Just got my first skyline(r33 gtst s2) the other month and was impressed with the performance and overall car, i got it 100% stock so i put in a KN pannel filter next i got some yellow jacket coils and new spark plugs( NGK iridiumi BKR6EIX-11) car was running fine then i fit the plugs and coils and car was running rough as and would misfire after 4000RPM so i thought it might be the coils i put the old ones back in and it was fine at idel but still missfires at 4000rpm.

Can someone help a newbie out?

Thanks

Sounds like plug gap. Gap the plugs down to about 0.8mm and the misfire should dissapear. Iridium plugs are not the best for forced induction. They have a really small contact point and a large plug gap the spark phsyically blows away from the electrode under revs and boost. So gap them down or go back to 0.9 on a standard ngk. Ive used standard ngk in cars making over 800hp.

Looks Like everyone ditched ya lol

Diagnosing problems can be a pain in the arse but half the time its process of elimination.

And thats the easy part.

ask yourself these questions.

did you get it past 4000rpm when you first drove it or before you installed the plugs and coils?

the problem could of been there before you brought it.

If thats not the case then something you put on the car is giving you trouble,its to coincedental.

Get a mate rev it to 4grand and do the ol' disconect a coil at a time test to see which cylinder is playing up

that will give you a leg to stand on.

you have set the gap and 100% sure you have the right spark plugs?

then its not them,you didnt say if the coils are brand new if they arnt test the resistance with a DMM

also maybe ur air filter is in the wrong way haha.

if the prob is fixed let me know what it was :)

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
