Hey guys, so i was at drift prac yesterday and my car started to missfire.

It was fine for the first 2 laps, boosted hard and ran awesome. off the limiter fine. then my car died in the ass. felt like a boost leak, reved to 4-5k rpm and just spluttered burbled and died, wouldnt build more boost. went back into the pits - no boost leak at all.

So went back out and it was fine again for the first 2 laps / same story. so then i started thinking something to do with heat soak.

back to the pits, took coil packs and plugs out, the plugs had fair amount of calcium (i think) build up on them. and when the 5th coil pack came out the spring fell out of it -___-. but even if this was the problem wouldn't the car still run on 5 cylinders? - hadent changed the plugs my self yet - only had the car 2 weeks

hmm so thats pretty much what happened. havent had a chance to put new coilpacks in, or plugs as yet. but not that keen on forking out 550 dollars for split fires if its not the problem..

Cheers, Luke

/ IT STILL MISSFIRES...Back to the drawing board... Replaced all the plugs and put in an AU falcon coil pack set up - all brand new so ive pretty much eliminated ignition as a source for the problem.

So.

-runs fine when its cold. when it reaches optimum operation temperature, i can drive it as hard as i want to for about 5 minutes / dies in the ass

-Ignition has pretty much been ruled out.

-no boost or vaccum leaks.

-not a fuel problem as it only happens when the car is hot.

so.

Tonight im going to Replace the AFM.

After that i might look at the sensors / oxygen sensor? or water temp sensor not letting the ecu change maps (is this even possible, dont know much about rb20's)

Has the fuel pump been replaced?

How did u fit the au coils? What ecu are u running?

Do u have any pics of the spark plug tips? U said that had calcium.

The au coilpacks are easy as to fit, just suss the write up on 31 club, you need to cut your coilpack loom up and merge it with the falcon plug, cost me about 200 for the set up + new plugs - all brand new!

And the problem was the ignitor pack.

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
