Hi

Thanks to anyone who has taken the time to think about my cars issue.

Below are the mods done to my car in a little more detail but firstly im asking if anyone has experienced a similar issue to me and what you have done to resolve it.

Secondly if anyone has any suggestions on the next step in the process then im also interested to hear it!

My car has developed a misfire, actually its more like a hard cut rev limiter at about 5200rpm if under load. At idle or lighter load it can rev higher. The wideband indicates the AFR is not changing when the problem starts. The plugs all look fine. Fuel pressure is available (checked while under load on dyno). Symptoms are the same no matter what gear its in.

Already Tried:

Checking Plugs, replaced, and gapped them progressively tighter until getting as low as 0.3. Replaced with Iridium plugs at .8, then refit new copper at .6 - No change.

New Coil Packs - No Change

New Leads - No change

New injectors - No Change

New Crank Angle Sensor (checked with timing light to top dead) - No change

Disconected turbo compressor from intake to test with no boost. - no change

Some more details about the car.

built motor, T04Z Turbo - no maf sensors

Haltech Platinum 2000

Ls1 Coilpacks

huge fuel system

Im sure ive left out some key info however ill come back and add anything the moment i remember it.

I had something similar on our GTR, turned out being the ignitor module.

Also check your earths to the engine, ignitor module has one on the R32 GTR's on one of the rear bolts holding it down, unsure about later R33 GTR models.

Hi guys thanks for the time.

It sure is an interesting one!

The ignitor module is no longer in place, LS1 coils have an ignitor built in. All have been replaced.

Dwell time on coils is supposed to be 3.2ms @ 13.8v. Ive altered the ecu as low as 2ms right up to 5.5 and it makes no difference to the issue.

Prior to the misfire a wideband afr was fitting approx 1 month beforehand.

And yes, happens in all gears on dyno and all gears ive tried on the road.

hey dude i had this problem :)
i had a haltech and my tuner had set up a fail safe setting that would set up boost cut. if the boost spiked above a certain psi it will boost cut.
i could rev past it if was on light throttle but if i punched it in 4th gear from low down like 3000rpm and waited and waited and waited then bang full boost would come on hard at 5500rpm and it spiked a bit it would hit the boost cut and almost throw me through the windscreen haha. for example boost was set at 20spi and when it came on boost like that it would spike to 21psi and the boost cut was set to 21psi and then it would boost cut... maybe this is your problem

i also had a similiar problem when my fuel pickup line had a split and the fuel wasnt quite making it all the up to the top of the tank before a bit was spilling back into the tank. once again on full boost the haltech registered that the engine was leaning out, so it would boost cut. maybe it is a fuel issue, but then you said that the AFR's arnt changing to hmm its a tough one

Both ideas make sense but one thing I tried was disconnecting the turbo compressor from the intercooler so the engine would run without any boost at all. Still the exact same proplem.

Also ive checked the fuel pressure with a gauge while on the dyno, not fuel pump or pickup related as the pressure in the rail does not drop.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
