Hyperdrive remapped my ecu.

R32 is 10psi stock, and my untuned ecu handled 14psi through the stock turbo and 12psi through the RB25 turbo (still didn't hit R&R but it pinged when on 14psi).

My guess for the misfiring is the coil harness, I had mucho problems and was swapping coil packs in and out. Turned out it was the plugs that go onto the coilpacks - the insides were falling apart. $120 for a new harness and it's mint :P

cool,thats wat i wanted to hear!!

Any ideas where i might find one?? EBAY??

Also, nice video on youtube mate!! :P

lol cheers :( which one?:P

You can get them from Nissan but when I asked they had none in stock, was going to take 3 weeks to get here.

Ended up getting it from RHDJapan and with shipping worked out pretty much the same as buying it from Nissan but I got it in 1 week instead of 3 :P

I got the R32 GTR coil sub harness --> here

But likely due to our dollar sucking so much ass, they seem to be $275 delivered now :P

I'd ring Nissan and see how much they want..

i can ask my parts guy for a price and ill get back to you on that

hey dude, had any luck??

anyone else got any ideas on this thread?

our parts guy have been flatout for awhile so i didnt get a chance to ask him( everytime i go to his office, hes on the phone with a customer and some have talked right through lunch time or another call jumps in after he finishes the other).

ill get him 1st thing in the morning tomorrow and ill post it up when i get back from work

Definately recommened a Nistune and s1 turbo. If you have a spare bit of cash, get an EBC. You wont regret it!

If u r referring to an Electronic Boost Controller(EBC), i've got one of those.

Cheers R33 Nick, hear from u soon!

Just wondering.. are u using a pod filter? Cause previously on my car I had the similar problem.. all i had to do was take off the filter(apexi pod) and use a lightpowered airhose and blow out all the dust and stuffs.. ended up solving the problem but eventually changed the filter after a month :)

Just my2c.. hope it helps! ;)

*Edit* sorry didnt see u had mentioned having a pod :)

Edited by Slowpoke

Try cleaning you airflow meter sensor with some brake cleaner could be dirty and pull ur intercooler pipe off the turbo if there is oil in there your turbo seals could be causeing the problem, even try adjusting your timeing

My understanding is the standard R32 ECU adjusts timing on its own until it detects knock then adjusts it back abit, rinse and repeat.

Btw don't clean out your pod filters with an airhose it can damage the material, which is why K&N etc have cleaning kits for them.

The ecu has timing maps, that's where it gets its' timing info from.

The maps are relative to the base timing though, so if you adjust the CAS it adjust timing across the board.

No probs. I still think it's a spark issue (breaking down) as opposed afm or oil in cooler like that other guy reckons. When you have 20yo wiring/plugs, you would want to look at replacing them just for the hell of it (especially mission critical wiring).

yeah it seems to me that its the same problem i have, which is coilpacks. Its 90% chance to be the coilpacks and well they are worth replacing at any rate. Our cars are old, its worth going through and replacing things. Hence why I've got alot of lines and fittings etc that I'm in the process of measuring up to replace. 20y/o rubber and wiring needs to be replaced or checked at some point.

Might not necessarily be the coilpacks themselves, while it is common there can also be issues with the wiring associated with the coilpacks. I spent a few months troubleshooting a misfire and it turned out my 19yo coilpacks were fine but the plugs on the harness that connects to the coilpacks were falling apart.. everytime I took a plug off the insides would disintegrate more :down:

My stock coilpacks were so fine in fact, that I ended up selling the splitfires I got when I was troubleshooting.

    • See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars
    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 馃檪  I know what it looks like  
    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
