Hey guys

Iv had my r33 s2 for bout 6 months and for the first 4 months it ran sweet. But all of a sudden it developed a miss so the first thing I did was turn my boost down to stock levels as it was at 10psi. This didn't stop the miss, oh and I had just recently done a service on it and changed the plugs and gapped them to .7.

Over a few weeks it got worse so I found some second hand coilpacks from on here and the guy who had them said they worked fine at 14 psi for him.

Why is it that now after a few weeks of having them in it is still missing?The miss was not as bad when I first put the coils in and it would take more boost around 10psi again but it has died off and has started to miss like bitch again. I'm planning on getting some yellow jackets or spitfires in a few weeks but if you guys have any clue as to what else it could be any help would be awsome! My list of mods are

3" exhaust

Fmic

Blitz dual sbc

Apexi afc neo

Pod filter

Pleeeze helps me I don't like having no powers!! =[

S2 don't have an ignitor. Does it miss when idling? If so, you should be able to narrow down which cylinder is missing by unplugging each coil pack individually in turn. Then when you have found the one that didn't worsen the idle from unplugging it, you can swap it with a coil pack from a different cylinder to see it the problem moves with it. If the problem moves with it, Bingo! You've solve the mystery. If the problem remains on the same cylinder then it means that something else is the issue like possible injector problem or coil pack loom etc....

It does miss a little on idle but it is bad under load. I use Bp ultimate. The plugs are coming up 5000 ks and can't remember what plugs I'm using think they bcpre6 or something like that

Hey mate,

I'd make sure you have the platinum or similar spark plugs which are about $23 ea first.

I'm having a similar problem to you though. Although mine happens under load not on idle, idles fine. you can take your coils out and get some good insulation electrical tape (not cheap shit) and tape 3 or 4 layers over the stem of the coil as they earth out somehow. I did this with mine but its still missing under load but not as bad. I advise to get someone you know who has good coils and try them in your car. Then you can eliminate the coils. As far as i know the stem earths out under load aswell as the maind part breaks down. I think mine are breaking down at the main part. Im getting some coils off a guy in QLD and i hope it fixes the problem..

If not it could be the coil loom. Its just a process of elimination which is easy as you can do it your self ;)

Also what ECU are you running? stock?

I'm running a Wolf 3D ver 4 which isnt the best but i know it has been tuned to 310HP when i first got the car so the computer isnt the issue with mine.

Hope this helps dude.

Kier.

Yeah mine happens under load as well just on idle it skips every now and then so no miss on idle. Yeah got stock ecu i have added front mount and recirc blow off valve since getting the car so it could probably do with some adjusting on the afc neo but I will go over things on Sunday and see how things look permitting its not bloody hot!! What plugs do you recommend using kier?? Cheers for the feedback fellas

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.

      Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The nature of my commute has changed. Way back then it was traffic lights all the way, for ~28km. It sucked. When they finally stitched the expressway together I could do a good 15+km of it at a steady 80-100 with no stopping. That alone has gotten me down to flat 10s. Prior to that it was mid-high 10s. I can't remember the delta that I saw when I got the idle down. It was only ~150 rpm, because the idle speed was never terrible, but for the delta in consumption to be noticeable it would have had to have been at least 0.2-0.3 L/100km - which is not to be sneezed at when it comes for absolute free. It's only about 50L per year, but that's ~$100. A few extra pizzas is always welcome. Note that I have a record of every tank of fuel that has ever gone through my car except for a handful put in by someone else, like my mechanic. I can show you the difference between stock RB20 and tuned RB20, stock RB5Neo and tuned, winter and summer fuel blends, winter and summer fuel blends when the ambient temperature is not appropriate for the blend, working O2 sensor, blown O2 sensor, boosting f**k out of it and frightened to boost it because it is pinging, and so on. OK, I probably can't do all that now with 100% clarity - but at the time when any of those things were in event, you could see it in the records. There's 25+ years of simple tank after tank records, so you have to look for landmarks to work out approximately how old any single record is. What's really important is the meta data and that lives in my head.
