ? How much are they in comparison to a stock AFM ?

crooser,

By single misfire, i mean, it gives about 3-4 big pops consistantly between 4000rpm and 5000rpm.. then power comes back on after 5000 and it runs fine till redline...  

so frustrating...

  • 4 weeks later...

After a full major service today thinking my misfiring/poping would disappper has not helped.

i ran 14psi on my r33 series 1 at 4000 - 5000 rpm she would misfire bad. I got a pod, highflow cat, 3'' exhaust system and a custom fmic. As a result i have to run the factory boost level to avoid this problem.

Anyone got definate solution to this nightmare we are all having.

Well heres my plan of attack in the next few weeks and will update this post with results.

1. Coils (another pair)

2. SAFC

3. Z32 AFM

4. Electronic boost controller (I might have a faulty bleed value_

If it doesnt get better im gona go nuts. any comment welcome as im runnng out of ideas

Thanks in advance

As a last ditch effort, look at higher energy ignition.

I admit I know nothing about MSD type units - in fact I was surprised to see someone on this forum revert back to a VL style "distributor cap and 6 wire" type setup.

However some people have gone to Splitfire D1 coils and this solved their problem.

But they aren't cheap.

Has anybody thought that maybe it may be a faulty injector/dirty injector??? An injector could be dirty and staying open a little possibly and causing overfueling in a cyliner. One of my plugs was blacker than the rest so im getting my injectors checked.

HI WLD747, have you got a boost cut defeater? We have 700 bhp RB's running 1.5 bar with standard ignition, I don't think you need to look at upgrading.

Have not read the above threads so maybe i should keep my mouth shut but I like almost everybody on this forum have had flat spots like you!

I started a thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=23922

and got lots of suggestion most of which were fuel related!

All r33's are going to get a small flat when the cam changes position around 4500 revs. And a fuel modifier like a s afc or something should fix that. But if you are getting really bad ones then you should not rule out the air flow meter, ignitor pack or spark gap...

Spark gap has probably been suggested already but I had somebody change my gap from .80 to .76 which totally fixed the problem, so even the slightest change in gap can make a difference. I should also mention that I am running NGK iriduims.

Have a look at the link above there might be some suggestions there that could also help you!

Sump Baffels? Wtf?

Anyone had the ignition module (black box on top of the engine) die on them?

I've got similar engine skipping problems, and after trying everything else, I'm thinking that may be the cause

rev210 is right the problem is ignition.

This fix has worked on 3 out of 4 cars that I have tryed it on including mine and hitnrun's cars,

Croosers car being the one that it didnt work for (he had a stuffed Afm).

Advance the ignition timing from 15 deg to about 22 deg. no more than 25 deg and then reset the ecu.

Regards

Damqik

Gunmetal has the right idea and I second his post re: .74mm gap with stock ECU on upped boost. check this thread, I just went thru the same BS and sorted it.

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
