Misfire

[LotusGTR]

Got a misfire. It's most noticeable in 2nd under full throttle and it starts misfiring at about 5500rpm. In 4th at about 5000 rpm full throttle. I'm guessing it's coilpacks. In all other regards she's running fine. I'm sure other gears too but these are the stand out occasions.

Is this likely?

Cheers.

ANother vote for splitfires, had the same thing happen to mine

[-Dukes-]

Yeah, I got that problem too, I knew it was coilpacks though...

Just gotta pull 500 bucks outs my ass, lol

[N1GTR]

Some places want more than 500 for them now which is bad luck

Sounds like the coils then.....I think they're now $625ish. Nissan wants $1,200....

Gearbox is OK. Bit of bearing noise and 2nd synchro could be better. Long way better than my old one, but I'm still looking for the gearbox holy grail.

[LotusGTR]

Hey guys, thanks for your replies. Why Splitfire and not Nissan? Let's take price out of the equation in the answer to this.

[tridentt150v]

If it wasn't for price, the product would be the same pretty much. Some ppl on here have proven that by running big hp numbers on std coils.

[LotusGTR]

OK, so same product in effect but for a fair bit less $$. Who wants to sell me Splitfires for an R32 GTR?

http://www.slidingperformance.com/store/ is where i got mine.

Id check to make sure 110% though before buying.

Simply swap over with someone's who you know works.

You can use mine if you want, they are near new splitfires.

[jay1]

A kind offer. You're quite right as I'm only guessing it's the CPs. Drop me a PM with your number and I'll call to arrange?

Cheers.

Oh i know where that is. Look in my sig

I'd go genuine if I had the money.

but everything from nissan is a rip off... I went there once cause I needed a fuel pump. They wanted something like $900 for one. I picked up a new walbro for $170

umm instead of buying new coil packs why not just repair them? and when you have cash get splitfires then.

when i had my 33 repaired it then and never had a problem afterwards. mates GTR33 is putting out 270 atw and was getting misfires like you on full woot did a repair and all is well

my current car R34 GTT 240 rwkw also had misfire and 3 hours to repair and its as good as new.

all you need to do is take it out clean it all up then put a nice thick coat of clear nail polish. i did 3 thick coats on mine and took about 3 hours from taking it all out to going for a test drive.

all it is one or more of the coil packs have a fine fine hair line crack on them so on fool woot the sparks archs out of it causing it to misfire.

its very easy to fix and is a cheap alternative while saving up for splitfires.

Thanks for your input Ash but I think I'll go for a more robust and permanent solution. The CPs are now 18 years old and I can't be fugged going on my next all too rare drive to miss out on my fun because my....erm....wife's nail varnish didn't do the job. Glad your trick has worked for you though.

Does the car runs ok now?
