Hi all,

Just changed the turbo exhaust manifold gasket and car is much quiter

Also changed the plugs which god knows how long they were there with which were bkr5 to bkr6

Car runs fine and did a zero to sixty under 6.4 as that is how i am measuring its power:D

But two issues from 4k upward the car seems dead and power band is flat . As far as i know the neo moves from 5 psi to 7 but that isnt working i guess

Also sound of turbo is lesss

Second issue is misfire

You can hear the missess every now and then when car is standing idle or when reving and it revs down you can hear the spits backs

What can it be?

Plug changed( could it be too cold for my engine?)

Coilpack cleaned and used dielectric on it

Turbo gasket fixed

The fuel canister pipe was leaking a bit of air which i fixed it but no improvement

Does the consult software tell you anything ?

How would you narrow the misfire?

Many thanks

You could swap the coil packs around to see if you can localise the cause.

One point to add is , my coil pack connectors click things that ensure the coil is in tight is place is broken however i check it and all are in all the way

Also engine light , anti slip and hicas came on

I did move out the plugs and each caused the engine to run worse suggesting they are working

I think i have just figured out the issue




Here it is , i cleaned the plugs and applied dielectric to it to the round of the coils and then inserted the jacket or isolator


Now in the process one of the plugs had its spring come out as it seems it was glued to the based as with all other ones so i manually inserted it in and put the coil back but it was loose so had to hold it by hand while putting that single coil on the plug


As i changed the plug , it could have dropped out so there is bo spring in there which can mean one of the coils is playing up


I need to open then all again to check, can the spring cause such issues and if so can you get the spring on its own ?

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
