32gtr Wont Start When Hot, Misfires On Boost When Hot

Recommended Posts

I have a bit of a problem with my 32 GTR when it is cold it starts and runs perfectly and no issue on boost. Only problem is after about 15 mins of driving it misfires under boost and when i turn it off it wont start again. It sounds like its got no fuel or spark but its getting fuel to the rail.

It winds over fast and then seems like it wants to go then just keeps winding over. But when i let it cool down for a bit it starts again without too much hesitation.

Its running a Power fc

Any help would be appreciated

Ignitor pack or CAS would be the two likely suspects given what you have said.

More so Ignitor pack as you say its angry when warm, this is the most common symptom.

To check, get some freeze spray from Dick Smith or something, and spray the ignitor box (black rectangular box at the rear most part of the valley cover)... if it springs to life after an immediate cooldown then thats 110% your problem

looks like it is the ignitor pack. i took it for a drive yesterday and when i got hot and wouldnt start i removed the ignitor pack and let it cool down for 5 mins put it back on and it started straight up.

Are the ignitor packs readily available or can you buy them new from nissan?

thanks for your help mate. I brought one off ebay for $130 so ill see how that goes. And if it fixes the problem than i at least have a spare that i will get exchanged.

I went for a drive before to a mates house to try his ignitor which is differant so it didnt work and then when i finally got it going again it was only running on 4 cylinders. So im just waiting for it to cool down and ill see if it will start.

I need it running properly for next weekend ill be taking it to WSID for a full day

well ive replaced the coils, ignitor pack and the coil loom isnt much good im off to just jap to get one of them in the morning. The issue with it misfiring under boost may be fixed but still no spark on number 4 coil. ive tested the loom and all the joins etc are ok.

Any idea on what would be causing it to not spark on the one cylinder?

just had an auto electrician look at the car all the wiring is ok looks like the power fc is rooted. there is no output on one of the coils from the computer. Im going to pick up the standard one from the previous owner and see if that fixes it

    • Well I had 2 choices from then on. I either had to (reluctantly) move it on to another potential buyer and take the loss on the chin. Or I stick with it and turn it into a restoration project. I chose the latter. Project Snowstorm began! The frp body kit was the first thing to go. Turns out the original colour used to be silver. The Neo and gearbox were removed, along with the prop and exhaust system before it took a trip to the bodyshop, where I wouldn’t see it again for quite some time due to the pandemic hitting very soon after they took it away. Eventually, progress began and damage assessments made. Even the front chassis leg was in pretty bad shape!     Then the chopping commenced. For these guys it was just usual routine, to me it looked absolutely terrifying!   More to follow as I’m struggling to focus on my screen at 12:45 am!!!
    • That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers, 
    • Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.
    • Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.
    • Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?
